Class Description:

Brain 2 teaches the form, function, and response mechanisms of the brain's various components and offers hands-on techniques to effectively release many primary restrictions that can affect the whole body. In this class, we will learn different ways to find a primary lesion in the brain, and we will focus a little more on the spinal cord's grey and white matter.

 

Cancellation Policy:

Tuition Transfer: The tuition is fully transferable up to 7 days prior to the start of the class.

Within 7 days, a $300.00 administrative fee will apply.

Tuition Refund: Tuition refund requests must be made in writing. Emails are acceptable. Tuition is fully refundable up to 30 days before the start of the class, after which your tuition is non-refundable. In case of emergency, any requests for a refund later than 30 days before class starts will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Anatomical/Physiological Terms

1. The DVD "Dissection of the Brain" and Spinal Cord is a great preparation for the Brain 2 class.

2. Be sure you understand the following words and, as applicable, know precisely where these structures are located in the body.B2: Brain Tissue, Nuclei, Fluid & RAS - Fluid Dynamics and Fascia Release of the CNS

For this class, it is more important to know their 3-dimensional location and relationship with one another, than their classically described physiology.

  • Reticular alarm system: median (raphe nuclei), medial and lateral columns, locus ceruleus, sulcus limitans, rhomboid fossa.
  • Frontal and occipital forceps of the corpus callosum

  • Internal capsule

  • Anterior commissure, medial and lateral olfactory striae, posterior commissure

  • The commissure of the fornix (psalterium or lyre of David)

  • Mamillothalamic tract

  • Posterior limb of the internal capsule, pyramidal decussation, corticospinal tracts

  • Dentate gyrus, gyrus fasciolaris

  • All nuclei of the thalamus, including midline, medial dorsal (MD), all lateral and all ventral, intralaminar nuclei (centromedian, central lateral, parafascicular), etc.

  • Nucleus accumbens, septal nuclei, nucleus basalis (of Meynert), ventral tegmental area (VTA), stria terminalis, stria medullaris

  • Habenular nuclei

  • Vermis, superior, middle, and inferior cerebellar peduncles

  • Vestibular nuclei

  • Periaqueductal gray matter (PAG)

  • Dura, arachnoid, pia, in the brain and spine

  • The spinal cord, foramen magnum, C1, C2, cervical and lumbar enlargements, dorsal and ventral roots, dorsal root (spinal) ganglion, conus medullaris, cauda equina, filum terminale

It will be helpful to read the article "CSF and Lymph: Is Human CSF Reabsorbed by Lymph?" from "Silent Waves, Theory & Practice of Lymph Drainage Therapy", Part 5, Chapter 8.B2: Brain Tissue, Nuclei, Fluid & RAS - Fluid Dynamics and Fascia Release of the CNS

3. You can see this Youtube video for the ascending and descending tracts of the spinal cordhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G-d8gKIlOw
