Outcomes

  • Discuss brain development in neonates, techniques for recording neonatal EEGs and distinguish between normal and abnormal patterns.
  • Cover brain development from infancy to adolescence, techniques for recording pediatric EEGs, and recognizing normal and abnormal patterns. Highlights clinical uses for diagnosing conditions like epilepsy and managing challenges unique to pediatric populations.
  • Discuss the development of sleep-wake cycle, monitoring the EEG in neonatal and pediatric populations, and differential diagnosis based on polysomnographic variables.
