Over the past 20 years, doctors have gotten much better at spotting and treating brain conditions caused by the immune system attacking the body. These include illnesses like autoimmune encephalitis, ADEM, and multiple sclerosis. But even with better treatments, many patients-especially children-still struggle with long-term problems. Standard brain scans and tests often miss important issues like memory problems, emotional difficulties, trouble sleeping, and challenges with social behaviour. Early research using a special brain imaging technique (called MEG) has shown changes in brain networks that seem to be linked to poor memory. This study will use a new, advanced version of MEG that works even with very young children (as young as 2 years old). The goal is to better understand how these brain conditions affect children, compare them with other types of brain illness, and eventually
