Course Description
CNS Module 6 provides clinicians with an in-depth understanding of neuroinflammatory and neurodegenerative mechanisms, highlighting their role in modern neurological and cognitive health disorders. This comprehensive module covers both foundational and cutting-edge concepts such as autophagy, mitophagy, and the immune system’s influence on neurodegeneration.
Attendees will explore the clinical presentation, diagnostics, and management strategies for conditions such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and frontotemporal dementia. The course also includes an applied overview of therapeutic interventions like diet, supplementation, and lifestyle modifications targeted at reducing neuroinflammation and supporting healthy brain aging.
What you’ll learn:
- Explain key cellular processes such as autophagy, mitophagy, apoptosis, and necrosis in relation to neurodegeneration.
- Identify the pathophysiology and clinical presentation of neuroinflammatory conditions including Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and dementia.
- Utilize diagnostic frameworks for evaluating patients with TBI and neurodegenerative risk factors.
- Apply evidence-based interventions to modulate neuroinflammation and support cognitive function, including diet, fasting, exercise, and supplementation.
- Analyze the gut-brain connection, immune system dysfunction, and mitochondrial health in the context of brain aging.
- Distinguish between body-first and brain-first Parkinson’s disease subtypes and their respective risk factors.
- Incorporate cognitive screening tools such as MOCA and SAGE into clinical evaluations.
- Discuss strategies for neuroprotection, neuroplasticity, and functional longevity through clinical neuroscience.
