• Activity INFORMATION

  Overview

  As the science of brain function, neurology is unique in its scope. The brain controls most functions of the body. As such, when this system goes awry, a whole slew of bodily autonomy can be impacted. The brain controls voluntary movement and involuntary functions. This session will provide context for medications surrounding neurological function, explore voluntary and involuntary mechanisms, how and why they are different, and how medications impact both. With particular focus on stroke, epilepsy, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s diseases, we will discuss what goes wrong in the brain, what function we can restore with medications, those we cannot, and various nuances for medications involved.
