A member asked:
My 10 year old daughter had an eeg and the results came back showing she had a lot of activity going on at the back of her brain, what does this mean?

Confusing question: This is a question best answered by the neurologist who interpreted the brainwave study.There should be brain activity throughout the brain. The eeg is designed to determine the strength and pattern of activity.It can also localize areas where an abnormal amount or pattern originates. Your description might suggest that is an area of trouble.Clarify this with the doc.
