Developing the brain – a proposal to pediatricians

What we should do as pediatric neurologists to solve educational problems may be not only to find symptomatic solutions but also to drastically re-evaluate ‘the view of children’. Brain science, rapidly advancing at present, gives us some new scientific achievements, such as neuronal cell death, synaptic overproduction/elimination, sensitive period, higher cortical function of neonates, and neural correlates, useful for this re-evaluation. From this aspect, I have made a proposal for the establishment of new developmental neurology
