Narinder Kapur, PhD, Dip Psych, University College London, London, UK, shares an overview of the key research needs in the field of functional cognitive disorder (FCD). He emphasizes the importance of defining FCD clearly, as discussions around internal and external inconsistency often lack precision. Given the variability seen, it is likely there are different types of FCD, with varying severity, and improved recognition and classification of these is an important next step. Prof. Kapur also highlights the need for treatment trials to identify effective interventions. His website, neuropsychologyresources.com, provides assessment and rehabilitation resources for those seeking further information. This interview took place at
the 18th Annual Congress on Controversies in Neurology (CONy 2024) in London, UK.
