Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) – episodic failure of behavioural control – create a heterogeneous group of diseases. There is no common approach in the diagnostics of mentioned diseases. The absence of the common diagnostic approach contributes to a significant delay in the diagnostic process,often up to 7  years. Very important part of this process is neuroimaging. There are quite inhomogenous results in up to date literature review whether in context of morphology or function. The main aim of the presented paper is a review of specific cases in neuroimaging context to collect data for further research. For the review the authorsintroduce2...

A stress profile is a result of psychophysiological activity measurements of the patient during the mental strain situations, which are mostly induced by various test situations. From the physiological variables heart rate, skin conductance, blood volume pulse, respiration rate, temperature and EMG are usually measured. This gives us an objective view of how the patient responds to stress situations. The stress profile then serves to educate the patient: we can clearly explain how his/her body responds to stress and at the same time it provides us with an objective measure of how the patient’s therapy progresses. The main advantage of the stress...
