Neurochemistry & The Endocrine System
Complex patients rarely fit a single-organ explanation. When the hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal cortex, thyroid, and pancreas interact with immune function and brain chemistry, the clinician without an integrated neuroendocrine framework is left guessing. That gap costs patients.
This 15-credit course with Dr. David Clark gives you the integrated framework to stop guessing. You will understand how the HPA, HPT, and HPG axes regulate fuel, mood, metabolism, and immune tolerance. You will learn to recognize cortisol dysregulation, thyroid conversion patterns, and glucose handling failures at the level of clinical presentation and laboratory interpretation. From Cushing's syndrome to Hashimoto's, from adrenal insufficiency to diabetic neuropathy, you gain the clinical map that connects neuroendocrine dysfunction to the patients in your practice. This is not pathophysiology for its own sake. It is the foundation of more precise, more effective, and more confident clinical care.
Principles of Neuroradiology
This 15-hour course introduces clinicians to the technical and clinical principles of neuroradiology. Participants will learn how to interpret key imaging modalities—including MRI, CT, PET, MRA, and SPECT—with a focus on neurological anatomy and pathology. Topics include understanding T1 and T2 signal intensities, contrast use, and identifying brain abnormalities such as tumors, infarcts, MS, and neurodegenerative diseases. The course also covers functional imaging, vascular studies, and best practices for selecting and interpreting diagnostic scans.

Examination & Rehabilitation In Functional Neurology
Complex neurological presentations demand more than pattern recognition. When patients arrive with overlapping vestibular, autonomic, cerebellar, and cranial nerve findings, the clinician who can systematically localize dysfunction and map it to a targeted rehabilitation strategy becomes the practitioner others cannot replicate.
This 25-hour course builds that capability from the ground up. Dr. Matthew Antonucci guides licensed clinicians through the complete neurological examination, covering history-based localization, ionic and metabolic screening, cranial nerve testing, oculomotor and vestibular assessment, and lobar dysfunction evaluation. Rehabilitation principles spanning BPPV maneuver selection, vestibular adaptation, saccadic training, convergence therapy, frontal and parietal lobe rehab, and electroneural modulation translate every diagnostic finding into actionable clinical strategy.
Board Review
The clinical complexity of neurological presentations continues to outpace the frameworks most clinicians were trained with. Patients with overlapping peripheral, autonomic, and central findings frequently remain unresolved within conventional diagnostic models, not because the answers do not exist, but because the clinical map is incomplete.
This course closes that gap. Across 25 CE hours, Dr. Matthew Antonucci guides clinicians through the full functional neurology board review curriculum, from the embryological foundations of neural development and the biophysics of membrane potentials to advanced clinical syndromes involving the brainstem, cerebellum, vestibular system, basal ganglia, and cranial nerves. Entrapment neuropathies, myopathies, autonomic disorders, pain neuroscience, and headache mechanisms are examined with the depth required for board-level mastery and the clinical precision required for real-world application.

Courses
Function & Structure of the Cerebrum
Complex neurological cases rarely fail because of a single lesion. They fail because the clinician is working without a complete map. When cognition, emotion, movement, and perception break down together, the clinical picture only resolves when you understand the architecture underneath it.
This course delivers that architecture. Spanning the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, insular, and cingulate cortices, you will build a working model of how large-scale brain networks generate behavior, regulate attention, coordinate movement, and fail in predictable patterns. You will leave with a systematic examination approach and a set of rehabilitative strategies grounded directly in cortical and network-level neuroscience.
Neurophysiology of Cardiorespiratory & Gastric Reproductive Systems
Cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, and urogenital systems do not operate independently of the brain. For clinicians managing complex, multi-system presentations, the gap between structural diagnosis and functional understanding often determines outcomes.
This 25-hour course bridges that gap. Clinicians gain working command of cardiac electrophysiology, ECG interpretation, autonomic neuromodulation, visceral pain pathways, and brain-gut dynamics. From AFib to POTS to nocturnal enuresis, every system is mapped through its neurological architecture, giving you the clinical reasoning framework to assess and influence regulation at its source.
Pain & Head/Facial Pain
Patients with chronic pain, migraines, facial neuralgias, and complex headache disorders deserve more than symptom management. Yet the neuroscience underlying these conditions moves faster than most clinical training can keep pace with.
This 25-hour functional neurology course closes that gap. You will build a clinically integrated command of pain processing from peripheral sensitization to cortical reorganization, master the diagnostic and classification frameworks that define modern headache medicine, and develop confident treatment reasoning across neuromodulation, manual therapy, and multimodal care. Designed for the clinician who already thinks in systems.
Neurology of Movement
Movement disorders remain among the most diagnostically demanding presentations in clinical practice. Gaps in understanding the underlying neural circuitry leave clinicians without the mechanistic framework needed to interpret what they are observing, localize dysfunction, and design targeted interventions.
This course closes that gap. Clinicians gain a rigorous, systems-level understanding of the motor control hierarchy, basal ganglia circuitry, cerebellar interplay, and the full clinical spectrum from hypokinetic to hyperkinetic presentations. Assessment frameworks, timing neuroscience, functional movement disorders, and emerging rehabilitation strategies are integrated throughout, giving clinicians the clinical depth to transform complex movement presentations into tractable problems.

