​
  
A nerve conduction study (NCS) is a diagnostic test that measures the speed and strength of electrical signals traveling through    your nerves. It helps detect nerve damage or dysfunction and is commonly used to diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel         syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, nerve injuries, and other disorders affecting the nervous system. Everything from CTS to ALS

​** Understanding the Periodic Table of Elements and Its Role in
Neurodiagnostics & Medicine  ( FREE 0.5 CEU Available Credit ) 


The periodic table of elements is not merely a chart for high school chemistry; it is one of the most important frameworks in all of science. It provides a visual organization of all known chemical elements based on their atomic structure and properties, serving as a foundational reference for scientists, physicians, and educators. From designing pharmaceuticals to developing biomedical devices, understanding the periodic table enables deeper insight into the atomic and molecular building blocks of matter. In medicine—especially fields like neurodiagnostics a working knowledge of elemental properties is not just academic, but functionally crucial.

The Action Potential: How Nerve Impulses Work
An action potential is a brief, rapid change in a neuron’s electrical charge, allowing it to transmit information. This electrical event is the foundation of nerve communication and occurs in three key phases: depolarization, repolarization, and the refractory period

** EEG History & Seizure Types (1.5 CEU's Click Here)

​
The history and advancements in electroencephalography (EEG) have been instrumental in shaping the field of Neurodiagnostics. The foundation of EEG was laid by Hans Berger, whose discoveries were later confirmed by British and American researchers in the early 20th century. Their collective efforts helped establish EEG as a crucial tool in identifying neurological disorders, particularly epilepsy. EEG, EP's PSG.

​** Ensuring Patient Safety EEG, EP's, NCS,/EMG, PSG, IONM (1.0 CEU Click Here)

​
Neurodiagnostic Clinicians must prioritize safety, accuracy, and patient care across all modalities, EEG, EP, NCS, PSG, and IONM. Adherence to best practices in infection control, patient safety, emergency preparedness, equipment maintenance, and data security ensures high-quality diagnostics and optimal patient outcomes.

** Refractory Period (Free - 0.5 CEU Click Here)

​
The absolute refractory period is a fundamental property of neurons that ensures the proper initiation and propagation of action potentials. It plays a critical role in maintaining the unidirectional flow of neural signals and limiting the frequency of neuronal firing. Understanding this concept is essential for interpreting various neurophysiological assessments EEG, EP's, NCS, IONM, PSG.

** Cortical Generators and EEG Voltage Fields: A Scientific Perspective (1.5 CEU's Click Here)

Electroencephalography (EEG) is a widely used neurophysiological method that records electrical activity generated by the brain. The cortical generators of EEG signals originate from the synchronous activity of pyramidal neurons within the cerebral cortex. This paper explores the fundamental principles behind EEG voltage fields, the neurophysiological mechanisms responsible for their generation, and the influence of cortical structures on recorded signals
