In this crucial session of FxN University, Dr. David E. Kemp explores the complex neurophysiology of neurodegenerative conditions that affect millions of families worldwide. Rather than viewing Dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease merely through an irreversible lens, this class investigates the functional networks, metabolic stressors, and neural pathways underlying cognitive and motor decline—and how targeted receptor-based stimulation can support brain resilience.

What You Will Learn

• Mapping Cognitive & Basal Ganglia Networks:

  Gain a clear understanding of the neuroanatomy involved—from hippocampal and cortical connectivity in Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia to direct/indirect basal ganglia pathways and dopamine modulation in Parkinson’s disease.

• Diagnostic Windows into Function:

  Discover how functional neurologists utilize eye movement tracking (VNG/videonystagmography), dual-task processing, and vestibular-proprioceptive assessments to detect early circuit breakdown and localize metabolic fatigue.
