In this episode of The CortiCare Podcast, host Bradley Beauchamp is joined by Dr. Mitzi Payne, pediatric neurologist, to discuss the fundamentals of EEG in newborn care and her book, Neonatal EEG: A Clinical Guidebook. Dr. Payne shares her approach to simplifying neonatal EEG, making it more accessible for clinicians, technicians, and care teams who rely on it to support diagnosis and patient management. The conversation walks through how EEG is used in evaluating seizures, understanding brain development, and guiding care decisions in the NICU. In this episode:• The role of EEG in neonatal neurology• How brain maturation impacts EEG interpretation• Differentiating normal vs. abnormal neonatal activity• Using EEG to evaluate seizures and abnormal movements• Why education and accessibility matter in EEG training This episode is a helpful resource for anyone looking to build a stronger foundation in neonatal EEG and its role in patient care.👉 Subscribe to The CortiCare Podcast for more conversations on clinical expertise, innovation, and the future of brain health.
