Unraveling the mysteries of the brain is the starting point for a class that navigates the complex, fragmented healthcare system and discusses strategies for advocating for personalized care. In addition to simplifying common neurological conditions—such as headaches, dizziness, stroke, Parkinson’s disease, and memory loss—the course examines testing and imaging of the nervous system. It also focuses on illness prevention through healthy lifestyles and provides an intimate discussion of end-of-life issues.
