title: [Development of the electroencephalogram and the significance of neonatal convulsions in premature infants].
abstract: The anatomic maturation of the brain of preterm babies of 28-36 weeks of gestational age is characterized by an increase in continuity by a differentiation in behavior states in the EEG pattern. The EEG results are essential in the diagnosis of seizures in preterm babies. For the prognosis of these seizures the etiology and the gestational age also have to be taken into consideration. An amelioration of the prognosis of neonatal seizures is possible by adequate therapy.
