A New Clinic, Cool Research & Our Nervous System
What is neurofibromatosis? On this month’s episode of Your Child’s Brain, Dr. Brad Schlaggar talks with neurologists Dr. Stephanie Morris and Dr. Jaishri Blakeley about this rare disease which affects about 1 in 2,500 individuals. They discuss what neurofibromatosis is, how it affects the body, and the ways it’s being treated at a new Kennedy Krieger clinic for pediatric patients, an extension of a world-class neurofibromatosis center at Johns Hopkins Medicine.
