Spinal movement is a strong driver of input into an area of the brain called the cerebellum. I know, it sounds complicated! We’ll keep it simple and look at why the spine is so important to our nervous system in this post. The spine is a primary driver of cerebellar and amazingly all brain function. […]
Your Neck’s Major Impact On Balance, Movement, and Brain Function
A study published in Experimental Brain Research looked at the neck’s influence on brain’s balance and knowing where we are in space. Researchers found that neck movement had a major impact on our brain’s ability to maintain these systems (the vestibular system). This is very important for people with losses of neck motion, neck pain, […]
Why Do So Many People Get Concussions?
Concussions Are Much More Common Than You Think… From Sports, Falls, Car Accidents, and More Our brains are especially susceptible to injury because of so many factors including it’s soft composition, it’s extreme wiring complexity, the hard skull in which it’s enclosed, the skull’s position on the relatively long and less stable neck, and our […]
Do I Have A Concussion?
What Causes A Concussion/Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI)? Concussions occur when the soft brain is thrown around inside our harder skull. These serious injuries don’t happen just from sports, and they don’t just happen to young adults. Concussions frequently happen to the aging population from falls and are over looked. They are common after car […]
The Brain’s Innate Immune System and Neuro-Inflammation
How Our Brain’s Immune System Goes Into Attack Mode Causing Symptoms That Can Be Devastating and Difficult To Figure Out. We have been discussing the process of neurological inflammation and the brain’s innate immune system over the last several posts. This series is based on some of the latest research presented by Dr. Kharrazian on […]
