According to the authors, rationing the age-related EEG parameters in children should be based on personal psychical characteristics. A comparative analysis of personal psychical characteristics and electroencephalographic data was carried out in 300 apparently healthy children aged 3-15 years. According to this principle, two subgroups of conditionally healthy children in each age group were singled out: 1) with an immature attention function and 2) with an increased anxious background that do not reach the pathological level. Registration and analysis of EEG was performed by the Neurokariograf computer complex (MBN, Moscow) using mathematical processing methods.The EEG interpretation was based on the principle of assessing the functional state of a child's brain using a three-component model according to: 1) wakefulness level and its dissociation, 2) severity of signs of the EEG neurotic pattern, 3) directionality of formation of traits of the system-functional brain organization (severity of signs functional hypofrontality).lt was found the presence of EEG signs was indicative of a lower level of wakefulness in children with an immature function of attention in all age groups, compared with the indicators of the average population of group and children with an increased background of anxiety. Children with an increased background of anxiety have a tendency to prevalence and excessive spatial synchronization of the alpha rhythm. ln healthy children, the fact of a decrease in wakefulness and the presence of signs of anxiety in the clinic and in EEG patterns indicates individual personalities and should not be considered as pathology.

AbstractDisorders of emotion, communication, and learning in early childhood are considered in light of evidence on human brain growth from embryo stages. We cite microbehavioral evidence indicating that infants are born able to express the internal activity of their brains, including dynamic “motive states” that drive learning. Infant expressions stimulate the development of imitative and reciprocal relations with corresponding dynamic brain states of caregivers. The infant's mind must have an “innate self-with-other representation” of the inter-mind correspondence and reciprocity of feelings that can be generated with an adult.Primordial motive systems appear in subcortical and limbic systems of the embryo before the cerebral cortex. These are presumed to continue to guide the growth of a child's brain after birth. We propose that an “intrinsic motive formation” is assembled prenatally and is ready at birth to share emotion with caregivers for regulation of the child's cortical development, on which cultural cognition and learning depend.The intrinsic potentiality for “intersubjectivity” can be disorganized if the epigenetic program for the infant's brain fails. Indeed, many psychological disorders of childhood can be traced to faults in early stages of brain development when core motive systems form.

: Exposure in the womb to antiseizure medications and their potential impact on the developing child's brain has long been researched. Despite this long period of interest, this review highlights above the well-known risks associated with valproate exposure; more data is required for conclusions regarding all other antiseizure medications. Limited experience with phenytoin and phenobarbital in monotherapy clearly defines the risk to later child postnatal functioning difficult. However, the evidence of an impact is stronger for phenobarbital than for phenytoin. The widely prescribed lamotrigine is limited in its investigation compared to unexposed control children. It has been demonstrated to carry a lower risk than valproate for specific outcomes; whether associated with a more moderate impact on broader aspects of neurodevelopmental functioning is still to be understood. Data for levetiracetam, topiramate, and oxcarbazepine are too limited to conclude most neurodevelopmental outcomes confidently. This slow accumulation of evidence impacts the safest use of medications in pregnancy and makes counseling women regarding the risks and benefits of specific antiseizure drugs difficult. Improved focus, funding, and research methodologies are urgently needed.

It is generally assumed that the child's brain is more resistant to insults leading to death. Current guidelines for brain death, therefore, avoid application of these standards to young children.1 The determination of brain death in children, however, has become increasingly important, and different sets of new guidelines for children have been recently published.1-4 Especially, the recommendations of a special task force, consisting of representatives from neurologic organizations and the American Academy of Pediatrics, were published in five major journals.4 Those primary distinctions were three separate longer observation periods depending on the child's age and the necessity for two corroborating electroencephalograms (EEGs) or one EEG with a corroborating cerebral radionucleotide angiogram.

The introduction of calistung in AUD focuses on brain optimization of children. The child's brain has a trillion brain cells and trillions of brain-nerve cell connections. Brain nerves. influenced by the number of myelin that awakened at the age of 0-2 years which will determine the ability of abstract thinking, scientific thinking at the formal stage of operations. The backbone and cerebral cortex are the central nervous system for humans. the physical body of the child can be trained through mild exercise. Other parts of the brain in the form of cerebral cortex handle the functions of intellectual and language. Parents or nannies can provide stimulation as needed. The results suggest that children from families with high language intake received higher IQ scores at age three. So is the case with children who get more cognitive stimulation, they are more skilled in language activities. Age of AUD precisely began to learn to read if it has reached the mental age, ie 5-5.5 years.

ABSTRACT Background: Fulfilment of nutrition in the first 1000 days of life greatly affects the development of a child’s brain and body. If the nutritional intake is not fulfilled, the impact on children’s development will be permanent, one of which is stunting. This study aimed to compare the quality of antenatal care (ANC) by midwives in the stunting locus and not the stunting locus village. Subjects and Method: This was a comparative analytic with cross-sectional study conducted in stunting locus and not stunting locus village in Malang Regency from August-December 2019. A total of 84 midwives were enrolled in this study by purposive sampling. The data were collected by questionnaire. Data were analyzed using a multiple linear regression. Results: Quality of ANC in stunting locus and not stunting locus village were not showing good results. The most dominant influence on the quality of ANC midwives in the stunting locus was the length of work of the midwives. Meanwhile, the most dominant influence on the quality of ANC midwives in non-stunting locus was the latest education. Conclusion: Quality of ANC in stunting locus and not stunting locus village are not yet showing good results.

The findings in the clinical practice field indicate problems related to the inconsistency of parental participation in the therapy that the child undergoes, namely the absence of parents according to the schedule, non-adherence to the therapist's advice, and premature termination. It raises questions of parents' motivation to participate in their children's therapy while no research in Indonesia examines this topic. The current study aims to understand the description of parents' motivation to participate in their child therapy. This qualitative study was conducted by interviewing 3 mothers (age 23-36 years) whose children (age 3-5 years) undergo brain gym therapy at a psychology bureau in Bandung. They are from the same socioeconomic class, have joined the therapy program for at least one month, and were selected using the purposive sampling technique. The results indicate that the underlying motivation for parental participation in child therapy is parents' need for a change in the child's condition and parents' expectation of the therapeutic outcome. Therapy results that match expectations and positive responses from the environment act as reinforcers that make parents willing to continue participating in child therapy.

Febrile seizures is a disease that is quite common in infants. Half of the occurrence of febrile seizures occur recurrent febrile seizures, this occurs because the child's brain development is still not optimal enough in doing self-defense against the fever, resulting in the rise of febrile seizures. Parents often panic facing the event of febrile seizures. handling fever in children is very dependent on the parents. Level of knowledge of each different mother will lead to the management of fever in different children. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge of the mother about febrile seizures in children aged 6 mounth to 5 years in Puskesmas Kampar East Kampar District in 2018. this research use accidental sampling sampling technique and data collection is done by questioner. The research was conducted on 30 May - 9 June 2018 at Puskesmas Kampar East Kampar District. Sample was 50 respondents with univariate data analysis. The results of this study indicate that the mother's knowledge level is less with the number of 36 people (72%). It is hoped for the Puskesmas to be able to make extantion program about things related to febrile definition dan febrile seizures. And for the mother around Puskesmas Kampar East Kampar District is expected to be more open to new information and more accepting suggestion from nurse and medical officer that exist, especially about information that is important and useful for family health. Key Word          : Level knowledge of mother, Febrile seizures
