[Aim]
Neurophysiological approach, such as EEG, ERP, fMRI, MRS, SPECT and NIRS, is useful and non-invasive way to investigate the brain function and the pathological mechanisms of neurological diseases/disorders. In this seminar, we will talk about the association between neurophysiological findings and brain functions in epilepsy, developmental disorders and other neurological diseases under the sub-theme as follows: 1) EEG for diagnosis of child epilepsies; 2) NIRS, proton MRS, SPECT, EEG for diagnosis of child autism; 3) EEG for investigation of brain functions in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; 4) VEP, NIRS, fMRI for investigation of brain functions in children with developmental dyslexia; 5) Evoked potentials for investigation of brain functions in children with cerebral palsy. We hope that this seminar will help young neuropediatric clinicians and researchers for their future works.
