^ This is an incredible video that explains Functional Neurological Disorder from a clinician, patient, parent, and healthcare worker perspective - A very valuable watch

Specifically, I want to talk about Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) because I believe it is a condition that is often misunderstood or not well-known. Raising awareness and understanding of FND would help not only those who live with it but also us as paramedics. We can encourage patients who may have had negative healthcare experiences previously to reach out so we can create a safe and positive educated experience. It would encourage empathy, reduce stigma, and create better support for people dealing with this complex disorder—which is actually much more common than many realize. FND is a real and disabling condition that affects how the brain functions, rather than being caused by structural damage, like a hardware issue in a computer. Instead, it’s more like a software problem, where the brain’s communication system isn’t working as it should. This can lead to symptoms like difficulty finding words, movement issues, or even seizures, even though there’s no physical damage to the brain itself.

Despite being as common as conditions like multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease, FND is still widely unrecognized. This lack of awareness often leaves those with FND feeling isolated and frustrated. Symptoms can be triggered by events like physical injuries, infections, or stress, and they can appear suddenly and unpredictably. One unique aspect of FND is that symptoms often get worse when the person focuses on them but may improve when they are distracted or not paying attention to them. This shows how closely the brain and body are connected in FND, with both psychological and physical factors playing a role in how symptoms present themselves.

This is such a complex and interesting idea to me that is probably not covered but nonetheless, I am so fascinated that we are basically the only organisms capable of the awareness of "self". This reminds me of Internal Family Systems and how forgotten its become. Metacognition and the way we can create images through imagination is so beautiful. It's quite incredible that we perceive what is OUR reality based on everything that has written our code from day 1. What is the real reality? Is it possible to have experiences that are unbiased? If it is only part of the human condition to have consciousness - why? and where does it go? So many questions! So little time!

The nervous system can adapt to major structural changes to regain function by creating new neural pathways.

I didn't know much other than the nervous system helps our brain communicating with our body and our body communicating with our brain whether it is involuntary or voluntary. It is responsible for our senses and movement of our body.

Neuroplasticity is our brains ability to heal and rewire if there is injury or disorders.

I learned the differences between the two. myotomes help control movements where dermatomes deal with sensation. I also found it easy to remember since the words themselves make sense. derm meaning skin and myo meaning muscle.

I learned that when the brain is damaged, such as in a CVA, it is able to reform lost connections by using the undamaged neurons to form the connections. It does this through a process known as axon sprouting. Essentially, it grows a new little 'tail' off of its axon. IT DOES NOT GROW ANOTHER AXON.

Unmyelinated axons transmits the signal slower than a myelinated axon because while in a myelinated axon, the impulse can jump from one node of Ranvier to another, in the unmyelinated axon - there are no nodes so the impulse must travel down the whole length of the axon.
