Clinical Application of Eye Movements 1 & 2
Eye movement analysis is one of the most sensitive indicators of brain function-yet it's often underutilized. This two-course series trains you to detect, interpret, and treat subtle oculomotor dysfunction with precision, improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.

BTSP: The Discovery of Instantaneous Neuroplasticity
For a century, neuroscience taught that plasticity meant slow yielding under repeated pressure. A new discovery says otherwise. Behavioral timescale synaptic plasticity — BTSP — shows that the brain can rewire itself in a single moment when two specific signals converge in the right network. Here's the science, and why it offers a long-overdue explanation for what skilled functional neurology providers have been observing in the clinic for decades.

The NERD Model: Why Some Concussion Patients Get Stuck
Why don't some concussion patients get better? They’re literally stuck. The NERD model reveals how maladaptive neural loops trap recovery and how clinicians can break the cycle.

You're Being Rewired by the World’s Most Popular Recreational Drug—and It’s Not What You Think
Think you know caffeine? Wait until you uncover what it's really doing to your striatum, your thalamus, your sleep pressure system, and even your cholinergic memory circuits. The truth is more complex—and more important—than you've ever been told.
