The Section of Neurology is one of the area's leading providers of comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic programs for acute and chronic disorders of the central and peripheral nervous systems. Programs respond to the individual medical and psychological needs of children with conditions including:

• epilepsy and other seizure disorders
• tics and other movement disorders
• neonatal neurology (neonatal seizures, perinatal asphyxia)
• neurometabolic and neurogenetic diseases
• migraine and other chronic headaches
• spasticity in conditions such as cerebral palsy
• muscular dystrophy and other neuromuscular disorders
• mental retardation, attention deficit hyperactivity (ADHD) and other learning disabilities
• brain tumors
• HIV infection

The Section is constantly seeking ways to reduce the suffering of children. For example, one of the most convenient and innovative ways to diagnose epilepsy is through at-home, 24-hour EEG monitoring devices. This technique enables children to be monitored for seizures at home while sleeping, which may reduce the need for hospital visits.

Special programs of the Section include the Epilepsy Center, a Myopathy Program, an HIV Program, a PKU Program, and the Barnett Center for Mitochondrial Disorders.
