The additional correlation between other vestibular diagnosis was most helpful as well as additional case history suggestions to include for patient's reporting a history of "migraine headaches." It was also really great to review the anatomy of blood flow as it relates to the cortex and the ear for possibility of end organ dysfunction causation. Enjoyed the presentation.
