Pediatric Neurobiology

Pediatric neurobiology is the study of how the brain and nervous system develop and function in children. It explores the biological processes influencing cognitive, emotional, and behavioral development from infancy through adolescence. Understanding pediatric neurobiology helps identify normal brain development, as well as conditions like autism, ADHD, or learning disabilities. Researchers and clinicians use this knowledge to improve diagnoses, treatments, and interventions, aiming to support healthier brain development and optimal outcomes in children's overall well-being.
