Pediatric Days – Neurology
Neurological development in children is complex. Two topics will be covered in this session. Stroke prevention in children with sickle cell disease, followed by a session on a neurobiological approach to better understand the mathematical function in children using MRI.
Preventing strokes in children with sickle cell disease is crucial for averting cognitive impairments and ensuring optimal neurodevelopment.
State-of-the-art research utilising MRI provides invaluable insights into the complex workings of the human brain. By examining brain structure, activity patterns, and connectivity, researchers can uncover fundamental mechanisms underlying cognitive processes, emotional regulation, and neurological disorders.
This educational talk offers 1 CPD credit.
