FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGY FOR ALZHEIMER'S & COGNITIVE DECLINE
Why Functional Neurology Succeeds Where Traditional Neurology Fails
Traditional neurology diagnoses and prescribes medications. However, functional neurologists understand how the brain works – and more importantly, how to restore proper brain function when it’s been damaged.
At The Carroll Institute, Dr. Glenn combines functional neurology with the proven ReCODE protocol to achieve what traditional neurology cannot: actual reversal of Alzheimer’s disease, cognitive decline, and memory loss.

THE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE
Diagnosis vs. Restoration
Traditional Neurology Approach:
- Neurologists diagnose cognitive decline through symptom observation
- They prescribe medications that only slow progression
- Doctors monitor decline with periodic testing
- They offer no rehabilitation or restoration methods
- Traditional neurology focuses on managing symptoms, not treating causes
Functional Neurology Approach:
- Specialists map specific brain dysfunction patterns
- They identify which neural pathways are damaged
- Practitioners create custom rehabilitation exercises to rebuild connections
- They address root causes affecting brain function
- Functional neurologists restore optimal brain performance through targeted interventions
The difference is profound: Traditional neurology tells you what’s wrong. Functional neurology tells you what’s wrong AND how to fix it.
HOW FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGY REVERSES COGNITIVE DECLINE
Rebuilding Your Brain’s Lost Connections
Brain Mapping and Assessment:
Functional neurologists use specialized testing to map your brain’s current function:
- They identify which brain regions aren’t working properly
- Specialists determine which neural pathways have been damaged
- They assess the severity of dysfunction in different areas
- Practitioners create a roadmap for targeted rehabilitation
Neuroplasticity: Your Brain’s Ability to Heal:
The brain can form new connections and rebuild damaged pathways throughout life. Furthermore, functional neurology harnesses this neuroplasticity through:
- Specific exercises that stimulate damaged brain regions
- Targeted activities that promote new neural connections
- Progressive challenges that strengthen weakened pathways
- Customized protocols based on individual dysfunction patterns
The Carroll Institute’s Unique Advantage:
We are the only clinic in the Sarasota area that creates customized neurological exercises and cognitive drills for each person based on what they specifically need, determined through our comprehensive functional neurology examination.
THE BRAIN REGIONS WE REHABILITATE
Targeting Specific Areas for Maximum Recovery
Hippocampus (Memory Center):
- Specialists design custom exercises to improve memory formation
- They develop spatial navigation training protocols
- Practitioners create memory consolidation techniques
- They implement new learning protocols
Prefrontal Cortex (Executive Function):
- Experts design problem-solving exercises
- They create attention and focus training programs
- Specialists develop decision-making rehabilitation
- They implement planning and organization skills training
Temporal Lobes (Language and Processing):
- Practitioners create word-finding exercises

Each patient receives exercises specifically designed for their pattern of brain dysfunction.
WHY TRADITIONAL NEUROLOGISTS CAN'T DO THIS
The Training Gap That Limits Recovery
Medical School Limitations:
Traditional neurology training focuses on:
- Disease diagnosis and classification
- Pharmaceutical interventions
- Surgical procedures when appropriate
- Symptom monitoring and management
What’s Missing from Traditional Training:
- Brain rehabilitation techniques
- Neuroplasticity principles and application
- Functional assessment methods
- Custom exercise development
- Root cause analysis and treatment
Functional Neurology Requires Specialized Training:
- Years of additional study beyond medical school
- Certification in brain rehabilitation techniques
- Understanding of neuroplasticity and recovery
- Training in custom exercise development
- Integration with functional medicine principles
Dr. Glenn’s unique combination of 40+ years functional neurology experience and ReCODE protocol certification provides expertise that is unmatched in Sarasota.

