FNDS 2026 Abstract 178 landing page

Project Fionigan FND landing

A plain-language page about FND, communication access, and how Project Fionigan helps keep a patient’s story together when lived explanation becomes difficult.

Project Fionigan keeps fragmented FND information connected, source-linked, and human-readable when lived communication becomes difficult.

New to FND? Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) is a real neurological condition that affects how the brain sends and receives signals, which can cause problems with movement, speech, sensation, thinking, or seizure-like episodes. NIH/NINDS overviewOpens official NINDS page in a new tab — Fionigan overlay does not continue there..

Website status notice: This website is being built and updated in real time. It may contain mistakes, incomplete information, or features that are still being reviewed. It is provided for informational and all-inclusive accessibility-first continuity purposes only and is not medical advice, a diagnosis, or a substitute for care from a qualified clinician. The original source records remain the controlling record.

I am not learning how to have FND. I am learning how to have FND publicly.

Public de-identification

Public version is de-identified

Patient-specific names, provider names, facility names, email addresses, record identifiers, exact identifying routes, and raw source records are removed or generalized in this public website version.

Important: the overlay does not travel to the official NINDS page

The Project Fionigan floating controls work on Project Fionigan pages. When you open the official NINDS website, you are leaving this site, so the Fionigan overlay cannot continue onto that external page.

Use the Fionigan FND landing page or NINDS source bridge if you want the overlay, read-aloud, search, Pages, and Follow yellow tools. Open the official NINDS page when you want the outside authoritative source.

The future version that works over outside websites is the browser-extension or sidecar-overlay path.

FND source bridge

Functional Neurologic Disorder source landing

This page is a Project Fionigan landing page for Functional Neurologic Disorder context. It does not replace the official NINDS page. It gives people a plain starting point before leaving the site or opening the source bridge.

Source boundary: the official NINDS page remains the authoritative external source. Project Fionigan adds accessibility, reading, search, continuity framing, and a source bridge.

Open the Project Fionigan NINDS source bridge Use the Fionigan-style bridge page with the same overlay controls. Open the official NINDS FND page Leaves this site and opens the official source in a new tab. Opens official NINDS page in a new tab — Fionigan overlay does not continue there. Read the continuity framework page See how FND, communication access, documentation, and continuity fit into the framework. Return to the continuous view Go back to the current long-scroll Fionigan landing flow.

Choose the Fionigan bridge to keep the overlay. Choose the official NINDS source to leave this site and view the outside source without the overlay.

Why this belongs in Project Fionigan

FND is not just a diagnosis label in this framework. It is a continuity-risk area where communication, interpretation, records, disability access, and context must follow the person carefully.

The public site keeps this de-identified and informational. The private/protected lanes hold source records and case materials.

Future overlay path

Today this site can link to and frame the official NINDS source. The future Fionigan overlay direction is a browser extension or sidecar layer that can work over external pages with permission.

Stay in Project Fionigan overlay mode Open the NINDS source bridge with the Fionigan overlay tools still available. Open official NINDS page Leaves this site. The Fionigan overlay will not continue on the external page.
