New content includes 12 new epilepsy chapters, 5 new cerebrovascular chapters, and 13 new neurooncology chapters, as well as new chapters on neuroimmunology and neuromuscular disorders, as well as chapters focused on clinical care (e.g., Counseling Families, Practice Guidelines, Transitional Care, Personalized Medicine, Special Educational Law, Outcome Measurements, Neurorehabilitation, Impact of Computer Resources, and Training Issues).

Additional new chapters cover topics related to the developmental connectome, stem cell transplantation, and cellular and animal models of neurological disease.

Greatly expanded sections to increase your knowledge of perinatal acquired and congenital disorders, neurodevelopmental disabilities, pediatric epilepsy, and nonepileptiform paroxysmal disorders and disorders of sleep.

Coverage of new, emerging, or controversial topics includes developmental encephalopathies, non-verbal learning disorders, and the pharmacologicaland future genetic treatment of neurodevelopmental disabilities.

Rezensionen

"We would recommend that this book should be available in all Pediatrics wards ... this vade mecum will be a present help in time of trouble when clinical decisions are difficult in the management of neurological disorders in childhood. It is highly recommended."

"It is a delightful presentation of fundamentals that a student of pediatric neurology needs to know before they start"
