The brain of a child is unique; it is not simply a small version of the adult brain. During infancy and childhood, more than a billion brain cells develop into highly specialized integrated networks, a critical process that shapes learning and acquisition of skills. This process is very complex, making the developing brain particularly vulnerable to neurological disorders. Unfortunately, brain disorders in children are very common and the number of children affected is on the rise nationwide.
The Nicklaus Children's Brain Institute was created to meet this growing challenge, assembling a world-renowned team to offer hope and healing to families caring for a child with a brain disorder. Together, these specialists balance safety and efficacy to achieve the best possible outcomes and quality of life for children with neurological conditions.
The Brain Institute offers comprehensive programs and services focused on various multidisciplinary specialties.
The Division of Pediatric Neurology provides comprehensive diagnosis, evaluation and treatment of a wide range of neurological disorders in children at the hospital's main campus and selected outpatient facilities throughout South Florida.
The Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Nicklaus Children's Hospital is the largest pediatric neurosurgical service in Florida and one of the most recognized programs in the country.
Nicklaus Children's Hospital Comprehensive Epilepsy Center is accredited by the NAEC as a Level 4 epilepsy center. Level 4 epilepsy centers have the professional expertise and facilities to provide the highest-level medical and surgical evaluation and treatment for patients with complex epilepsy.
Founded in 2001, Nicklaus Children’s Hospital’s Brain Institute is the nation’s first comprehensive medical program dedicated solely to the care of the developing brain. It brings together world-renowned specialists in numerous pediatric neuroscience subspecialties with cumulative clinical experience unparalleled in the United States. The team fosters integrated research and offers the latest in assessment and treatment for children with disorders of the brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves. This leadership and commitment to developing new treatments draws children and families from around the world in search of answers to complex medical questions. Many of the program’s greatest successes are children who could not be helped at other centers. Since 2008, the program has been ranked among the nation’s top-tier programs for pediatric neurology and neurosurgery by U.S. News & World Report. The clinical and research leadership of the program serves as a beacon to families confronting the uncertainty of a child with a brain disorder, offering the latest treatments and assessment techniques, many of which were developed by the Brain Institute team.
