The Power of Touch

Rick Chillot
Curriculums:

---

We have an innate ability to decode emotions via touch alone. Rick Chillot said “We begin receiving tactile signals even before birth, as the vibration of our mother's heartbeat is amplified by amniotic fluid. No wonder then that touch plays a critical role in parent-child relationships from the start.”

Support cells found in human brain make mice smarter

University of Rochester Medical Center
Curriculums:

---

"The role of the astrocyte is to provide the perfect environment for neural transmission," said Maiken Nedergaard, M.D., D.M.Sc. Glial cells -- a family of cells found in the human central nervous system and, until recently, considered mere "housekeepers" -- now appear to be essential to the unique complexity of the human brain. Scientists reached this conclusion after demonstrating that when transplanted into mice, these human cells could influence communication within the brain, allowing the animals to learn more rapidly.

Abstract

Introduction

Autism or Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) with abnormal or impaired development in reciprocal social interaction, abnormal or impaired social communication and social imagination. Recent theories focused on the possibility of autism being linked with gastrointestinal (GI) abnormalities. Moreover, the problem behaviour typical of autism might be linked to the underlying medical symptoms such as abdominal pain, diarrhoea, and bloating typical of GI dysfunction.

CSF Absorption - new and old idea (Power Point Presentation)

Dan Greitz
Curriculums:

---

The power point presentation addresses a new view on CSF circulation and production. The old model of CSF circulation is that there is bulk flow of CSF from the intraventricular plexus to the arachnoid granulations. The new model is that CSF is produced and absorbed by the brain capillaries. Studies are shown to support the new model. The conclusion of the presentation is 1. The major part of the CSF is produced and absorbed by the brain capillaries; 2. Brain capillaries actively transport water-soluble molecules from the brain, 3. Active transport from brain to blood is a prerequisite for brain homeostasis.

Visceral massage reduces postoperative ileus in a rat model

Susan L.Shapelle,RMTa, Geoffrey M.BoveDC, PhDb
Curriculums:

---

Abdominal surgery invariably causes a temporary reduction of normal intestinal motility, called postoperative ileus. Postoperative ileus extends hospital stays, increases the costs of hospitalization, and may contribute to the formation of postoperative adhesions. We designed experiments to determine if visceral massage affects postoperative ileusin a rat model.
