Cortex

By the end of Weekend 3, participants will be able to:

1. Identify the functional roles of the frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital, and insular lobes.

2. Describe major cortical networks including dorsal/ventral attention networks, default mode network, and fronto-cerebellar loops.

3. Recognize clinical signs of cortical dysfunction including neglect, apraxia, aphasia, and dysexecutive syndrome.

4. Administer cognitive-motor assessment tools for processing speed, executive function, and visuospatial awareness.

5. Design cortical activation drills for frontal sequencing, parietal visuospatial training, auditory/language stimulation, and visual processing tasks.

6. Apply key principles of cortical neuroplasticity (novelty, specificity, timing, intensity).

7. Integrate cerebellar, brainstem, and cortical rehabilitation into hierarchical circuit-based treatment.

8. Develop multimodal rehab routines combining sensory, cognitive, oculomotor, and motor tasks.

9. Create individualized home programs tailored to age, diagnosis, and functional goals.

10. Construct 30–45 minute treatment circuits using case-based reasoning.

11. Demonstrate competency in cortical case interpretation and clinical application.
