Functional Neurology is an innovative, patient-centered approach to healthcare that focuses on optimizing brain function through personalized, non-invasive therapies. By examining how different parts of the brain interact and identifying areas of dysfunction, Functional Neurology helps individuals manage and even reverse symptoms associated with various chronic conditions. Below, we’ll explore how this powerful method is […]

Microglia: The Key to Neuroinflammation, Depression and Cognitive Decline
Understanding Microglia: The Brain’s Immune Guardians Microglia are the primary immune cells of the central nervous system (CNS). They constantly monitor the brain for pathogens, toxins, and damaged cells. While they play a vital role in protecting neural function, chronic activation of microglia can contribute to neuroinflammation, mood disorders, and cognitive decline. Microglia & Neuroinflammation […]
OTOLITHS: A POWERFUL BRAIN RECEPTOR
Otoliths are among the most powerful sensory receptors in the brain for certain types of information, particularly regarding gravity and linear acceleration, but whether they are the “most powerful” overall depends on the context and the sensory system being considered. Why Otoliths Are Powerful: Direct Connection to Primitive Brain Centers: The vestibular system, including the […]
NEUROFEEDBACK THERAPY FOR BRAIN ENHANCEMENT
Neurofeedback has been increasingly explored as a potential therapeutic tool for various neurological conditions, including concussion, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and dementia. Here’s an overview of the current evidence and studies on the use of neurofeedback for these conditions: Concussion and Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI) Concussions and mTBI are forms of brain injuries […]
NEUROFEEDBACK BENEFITS
Neurofeedback is a form of therapy that uses real-time feedback to train individuals to modify their brainwave activity. It has been used to treat a variety of conditions. Here are five conditions that neurofeedback has been shown to be helpful for: Anxiety disorders: A study published in the Journal of Clinical Psychology found that neurofeedback […]
Mal de Debarquement Syndrome
Mal de Barquement Syndrome is a neurological condition that typically develops after prolonged exposure to passive motion, such as on a boat, airplane, or train. It is characterized by a persistent sensation of rocking, swaying, or even bobbing long after the motion has stopped. This occurs due to a mismatch or a conflict among the […]
