Who is a Pediatric Neurologist?

Pediatric Neurologists, also known as child neurologists, deal with the diagnosis and management of neurological conditions in newborns, infants, children, and adolescents. One can experience headaches, seizures, multiple sclerosis, or developmental delays because of these problems.

The brain is quite a fascinating organ and there is so much happening inside of it that we have not been able to decipher in its entirety. The nervous system keeps things going for the human body.

From seeing things as they are to interpreting them, from breathing to walking to decision making, everything is credited to the nervous system i.e., the brain, spine, cord, sensory organs, and all the nerves in your body. A little glitch in the system can therefore affect the entire body.
