The efficacy of a method of combined treatment, developed by ourselves, using transcranial micropolarization in patients with delayed development of speech and general mental development, was studied in 30 children aged 4-6 years. High therapeutic effects were seen with this method in 60-80% of children, with accelerated development of communicative behavior and formation of speech-motor functions, along with increases in the stability of attention and improvements in the processes of perception and the productivity of cognitive activity.
Investigation of the brain bioelectrical activity in children with remote consequences of perinatal CNS pathology showed that the typical "mature" EEG of young schoolchildren of the risk group has some specific features, which reflect a CNS lesion of a predominantly hypoxic origin. This specific temporal EEG pattern combines the mature basic ( α ) rhythm with slow and sharp activities. Sufficient compensatory possibilities of the CNS and their adequacy to increasing loads at school form a basis for efficient individual adaptation. Learning problems arise in the course of a child's development when compensation is insufficient because of a severe brain lesion or slower spontaneous rehabilitation, which is related, in particular, with the rigidity of brain mechanisms determining the complete maturation of the biorhythm structure necessary for the efficient integrative activity of the brain.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
