The paper presents a comparative analysis of frequency, spatial-temporal parameters and three-dimensional localization of EEG sources that characterize changes of cortical-subcortical interactions processes in autumn and spring periods at northern schoolchildren living in satisfactory and disadvantaged (risk group) conditions of the social (family) environment. Seasonal rearrangement of interaction between wave components of main EEG rhythms was revealed. School students present regressive changes in the EEG pattern temporal organization in spring compared to autumn, and this effect was more expressed at adolescents from group of risk. Data EEDS-tomography showed increased activity in the prefrontal, cingular and subcallosal areas of the cortex in the autumn period that could be related to the mechanisms of season depression caused by the significant reduction of the day length in the North. The increased activity of the limbic system structures which is persisted in the spring in adolescents from risk group narrows the range of regulation of adaptive reactions. Unfavorable conditions of the family environment are an additional stress factor to increased load on the regulatory mechanisms that have a negative impact on the emotional-motivation behavior of children and adolescents, thus increasing the risk of the school and of social disadaptation.
