How Cranio Sacral Therapy May Contribute to Brain Health
Tad Wanveer, LMBT, CST-DCurriculums:
This article discusses one likely corrective route by which CranioSacral Therapy (CST) can enhance brain structure through the connective tissue layers, or meninges, surrounding the brain. CST helps improve health and healing by addressing the entire strain pattern in both the biomechanical framework and the neurological patterns formed by the stressor or trauma in the brain.

Embryonic cerebrospinal fluid in brain development: neural progenitor control
Angel Gato,M. Isabel Alonso, Cristina Martín, Estela Carnicero, José Antonio Moro, Aníbal De la Mano, José M. F. Fernández, Francisco Lamus,and Mary E. DesmondCurriculums:
Due to the effort of several research teams across the world, today we have a solid base of knowledge on the liquid contained in the brain cavities, its composition, and biological roles. Although the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is among the most relevant parts of the central nervous system from the physiological point of view, it seems that it is not a permanent and stable entity because its composition and biological properties evolve across life. So, we can talk about different CSFs during the vertebrate life span. In this review, we focus on the CSF in an interesting period, early in vertebrate development before the formation of the choroid plexus. This specific entity is called “embryonic CSF.” Based on the structure of the compartment, CSF composition, origin and circulation, and its interaction with neuroepithelial precursor cells (the target cells) we can conclude that embryonic CSF is different from the CSF in later developmental stages and from the adult CSF. This article presents arguments that support the singularity of the embryonic CSF, mainly focusing on its influence on neural precursor behavior during development and in adult life.
