Clinical Neurophysiology of Infancy,
Childhood, and Adolescence.
By Gregory L. Holmes, M.D.,
professor of medicine at DMS; et
al. Elsevier; 2006. Much of clinical
neurophysiology is based on
studies of adults; though many of
the field's techniques can be
modified for children, this textbook
focuses
on neurophysiologic
testing
specifically for
children. It describes
unique
age-specific
patterns as well
as testing for seizures, toxic and
degenerative diseases, head trauma,
spinal muscular atrophies,
and many other conditions.