Functional neurology findings: Severe hippocampal dysfunction, damaged memory pathways
Custom rehabilitation: Memory formation exercises, spatial navigation training, attention protocols
Results: MoCA score improved from 18 to 26, returned to managing finances independently
Case Study: Michael T., Age 65
Traditional neurology diagnosis: “Progressive cognitive decline”
Functional neurology findings: Left temporal lobe dysfunction, language processing problems
Custom rehabilitation: Word-finding exercises, language comprehension training, communication protocols
Results: Severe word-finding problems resolved, returned to part-time consulting work
Case Study: Lori M., Age 74
Traditional neurology diagnosis: “Untreatable dementia”
Functional neurology findings: Prefrontal cortex dysfunction, executive function impairment
Custom rehabilitation: Problem-solving exercises, attention training, planning skill restoration
Results: Family says she’s “back to her old self,” returned to volunteer leadership roles
Real Results from Cognitive Pathway Rebuilding:
"The cognitive exercises Dr. Glenn designed for me were unlike anything I'd ever experienced. Within months, I could feel my brain working better - like pathways that had been blocked were opening up again."
Patricia M., Sarasota
This is why our 84% success rate is possible – we don’t just remove what’s damaging the brain, we actively rebuild what’s been lost.
THE FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGY ASSESSMENT PROCESS
Mapping Your Brain’s Unique Dysfunction Pattern
Comprehensive Evaluation Includes:
Cognitive Function Testing:
- Detailed memory assessment across multiple domains
- Executive function evaluation
- Attention and processing speed testing
- Language and communication assessment
Neurological Examination:
- Cranial nerve function testing
- Cerebellar function assessment
- Balance and coordination evaluation
- Sensory system integration testing
Brain Mapping:
- Identification of specific dysfunction patterns
- Correlation with symptoms and complaints
- Severity assessment for each affected region
- Priority ranking for rehabilitation focus
Custom Exercise Development:
- Exercises targeting your specific deficits
- Progressive difficulty levels
- Home and office-based protocols
- Regular reassessment and adjustment
No two patients receive the same rehabilitation program because no two brains have identical dysfunction patterns.

FUNCTIONAL NEUROLOGY + ReCODE PROTOCOL
The Most Comprehensive Cognitive Recovery Approach Available
Why Combining These Approaches is Revolutionary
ReCODE Protocol Eliminates Root Causes:
- Removes toxins damaging brain cells
- Reduces inflammation destroying neural connections
- Optimizes hormones supporting brain function
- Corrects metabolic problems affecting brain energy
Functional Neurology Rebuilds Brain Function:
- Maps specific areas of brain dysfunction
- Creates custom exercises to rebuild damaged pathways
- Stimulates neuroplasticity for new connection formation
- Restores optimal brain performance through targeted rehabilitation.
Together, They Achieve What Neither Can Alone:
- Complete elimination of damage-causing factors
- Active rebuilding of lost brain function
- Restoration of cognitive abilities thought to be permanently lost
- Long-term maintenance of cognitive improvements
This is why The Carroll Institute achieves 84% success rates while others offer only symptom management.
THE NEUROPLASTICITY ADVANTAGE
Your Brain’s Remarkable Ability to Heal and Rebuild
Neuroplasticity Principles:
The brain can form new neural connections throughout life when given proper stimulation:
- Damaged pathways can be bypassed through new connections
- Healthy brain regions can take over damaged functions
- Targeted exercises promote specific neural growth
- Consistent stimulation strengthens new pathways
Functional Neurology Harnesses Neuroplasticity:
- Specific exercises stimulate desired brain regions
- Progressive challenges promote continued growth
- Targeted activities strengthen weakened connections
- Custom protocols maximize individual recovery potential
Age is Not a Barrier:
Neuroplasticity continues throughout life. We’ve seen remarkable improvements in patients in their 70s and 80s when proper functional neurology protocols are applied
Dr. Carrick showed us that the brain isn’t fixed – it can be retrained, rebuilt, and restored. That foundation, combined with the latest ReCODE research, allows us to achieve remarkable cognitive recoveries. – Dr. Glenn
