Elsevier Pediatric Neurology, Part I: Volume 111 Handbook

Understanding the developing nervous system is essential for medical professionals. Pediatric Neurology, Part I: Volume 111 provides a specialized look into the unique biological requirements of children. Unlike adults, children express specific abilities at every age to optimize their development and adaptation to their surroundings. This volume addresses the complexities of pediatric neurology, covering a wide range of issues from brain function to striated muscle health. Because the generation and functioning of these systems require a significant portion of the genome and mitochondrial genes, specialized knowledge is necessary for effective care. This text explores how the human nervous system responds to prenatal factors and the specific challenges presented by an immature system at birth. It serves as a dedicated resource for those studying the neurological development and medical needs of pediatric patients.
