Abstract
There are few reports on the EEG of anencephalus. But any authors made no mention of themechanism of it's manifestation. Marking a linkin the chain of our studies on anencephalic brain, we report the EEG activity in our three cases ofanencephalus, which shows low and fast frequencies in lead of frontal region.
On the origin of EEG of anencephalus, we speculate that these records of electrical activitiesare taken from rostral part of these brain substance, i. e., the neurons of the pons, especially inthe reticular formation of the part, followingfrom the histological findings of serial brain sections in these cases.
