The Glymphatic Pathway

Abstract
How anger affects your brain and body
The National Institute for the Clinical Application of Behavioral MedicineCurriculums:
This article explains the many different ways that anger changes your brain. Elevated cortisol causes neurons to accept too much calcium through their membrane. A calcium overload can make cells fire too frequently and die. It also discusses how stress hormones affect your body.
Why Dyslexia Is More Than a Reading Disorder
Alice ParkCurriculums:
In the latest research published in the journal Neuron, scientists led by John Gabrieli, a professor of brain and cognitive sciences at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, found that dyslexia may be due to a much broader difference in brain function.

Missing Link Between Gut and Brain Discovered With Big Implications for Disease
University of VirginiaCurriculums:
Researchers have identified immune cells in the membranes around the brain that could be a ‘missing link’ in the gut-brain axis. The immune cells also appear to have a positive impact on recovery following spinal cord injury.
Your Cells Are Listening: How Talking To Your Body Helps You Heal
Conscious ReminderCurriculums: Healing From the Core,
This article talks about positive body talk for healing.
In NFL Players, Brain Inflammation May Persist Years After Head Trauma
Alzforum.orgCurriculums:
Research has shown that sports-related head injuries lead to future amyloid and tau pathology, as well as a higher risk of dementia and neuropsychiatric symptoms. However, the link between traumatic brain injury (TBI) and these ensuing problems is unclear. Could inflammation play a role? Scientists led by Martin Pomper, Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Baltimore, report online in the November 28 JAMA Neurology that NFL players’ brains are replete with activated glial cells even without obvious neuropsychiatric problems. This finding suggests that neuroinflammation could be a marker for problems down the road.
An Introduction of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome for the CST Practitioner
Eloise Stager, BA, LMT, CSTCurriculums:
Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome is a genetic, connective tissue disorder affecting collagen production. One of the primary and most debilitating symptoms of EDS is a widespread, unrelenting and varying pain, with episodes of acute, excruciating pain when there is a direct joint injury, subluxation, or dislocation. Many people with EDS do not realize they have it.
CRANIAL SEA

Craniosacral Therapy is and the benefits of this work.
Scientists discover neuron-producing stem cells in the membranes covering the brain
VIB - Flanders Institute for BiotechnologyCurriculums:
In a cross-domain study researchers discovered unexpected cells in the meninges. These 'neural progenitors' (stem cells that differentiate into different kinds of neurons) are produced during embryonic development.
Scientists discover neuron-producing stem cells in the membranes covering the brain
VIB- Flanders Interuniversity Institute for BiotechnologyCurriculums:
This article is about how unexpected cells have been found in the protective membranes that enclose the brain, the so called meninges. These 'neural progenitors' -- or stem cells that differentiate into different kinds of neurons-- are produced during embryonic development. These findings show that the neural progenitors found in the meninges produce new neurons after birth-- highlighting the importance of meningeal tissue as well as these cells' potential in the development of new therapies for brain damage and neurodegeneration. A paper highlighting the results was published in the leading scientific journal Cell Stem Cell.
