Tracking # 20-841927
Course overview
With current research advances in neurology, we must revisit the evidence for best practice and enhance intervention techniques for addressing the challenges of Complex Trauma Disorder, Autism, ADHD, and related disorders. This session reviews the nine neurological senses, neuronal oscillations, and autonomic neuronal plexuses to better understand symptomatology. This session will give specific focus to the various central nervous system plexuses and the role of the Vagus nerve. Active learning strategies will include video neuroanatomical reviews and case examples. You will be able to describe the various neurological structures related to the nine senses, describe neuronal oscillations and their connection to function, relate current research on the neuronal plexuses to function and dysfunction of individuals with Complex Trauma Disorder, Autism, ADHD, and related disorders.
