Subthreshold potentials are electric fields that arise in human tissues and organs during various diseases. They can be caused by various factors such as infections, tumors, trauma and other pathological processes.
Subthreshold potentials can be detected using electroencephalography (EEG), a method for studying the electrical signals of the brain. An EEG can detect changes in brain function that may indicate the presence of a disease.
One of the most common diseases associated with subthreshold potentials is epilepsy. Epilepsy is a disease in which electrical discharges occur in the brain, causing seizures and other symptoms. Subthreshold potentials can be one of the signs of epilepsy and help in diagnosing this disease.
Subthreshold potentials can also occur in other diseases, such as brain tumors, trauma, strokes, etc. They can help in diagnosing these diseases and assessing their severity.
In general, subthreshold potentials are an important tool in the diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. They provide additional information about brain function and human health.
