Neurodevelopmental assessment in neonates often involves a combination of clinical evaluations and diagnostic tools:
- Neurological Examination: Checking reflexes, muscle tone, and motor skills. - Brain Imaging: Techniques like MRI and ultrasound can reveal structural abnormalities. - Electroencephalography (EEG): Used to monitor brain activity, especially in cases of suspected seizures. - Developmental Screening Tools: Standardized tests that evaluate cognitive, motor, and social skills.
