image: To study the role of Purkinje cells in essential tremor, the scientists made the cells express the light-sensing ion pump NpHR (green) in the cerebellums of mice and stimulated them with ...

Scientists then tested a method of calculating when seizures would occur in mice and humans by reviewing EEG files and looking for decreased activity in energy-deficient neurons. Their ...

A healthcare professional must view and analyze hours of video-EEG recordings ... to analyze the behavior of epileptic mice, identifying the behavioral "fingerprints' that can go unnoticed ...

They analysed the EEG when the mice weren't experiencing seizures, both before and after administering medications that either eliminated or exacerbated their seizures.

Scientists have used such methods to tinker with mice’s memories (SN: 10/4/14, p. 6). Volunteers in the study wore a headset to measure electrical activity with an electroencephalograph, or EEG.
