Pediatric Brain & Nerve Center

The brain and spinal cord make up the central nervous system (CNS). Nerves branch off the CNS to the rest of the body (peripheral nervous system), controlling all motor and sensory functions. Conditions affecting infants and children related to the brain and nerves include seizures, cerebral palsy, cystic fibrosis and muscular dystrophy.
