Course Description
Evaluating cognitive performance is a fundamental component of neurological assessment. In this session, Matthew Antonucci examines how clinicians working in functional neurology practices can assess cognitive function and interpret findings within a neurological framework. The lecture reviews key cognitive domains—including attention, memory, executive function, and processing speed—and explains how these functions depend on coordinated activity across multiple brain networks. Participants will explore practical clinical tools used to evaluate cognitive performance and identify patterns that may indicate neurological inefficiencies or dysfunction. By integrating cognitive testing into neurological examinations, practitioners can gain deeper insight into how brain function influences behavior, learning, and daily performance. This course provides a practical perspective on using cognitive assessments to improve diagnostic accuracy and guide patient-centered neurological care.
What you’ll learn:
- Understand key cognitive domains evaluated in neurological assessment.
- Recognize how brain networks support cognitive processing.
- Identify tools used to measure cognitive performance in clinical practice.
- Interpret cognitive deficits within a neurological framework.
- Apply cognitive assessment findings to guide patient care strategies.
