This session offers a foundational overview of functional neurology, focusing on how different regions of the brain are functionally connected through neural networks. Participants will explore the concept of neuroplasticity and learn how to assess and optimize brain function to improve patient health. We will discuss the factors that reduce brain integrity and efficiency, and how targeted interventions can help restore neurological function.

The presentation covers the assessment of three key brain regions, providing clinicians with practical knowledge to implement in practice. In longer course formats, hands-on activities will be included to build confidence and proficiency in evaluation procedures, enabling participants to immediately apply these techniques in their clinical settings.

Ideal for healthcare providers and practitioners, this presentation bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, making functional neurology accessible and actionable in everyday practice.
