They are intended primarily for professionals concerned with mental health and with the brain and brain disorders. Each online video course takes 3 hours and 3 CE Credits will be awarded for each. The video courses are recordings of the live webinars which took place in November - December 2014. Download the brochure here (PDF file, 465 Kb). For more information please visit Ininstitute.org. Video Course 1: Executive Functions and the Frontal Lobes • Executive functions and frontal-lobe functions: are they the same? • Components of executive functions (planning, impulse control, working memory, and others). • Novel approaches to understanding the frontal-lobe functions. • Executive functions, laterality, and sex differences. • Regulation of emotions: frontal lobes and amygdala. • Executive functions in development and aging.

Video Course 2: Executive Dysfunction in Brain Disorders • Executive dysfunction in neurodevelopmental disorders (ADHD, Tourette's Syndrome). • Executive dysfunction in dementias (Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body dementia, Fronto-temporal dementia). • Executive dysfunction in cerebrovascular disorders (CVA, aneurisms). • Executive dysfunction in traumatic brain injury (reticulo-frontal disconnection syndrome). • Executive dysfunction in neuropsychiatric disorders (schizophrenia, affective disorders). • Executive dysfunction in movement disorders (Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease).
