| Summary: | The elderly population rising rapidly in Malaysia and contributes to the increasing
number of cognitive problems including mild cognitive impairment (MCI). However,
due to limited information regarding this problem which may progress towards severe
neurologic degeneration, this problem rarely diagnosed and left untreated. Hence,
the use of electroencephalography (EEG) biomarker is seen to be important with the
spectral power, coherence and synchronization between the both halves of brain explain
the pathophysiology underlined. This method is becoming popular for its capabilities
in quantifying changes in brain electrical activity and provide early signs of brain
impairment. This paper reviews the incidence of mild cognitive impairment in elderly
as an early cognitive deterioration signal. It continues with the role of quantitative EEG
analysis in providing the physiological meaning of their brain. This paper also provides
the information about neurochemical changes which associated with MCI. In addition, this
paper proposes an idea of study towards examining physiology, neurochemicals, diet and
lifestyles to promote healthy lifestyle in elderly. |
