Electroencephalography and Electrooculography in Dogs

Abstract

Electroencephalography (EEG) is an important examination method for the evaluation of functional central nervous system disorders. The purpose of this article is to review the use of EEG in dogs, explain the techniques and provide practical application in veterinary medicine. In addition, the relationships on the EEG model with the electrooculography (EOG) data are emphasized. It is also aimed to gain a different perspective on the fields of canine cognition and sleep research that have been developing recently. Applications of the techniques described in the article have already been made in a variety of dogs. The mentioned methods have an important role in the investigation of nerve diseases and functional activity of the brain which are among the most difficult areas of small animal medicine. These techniques will become more and more informative with the development of fields such as physiology, biophysics and computer science.

Köpeklerde Elektroensefalografi ve Elektrookülografi

Öz

Elektroensefalografi (EEG), fonksiyonel merkezi sinir sistemi bozukluklarının değerlendirilmesi için önemli bir muayene yöntemidir. Bu makalenin amacı, EEG’nin köpeklerde kullanımını gözden geçirmek ve tekniklerinin açıklanarak veteriner hekimlik uygulanmalarının pratikleştirilmesini sağlamaktır. Ayrıca, elektrookülografi (EOG) verileri ile birlikte EEG modeli ilişkisi üzerinde durulmaktadır. Son zamanlarda gelişmekte olan köpek bilişi ve uyku araştırmaları alanlarına yönelik farklı bakış açısı kazandırılması da hedeflenmektedir. Makale içeriğinde değinilen teknikler halihazırda çeşitli birçok köpekte uygulanmıştır. Değinilen yöntemler, küçük hayvan tıbbının en zor alanlarından biri olan sinir hastalıklarının ve beynin fonksiyonel aktivitesinin araştırılmasında önemli role sahiptirler. Bu teknikler fizyoloji, biyofizik ve bilgisayar bilimleri gibi alanların da gelişimiyle her geçen gün daha fazla bilgi verir hale gelecektir.
