Osteoporosis is a condition in which your bones break down faster than they regrow. Treatment usually includes a combination of medications and lifestyle changes. The most aggressive way to prevent bone loss is to take prescription medications.
To this point, direct examination of brain activity as a window into the clientâs mind has remained elusive. But advances in the field of brain examination using electroencephalographs (EEGs) may be changing all that. The first EEG was developed in the 1920âs by the German psychiatrist Hans Berger. He developed it to test the biological electricity produced in the brain, and first used it during brain surgery performed in 1924 on a 17-year-old boy.
EEG measures voltage fluctuations resulting from ionic current within the neurons of the brain. In clinical contexts, EEG refers to the recording of the brain's spontaneous electrical activity over a period of time, as recorded from multiple electrodes placed on the scalp.EG measures the brain's electrical activity directly, while other methods record changes in blood flow (e.g., SPECT, fMRI) or metabolic activity (e.g., PET, NIRS), which are indirect markers of brain electrical activity.
