Stroke in newborns and young children causes lifelong disability for millions. As a focal injury of defined timing in a healthy brain, stroke represents an ideal human model of developmental plasticity. By contrasting divergent motor, language, and neurocognitive outcomes and combining with advanced neuroimaging and brain mapping technologies, we are starting to understand the mechanisms underlying this plasticity. One result is the identification of key brain targets where therapeutic non-invasive neuromodulation strategies are being realized.
After the webinar, participants will be able to:
- Define the specific types of perinatal and childhood stroke.
- Contrast the effects of timing of stroke on varying motor, language, and cognitive outcomes.
- Describe how advanced neuroimaging and brain mapping are informing personalized models of how the brain develops after stroke early in life.
- Discuss the potential of emerging neuro technologies to enhance function, participation, and quality of life for children disabled by stroke.
Target Audience: Anyone interested in the brain, pediatrics, and developmental clinical neuroscience.
Instructional level: Introductory to advanced
