Functional neurology is the study of the interrelationships of an individual neural system in the context of its broader health. Using anatomical and embryological relationships, the functional neurologist diagnoses dysfunctions within systems and uses these relationships to effect changes within neuraxis. The basic principles involved in functional neurology are neuroplasticity. Traditionally, neurology has tended to view the nervous system disease in black and white, one side being optimal neurological function and the other being neurological disease like tumors, strokes, etc. Functional neurology examines the dysfunction of the nervous system in different shades of gray, looking for subtle changes in the nervous system before they become separate pathologies. You will often hear from a functional neurologist that neurons need fuel and activation to thrive and survive. Fuel can be defined as oxygen, glucose and essential nutrients. Activation refers to stimulation of the nervous system that causes changes in the structure and metabolism of the nerve cell. More recently, functional neurology practitioners have also been involved in eliminating possible negative effects on neurons such as toxins, infectious agents and immune responses.
