2011, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :A number of principles should be applied by the neurophysiologist for an accurate interpretation of a neonatal EEG sleep study. The neurophysiologist's ability to interpret expected age-appropriate neurophysiologic patterns is essential before recognition of encephalopathic features (Scher, 1994a–h). Changes in EEG polygraphic patterns occur for neonates at increasing PMA up to term and into early infancy.

2008, Sleep MedicineCitation Excerpt :Historically, this feature has been described as a “temporal sawtooth wave” [5], with amplitudes ranging from 20 to 200 μV. After 32 weeks’ PMA, its incidence rapidly diminishes [40]. Rhythmic waveforms consisting of delta activity can also help estimate gestational maturity of the asymptomatic preterm neonate.
