Course Overview
This course provides a comprehensive exploration of cognitive dysfunction, examining its clinical presentation in detail. Participants will explore the 15 aspects of executive functioning. Moreover, the roles of key brain regions such as the prefrontal cortex, parietal lobes, temporal lobes, and cerebellum in learning and cognition will be elucidated, offering insights into the neural underpinnings of cognitive function.
Participants will gain insights into the utility of neurocognitive testing as a valuable tool for tracking healing and changes in cognitive function. Through functional examination, the course will spotlight the prefrontal cortex and cerebellum, shedding light on their roles in cognitive processes and dysfunction.
The course will delve into the intricate relationship between cerebral blood flow and cognitive function, particularly following concussions. We will cover acupuncture strategies for treating disorders of consciousness. Specific acupuncture points for increasing anterior and posterior cerebral blood flow will be discussed, alongside an electro-acupuncture protocol designed to enhance blood flow to the prefrontal cortex.
Through this comprehensive curriculum, participants will emerge equipped with the knowledge and skills to effectively address cognitive dysfunction using acupuncture and complementary modalities.
