Development of the nervous system in the first year of a child's life.

The central nervous system makes a phenomenal leap in the first 12 months of a baby's life. No other year will see as many changes in development. Each month, the baby acquires more skills essential for future life, and a lot during this time relies on the mother. Dr. Margarita Pavlovna Yakenko, a neurologist and candidate of medical sciences, will discuss the development of the nervous system from birth to one year, the closure of the small and large fontanelles, and how to assess a child's cognitive development.
