Course Description
Cognitive performance depends on the coordinated activity of multiple neural systems working together efficiently. In this session, Matthew Antonucci introduces the concept of neuro-intelligence—a framework for understanding how the structure and integration of brain networks influence cognitive capacity and adaptability. The lecture examines how communication between cortical and subcortical systems supports attention, learning, memory, and executive function. Participants will explore how variations in neural connectivity and metabolic support can influence how efficiently the brain processes information. By examining these constructs, clinicians gain insight into how neurological function relates to cognitive performance and behavioral output. This session encourages practitioners to view cognition through a systems-based neurological perspective, offering a deeper appreciation of how brain networks contribute to both optimal performance and neurological dysfunction.
