[EEG features during olfactory stimulation in drug dependence persons]
Abstract:
Power spectra analysis EEG was used for baseline interval and during olfactory stimulation in drug dependence and healthy persons. Intergroup differences of EEG spectra were related with enhancement of cortex biopotential power in narcological patients at parietal and temporal sites. Interhemispheres features of frequency bands contribution in EEG spectra were identified. Increased biopotential power in drug dependence persons was observed at left temporal hemisphere in high-frequency bands in baseline interval and during olfactory stimulation. Increased power of alpha activity was typical for right temporal hemisphere in narcological patients as compare to healthy persons. Detected neurophysiological patterns may be related with psychological and behavioral features of addictive disorders.
