The document discusses the mu rhythm, which is a central rhythm seen on EEG with an alpha frequency band of 8-10 Hz. It has an arciform configuration and occurs in less than 5% of children under age 4 and 18-20% of children ages 8-16. The mu rhythm is not blocked by eye opening but is blocked by touch, limb movement, or thought of movement. It is usually asymmetric and independent between hemispheres. The mu rhythm is believed to originate from the sensorimotor cortex at rest and can be prominent in patients with skull defects.
This lecture is all about the recognition of an abnormal EEG, its characteristics, its appearance and all about how to differentiate the abnormal activity with normal EEG background.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

MU Rhythm
2. Mu rhythm
Physiologic EEG finding of no clinical significance.
Central rhythm of an alpha frequency band (8–10 Hz)
with an arciforme configuration, intermix or alternate
with beta activity.
Occurs in less than 5% of children younger than 4
years of age and in 18–20% between the age of 8
and 16 years.
Not blocked with eye opening, but blocked by touch,
movement of limbs (especially contralateral limbs) or
thought of movement.
Usually asymmetric, asynchronous and independent
in the two hemispheres.
3. Mu rhythm
Consistent asymmetry of amplitude or frequency of
mu suggests an abnormality on the side of lower
amplitude or frequency.
Believed to be the rhythm of the sensorimotor cortex
at rest.
Prominent in the patients with underneath skull
defect (breach rhythm).
Paradoxical mu rhythm – induced by contralateral
movement or touch after the mu rhythm has dropped
out in drowsiness.
Paradoxical AR may be induced at the same time.
4. Mu Rhythm
Mu is a central rhythm of an alpha frequency band (8–10
Hz) with an aciform configuration.
Mu rhythm occurs in less than 5% of children younger
than 4 years and has the adult incidence of 18–20%
between the age of 8 and 16 years.
It is not blocked with eye opening, but blocked by touch,
movement of limbs (especially contralateral limbs), or
thought of movement.
Mu rhythm is usually asymmetric, asynchronous, and
seen independently in the two hemispheres.
It may present on only one side.
5. Mu Rhythm
Mu rhythm is believed to be the rhythm of the
sensorimotor cortex at rest.
Mu rhythm is prominent in the patients with
underneath skull defect (breach rhythm).
Mu is a physiologic EEG finding of no clinical
significance
7. Mu Rhythm in Young Child
A 3-year-old girl who underwent epilepsy surgery
in the right frontal-temporal region.
EEG shows breach rhythm with higher amplitude
of mu rhythm at the C4 electrode.
In infants and young children whose alpha
rhythm is still less than 6 Hz, mu rhythm can lack
its characteristic waveform
9. Breach Rhythm; Prominent Mu Rhythm
During Photic Stimulation
EEG of a 12-year-old boy with recurrent syncope
shows prominent mu during photic stimulation.
Mu rhythm is enhanced during photic stimulation
and pattern vision
11. Breach Rhythm; Prominent Mu
Rhythm
A 9-year-old boy with a history of right occipital
ganglioglioma resection.
T1-weighted coronal and sagittal MRIs with GAD reveal
skull defects and an area of previous surgical resection
(arrow head).
EEG during wakefulness with eye opening shows
frequent runs of asymmetrical rhythmic 9 Hz arc-like
activity in the central regions which is higher in amplitude
on the right side
13. Breach Rhythm; Prominent Mu
Rhythm
The arc-like activity in the central regions is
attenuated by left hand movement.
This is consistent with mu rhythm which can become
very prominent beneath a skull defect.
Sometimes, mu rhythm can simulate ictal EEG
activity especially in patients with skull defects;
therefore, activation procedures such as limb
movement are very important in their differentiation
15. Mu Rhythm activated by
Intermittent Photic Stimulation
Mu rhythm is enhanced during intermittent photic
stimulation77 and pattern vision78.
It is maximally expressed at C3 and C4
electrodes, and occasionally at Cz.
Some spread to the parietal region is not
uncommon.
In older children and adults, the most common
frequency is 10 Hz, slightly higher than alpha
frequencies
17. Mu Rhythm in Subdural EEG
Monitoring
Subdural recording during wakefulness showing a run of
mu rhythm.
Harmonic of the mu rhythm is more
frequently seen in intracranial EEG.
In addition, the mu rhythm usually shows sharper
morphology, as the scalp and skull act as a high-
frequency filter passing lower frequencies more than
higher frequencies.
Disappearance during limb movement helps to
differentiate the mu rhythm from a spike run.
19. Mu Rhythm in Depth EEG (Bipolar)
Mu rhythm during bipolar run of the combined
depth electrode-subdural EEG recording during
wakefulness.
The wave disappeared during sleep and was
attenuated by limb movement (not shown).
21. Mu Rhythm in Depth EEG
Implantation During Seizure
Intracranial EEG shows mu rhythm (in the box) during
the seizure with the epileptogenic focus at DC3 (depth
electrode contact #3) (arrow).
Mu rhythm disappears during the burst of ictal EEG
activity.
Recognition of mu rhythm prevents misinterpretation of
mu as an ictal EEG activity in the DD3 electrode which
can cause false localization of epileptogenic onset
22. Mu Rhythm in Depth EEG Implantation During Seizure
23. Alpha and Mu Rhythm
Eye opening (open arrow) attenuates the alpha
rhythm but reveals a prominent mu rhythm (C3 and
C4) at the same frequency (11 Hz).
Note lateral eye movement (X) after the eye opening.
Mu is an arc-like central rhythm with negative sharp
component and positive slow component. The
frequency is similar to alpha rhythm and it is
intermixed with 20-Hz beta
activity. It is located at the C3, C4, and Cz electrodes.
It is not blocked by eye opening but is attenuated by
movement of extremities or thinking about moving
with greater eff ect
on opposite hand. The apiculate phase may resemble
spikes.
24. Alpha and Mu Rhythm
Arcade, comb, and wicket rhythms, owing to its morphology…. have an arciform
morphology.
Occurs in waking over the central regions, especially the C3, Cz, and C4 contacts
(Fig. 2).
It is closely associated with the sensorimotor cortex, hence the term “mu,” for motor.
Mu exhibits a frequency in the…..
Niedermeyer observed this rhythm in approx 14% of adolescents’ EEG tracings, and
less often in younger children and the elderly.
Reactivity…attenuates with ….
With direct cortical recording methods (skull breach), a 20-Hz beta activity may be
observed from the sensorimotor cortex, with similar reactivity. Thus, the scalp-
recorded mu is likely a subharmonic of this underlying rhythm.
Mu is usually observed bilaterally with shifting predominance; it may, however, be
asymmetrical and asynchronous… explain some instances of highly lateralized mu
rhythms.
Exclusively lateralized mu should raise a suspicion of an abnormality in the
hemisphere …… mu activity.
Sometimes, focal mu activity in the setting of a bony defect of the skull may be so
sharp and of higher voltage as to falsely mimic an epileptogenic focus.
