Neonatal seizures are generally not only brief and subtle but also not easily recognized and are usually untreated. In sick neonates, seizures are frequently not manifested clinically but are detected only by electroencephalography (subclinical EEG seizures). This phenomenon of electroclinical dissociation is fairly common in neonates. On the other hand, neonates frequently show clinical behaviors such as stiffening, apnea, or autonomic manifestations that mimic seizures, which is usually associated with underlying encephalopathy and non-epileptic seizures. Therefore, it might be difficult to confirm the diagnosis of neonatal seizures. Early recognition of neonatal seizures is important to minimize poor neurodevelopmental outcomes, including cognitive, behavioral, and learning disabilities, as well as the development of postnatal epilepsy. EEG is a reliable tool in the determination of neonatal seizures. Continuous EEG monitoring is essential for the identification of seizures, evaluation of treatment efficacy, and prediction of the neurodevelopmental outcome. However, there is not yet a wide consensus on the optimal "standard" lead montage for the continuous EEG monitoring.

Although recent studies have shown the usibility of [F-18]FDG small animal Positron Emission Tommography (PET) as a functional neuroimaging technique in behavioural small animal study, researches showing the detection power of functional changes in the brain are still limited. Thus, in the study, we performed [F-18]FDG small animal PET neuroimaging in the well-established fear behavioural experiment. Twelve rats were exposed on cat for 30 minutes after the [F-18]FDG injection. As a result, the brain activity in bilateral amygdala areas significantly increased in the fear condition. In addition, the fear condition evoked the functional activities of hypothalamus, which seemed to be related to the response to stress. These clear localization of fear related brain regions may reflect that a functional neuroimaging technique using [F-18]FDG small animal PET has functional detectibility enough to be applied in small animal behavioral research.

This paper describes the relationship among physiological, behavioral signal, and subjective evaluation depending on arousal level. Nz and reaction time hall similar pattern with KSS level, but eyeblink rate was different from these two parameters. Eyeblink rate increased slowly from KSS level 1 to 5, and had high increasing rate at KSS 7. But it showed steep descent at KSS level 9. From the result of reaction time test, since human performance was decreased rapidly above the KSS level 5, it is desirable to give a subject some stimulus such as sound or aroma to rise arousal level above the KSS level 3.

In this study, estimation of behavioral characteristics between twin tunnels was performed through the series of laboratory experiment on the small scale tunnel model. In the model test, the experimental parameters were geological conditions, center to center distance between twin tunnels, application of discontinuous inclination. To estimated behavior of pillar and load-displacement relationship by model tests and numerical analyses.

A pedestrian UHPC cable-stayed bridge(Super Bridge I) of the KICT was completed as a test bed. A long-term monitoring system has been installed on the UHPC bridge in order to acquire all types of long-term data such as strain, acceleration, tension force, wind direction and speed, temperature, etc. This system will provide valuable database enabling to assess the long-term behavior of the UHPC pedestrian hybrid cable-stayed bridge. This database will be exploited for the evaluation of the mechanical characteristics and serviceability of the UHPC members so as to estimate the behavioral features of long-span hybrid cable stayed bridges.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurobehavioral developmental disorder characterized by a persistent pattern of inattention and/or hyperactivity, as well as forgetfulness, poor impulse control or impulsivity, and distractibility. The recommended evaluation includes documenting the type and severity of ADHD symptoms, verifying the presence of normal vision and hearing, screening for comorbid psychological conditions, reviewing the child's developmental history and school performance, and applying objective measures of cognitive function. Prevailing opinion characterizes ADHD as a disorder of executive function attributable to abnormal dopamine transmission in the frontal lobes and frontostriatal circuitry. A clearly defined etiology remains unknown, but studies suggest a strong genetic link. The aim of treatment is to decrease symptoms, enhance functionality, and improve well-being for the child and his or her close contacts. Stimulants remain the pharmacological agents of first choice for the management of ADHD, and psychosocial, behavioral and educational strategies that enhance specific behaviors may improve educational and social functioning in children with ADHD.

Appraisal format is the methods that is used to gether informations related to performance behaviors. Appraisal format has descriptive characteristics including evalustion dimensions, anchors, scales. The purpose of this paper is to study the effectiveness of a format characteristics of the appraisal results through literature review and to explore more approprate appraisal format through comparing three types of formats, graphic scales, BARS, BOS. According to the results, rating format's characteristics can affect the quality of appreisa results in that appraisal format can provide rators with evaluation standards which help raters to evaluate effectively. Specific dimensions are better than gernal one dimension. The effectiveness of scale in some degrees depends on development procedure. In general anchors are important to reduce rating errors and behavioral anchors are better than numeric anchors, The systematically developed BARS and BOS can reduce rating erros but graphic scales has limitstions.

Recently combining regimen of minimal doses of chloral hydrate, hydroxyzine and midazolam is good in sedation of children. Midazoalm, water soluble benzdiazepine, has rapid onset and relatively short duration of action. And midazolam has prospective amnesic effect. With these advantages midazolam is popular in conscious sedation for children. This study was to reveal the dose-dependency of behavior and physiologic effects of submucosal midazolam. Sedation records were surveyed retrospectively, of which the patients admitted from April, 2005 to July, 2007. we assigned three groups according the dose of midazolam, 0.1 mg/kg, 0.2 mg/kg and 0.3 mg/kg, respectively and the behavioral evaluation was analyzed with Houpt scale statistically. Combined submucosal midazolam increased the success rate in sedation and the vital signs were stable during sedation.

Hypothalamic hamartoma (HH) is a benign indolent lesion despite the presentation of refractory epilepsy. Behavioral disturbances and endocrine problems are additional critical symptoms that arise along with HHs. Due to its nature of generating epileptiform discharge and spreading to cortical region, various management strategies have been proposed and combined. Surgical approaches with open craniotomy or endoscopy, stereotactic approaches with radiosurgery and gamma knife surgery or radiofrequency thermos-coagulation, and laser ablation have been introduced. Topographical dimension and the surgeon's preference are key factors for treatment modalities. Endoscopic disconnection has been one of the most favorable options performed in treating HHs. Here we discuss presurgical evaluation, patient selection, surgical procedures, and complications.
