Blows to Head Damage Brain’s ‘Garbage Truck,’ Accelerate Dementia
co-authors include Michael Chen, Lijun Yang, Itender Singh, and Rashid Deane with the University of Rochester, and Douglas Zeppenfeld with the Oregon Health and Science University.Curriculums:
A new study is out that traumatic Brain Injury can disrupt the function of the brains waste removal system.When this occurs, toxic proteins may accumulate in the brain, setting the stage for the onset of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s and chronic traumatic encephalopathy.
As with the rest of the body, the timely removal of waste from the Brain is essential to prevent unchecked accumulation of toxic proteins and other debris.
Recent studies have shown that the glymphatic system is more active during sleep which is why sleep is so refreshing to the mind and that it's function declines with age.

The differences between VM, NM, MAA, and CST
IAHECurriculums:
Barral Visceral Manipulation (VM) and Neural Manipulation (NM) , as well as Upledger CranioSacral Therapy (CST), are based on osteopathic principles. They all rely on connecting with, listening to, and following the self-correcting mechanism of the body. This article gives a brief description of each technique and how each connects to this self-correcting mechanism of the body in different ways with the ultimate goal of relieving pain and dysfunction, while improving health and vitality.

CULTIVATING NEUTRALITY
Robyn ScherrCurriculums:
Cultivating neutrality encourages us to be aware of our choices and challenge our habitual reactions and assumptions. While the goal of complete neutrality is not for every bodyworker in every situation, I believe we all could benefit from being more neutral in the ways we approach and interact with our clients. When we focus less on outcome and more on being present with our clients as they are, the outcomes they experience actually tend to improve.

Mechanism that repairs brain after stroke discovered
Lund UniversityCurriculums:
A previously unknown mechanism through which the brain produces new nerve cells after a stroke has been discovered by researchers. A stroke is caused by a blood clot blocking a blood vessel in the brain, which leads to an interruption of blood flow and therefore a shortage of oxygen. Many nerve cells die, resulting in motor, sensory and cognitive problems. The researchers have shown that following an induced stroke in mice, support cells, so-called astrocytes, start to form nerve cells in the injured part of the brain.

UCLA study finds link between neural stem cell overgrowth and autism-like behavior in mice
Mark WheelerCurriculums:
A new study in the journal Stem Cell Reports found that maternal inflammation could trigger the overgrowth of young nerve cells, which has been linked to the development of autism spectrum disorders. To simulate a maternal infection, researchers at UCLA injected pregnant mice with lipopolysaccharide, which led to enlarged brains and an increase in the number of neural stem cells in the pups. These pups also displayed autism-like behaviors. The researchers say that these results add to the body of evidence that's accumulating that indicates risk for autism may begin before birth and continue afterwards.
