    The delta brush, a well‐known characteristic waveform of the human preterm electroencephalogram, represents spontaneous electrical activity. Recent experimental animal model evidence suggests that delta brushes are not only spontaneous intrinsic activity but are also evoked by external sensory stimulation or spontaneous movement. They are also likely to reflect the activity of subplate neurons, which play an important role in early brain development and network organization. Here, evidence about delta brushes in human preterm electroencephalogram is provided along with future perspectives.