Foundations of Functional Neurology
You cannot be good at something you do not understand. Most clinicians who struggle with complex neurological cases are not short of techniques. They are short of a working model of the system those techniques act on, so their reasoning becomes a matter of matching a therapy to a symptom.
This course builds that model from the ground up. It opens with a sealed box that you have to work out without opening, because that is the position every clinician is in with every patient: the nervous system cannot be opened, and everything known about it comes from what goes in and what comes back. From there the course teaches the simple version first (input, integration, output, and the output returning as the next input), then the history of how that model was worked out, and then the detail behind it: the neuron, every class of receptor, the five functional nodes of the network, the effectors, and how behavior closes the loop and remodels the system. You leave able to observe properly, reason about which part of the network is driving what you see, write a prediction before you act, and revise when the prediction fails.
The Peripheral Nervous System & Spinal Cord
Clinicians working with complex neuromusculoskeletal cases often encounter patients whose presentations don't resolve because the lesion hasn't been precisely located. When a patient's symptoms cross dermatomal boundaries, resist standard treatment, or involve both sensory and motor findings simultaneously, the gap isn't in effort. It's in neurological precision.
CNS-02 closes that gap. This course builds a complete working model of the peripheral nervous system and spinal cord, from receptor transduction and afferent fiber classification through spinal cord tract anatomy, dorsal horn physiology, and descending motor pathways. Clinicians leave with a systematic framework to localize any finding to its station on the neuraxis: receptor, nerve, plexus, cord, or brain, and translate that localization into a targeted, defensible clinical plan.

Courses
Cranial Nerves & The Ocular Motor System
Complex neurological cases often reveal how much the cranial nerve and ocular motor examination is undertaught in clinical training. When a patient presents with diplopia, facial asymmetry, swallowing dysfunction, or unexplained dizziness, the ability to localize the lesion with precision separates a thorough clinician from an exceptional one. Yet many practitioners leave training without a systematic, integrated framework for applying this knowledge at the bedside.
This course closes that gap. You will build a complete, clinically actionable command of all 12 cranial nerves and the ocular motor system, including functional neuroanatomy, reflex pathways, lesion patterns, and brainstem syndromes. From olfactory pathway dysfunction to internuclear ophthalmoplegia to Wallenberg syndrome, every concept is taught with clinical integration, practical exam technique, and board-level precision across 25 CE credit hours of expert instruction.
Autonomic Nervous System & Intracranial Vascular Disorders
Patients with dysautonomia, orthostatic intolerance, and post-injury neurologic symptoms rarely present in tidy categories. Their symptoms cross organ systems, resist routine workups, and confound clinicians who lack a functional map of the autonomic network.
CNS-04 provides that map. Over 25 credit hours, clinicians move through the complete anatomy and physiology of the central autonomic network, intracranial vascular anatomy, neurovascular physiology, and the bedside and laboratory examinations that transform a list of symptoms into a localized, actionable clinical picture. From pupillometry and orthostatic testing to brainstem vascular localization and autonomic rehabilitation dosing, every module is designed to build usable clinical capability grounded in current neuroscience.
The Cerebellum & Vestibular System
Complex vestibular and cerebellar cases are among the most diagnostically demanding presentations in practice. The overlap between peripheral and central dysfunction, the subtlety of gaze abnormalities, and the breadth of cerebellar influence across motor, cognitive, autonomic, and emotional domains expose gaps between prior training and what patients actually need.
This course addresses that directly. It delivers a rigorous clinical framework covering cerebellar anatomy and circuitry, vestibular system physiology, ocular motor assessment, ataxia and dizziness differential diagnosis, BPPV canal mechanics and repositioning maneuvers, velocity storage, and evidence-based vestibular rehabilitation. Clinicians leave with sharper diagnostic reasoning, an expanded treatment toolkit, and the confidence to manage cases that once required referral.
