2014, Handbook of Clinical NeurologyCitation Excerpt :The commonest changes are generalized slow activity, but focal slowing and excess fast activity have been documented. The EEG sometimes shows definite epileptiform activity, as well as increased voltage of the photic response (Wilson and Johnson, 1964; Leubuscher et al., 1988). These EEG changes can also be found in normal subjects following the administration of thyroxine (Wilson and Johnson, 1964).
