“…However, in the developmental literature, the lack of consistency in identified frequency band ranges reduces the ability to generalize findings across studies (Orekhova, Stroganova, Posikera, & Elam, 2006). A number of studies have identified developmental changes in topography and peak low-frequency NREM between 3 and 12 Hz across early to mid childhood in both wakefulness ( Orekhova, Stroganova, & Posikera, 1999;Orekhova et al, 2006) and sleep (Kurth et al, 2010;Samson-Dollfus, Nogues, Menard, Bertoldi-Lefever, & Geffroy, 1983;Sankupellay et al, 2011;Scher, Sun, Steppe, Guthrie, & Sclabassi, 1994), Furthermore, in work establishing infant correlates of adult EEG, comparable signals tend to occur at lower frequencies in younger compared to older participants. For instance, Marshall et al (2002) documented an increase in the alpha signal in awake infants across the first year ranging from 6-7 Hz at 5 months to 9 Hz at age 4 years.…”

lent and incident blood pressure; 6,7 (2) lower neurocognitive test scores; 8 and (3) automobile crashes due to sleepiness. 9 The respiratory review paper also provided suffi cient evidence for scoring hypopneas which caused as little as ≥ 20% to 30% fall in airfl ow and/or ≥ 2% or ≥ 3% desaturations. [10][11][12] However, the AASM wanted rules for scoring hypopneas which had substantial or excellent interscorer reliability. Interrater reliability (IRR) as it relates to scoring sleep in a PSG measures how closely individuals score the same sleep study. IRR when scoring a PSG depends upon the: (1) skill, experience, and training of scorer; (2) technical quality of study; (3) clarity and simplicity of scoring rules; (4) diligence with which scoring rules are applied; and (5) degree of physiological ambiguity of the sleep/wake patterns. 13 When two or more individuals score a stage of sleep or an event in a PSG differently, it can introduce enough variability to lead to a false positive or false negative for a particular diagnosis.The IRR for scoring respiratory events in a PSG is particularly affected by the: (1) duration of the event; (2) degree of reduction in the amplitude of the measured signal(s); (3) level of the oxyhemoglobin desaturation associated with it; and (4) presence and duration of arousal which accompanies it. Ayappa et al. found the percent scoring agreement for scoring apneas using a nasal pressure sensor was excellent (0.91) but only moderate for hypopneas (0.69) or fl ow limitation events (0.64).14 The more subtle the reduction in airfl ow, the more diffi cult to achieve good interscorer agreement: one scorer identifi ed 35% more fl ow limitation events than the other. Whitney et al. found a hypopnea associated with 2% to 5% desaturations could be scored with IRR of 0.90, but scoring agreement inPurpose of Review: Review published studies and critiques which evaluate the impact and effects of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine (AASM) Sleep Scoring Manual in the four years since its publication. Findings: Using the AASM Manual rules to score sleep and events in a polysomnogram (PSG) results in: (1) very large differences in apnea-hypopnea indexes (AHI) when using the recommended and alternative rule for scoring hypopneas in adults; (2) increases in NREM 1 and sleep stage shifts with compensatory decreases in NREM 2 in children and adults when following rule 5.C.b. for ending NREM 2 sleep; (3) increases in NREM 3 in adults scoring slow wave activity in the frontal EEG derivations; (4) improved interscorer reliability; and (5) successfully identifi ed fragmented sleep in children with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) from primary snorers or normal controls because they had more NREM 1 and stage shifts using rule 5.C.b. Criticism of the Manual most often cited: (1) two rules for scoring hypopneas; (2) alternative EEG montage cancellation effects; (3) scoring stages 3 and 4 as NREM 3; and (4) too few rules for scoring arousals and REM sleep without atonia.

“…Spontaneous brain rhythms are important indicators of brain development in neonates. For example, previous electroencephalography (EEG) studies have demonstrated that there is a significant relationship between spectral power and postmenstrual age (PMA) in neonates for the delta (1-4 Hz), theta (4-8 Hz), alpha (8)(9)(10)(11)(12), and beta (12-30 Hz) frequency bands (Batuev et al 2008;Myers et al 2012;Sankupellay et al 2011;Tolonen et al 2007;…”

Little is known about the frequency features of spontaneous neural activity in the brains of moderate and late preterm (MLPT) newborns. We used resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and the amplitude of low-frequency fluctuation (ALFF) method to investigate the frequency properties of spontaneous blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signals in 26 MLPT and 35 term newborns. Two frequency bands, slow-4 (0.027-0.073 Hz) and slow-5 (0.01-0.027 Hz), were analyzed. Our results showed widespread differences in ALFF between the two bands; differences occurred mainly in the primary sensory and motor cortices and to a lesser extent in association cortices and subcortical areas. Compared with term newborns, MLPT newborns showed significantly altered neural activity predominantly in the primary sensory and motor cortices and in the posterior cingulate gyrus/precuneus. In addition, a significant interaction between frequency bands and groups was observed in the primary somatosensory cortex. Intriguingly, these primary sensory and motor regions have been proven to be the major cortical hubs during the neonatal period. Our results revealed the frequency of spontaneous BOLD signal differences between MLPT and term newborns, which contribute to the understanding of regional development of spontaneous brain rhythms of MLPT newborns.
