CME Seminar: Everything You Need to Know About Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome in 2026
2026-03-31 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Chicago)
Join us on Tuesday, March 31, at 6:00 p.m. CT for an engaging CNS seminar focused on Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), a severe developmental and epileptic encephalopathy that arises in childhood and can result from a range of underlying causes. Despite its diverse etiologies, LGS is defined by a characteristic combination of features: multiple seizure types, distinctive EEG findings, and intellectual disability. The session will review updated diagnostic criteria to support confident diagnosis and explore the pathogenesis of LGS as a secondary network disorder.
Hear from leading experts as they outline a practical roadmap for treatment, including options for clinicians who are not epileptologists, while integrating the lived experiences of children with LGS and their families.

CME Seminar: Insights from Lesion Locations & Networks for Pediatric Neurology
2026-04-14 18:00 - 19:30 (America/Chicago)
Join us on Tuesday, April 14, at 6:00 p.m. CT for an engaging CNS seminar focused on an overview of lesion mapping techniques tailored to child neurology. Lesion Symptom Mapping and Lesion Network Mapping are emerging, high-impact tools for understanding brain–behavior relationships by correlating focal lesions with specific clinical outcomes. In pediatric populations, where developmental trajectories and neuroplasticity can significantly affect disease presentation, lesion mapping offers unique insights that can guide both diagnosis and treatment.
By attending, clinicians and researchers will gain practical knowledge for integrating lesion mapping results into new precision medicine therapies and complementary research plans.
Speakers:Alexander Li Cohen, MD, PhD, FAAN Rose Gelineau-Morel, MD Aaron Boes, MD, PhD

CNS Webinar: Starting Your Path Towards Child Neurology
2026-04-29 19:00 - 20:30 (America/Chicago)
Join us on Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at 7 pm CT for an engaging CNS webinar focused on Starting Your Path Towards Child Neurology. This webinar guides medical students who are interested in a career in child neurology as they prepare for the upcoming residency recruitment season. Junior medical students with an early interest in child neurology may also find the webinar helpful to get a head start. In a breakout-room format, program directors, child neurology residents, and recently matched medical students will discuss important considerations when deciding to pursue child neurology and provide guidance on the path to child neurology residency. In a live Q&A, speakers will answer questions that prospective applicants to child neurology might have as they make their pivotal career choice.

CNS Seminar: Social Determinants of Health in Pediatric Neuroimmunology
2026-05-28 15:00 - 16:30 (America/Chicago)
Join us on Thursday, May 28, 2026, at 3 pm CT for an engaging CNS seminar focused on Social Determinants of Health in Pediatric Neuroimmunology. In this seminar, four child neurologists will describe cutting-edge research advances evaluating social determinants of health in three of the most recognized pediatric acquired demyelinating disorders: pediatric-onset multiple sclerosis (POMS), myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-associated disease (MOGAD), and neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD).
By attending this educational session, participants will be able to describe social determinants of health variables that contribute to the inequitable clinical recognition, diagnosis, disease course, treatment strategies, and outcomes in pediatric demyelinating conditions, and identify opportunities for interventions aimed at reducing health disparities among minorities and other vulnerable populations across all children affected by pediatric demyelinating diseases.
