Slow Rythmic Oscillations within the Human Cranium: Phenomenology, Origin, and Informational Signifigance
Moskalenko, Y.E., Frymann, V., Weinstein, G.BCurriculums:
Slow rhythmic oscillations in the human cranial cavity were studied using two noninvasive methods: the bio impedance method (volume ratios between liquid media in the cranial cavity) and trans cranial ultrasound Doppler echography (variation in the blood flow in the middle cerebral artery). The combination of these methods made it possible to estimate the intracranial hemodynamics. Simultaneous recording of these parameters and their spectral analysis were carried out in healthy subjects and patients with intra cranial hypertension syndrome and disturbed cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) flow. The parameters were recorded at rest and immediately after manual (osteopathic) correction.

Cranial rhythmic impulse related to the Traube-Hering-Mayer oscillation: comparing laser-Doppler flowmetry and palpation
Nelson, KE., Sergueff, N., Lipinski, CM., Chapman, AR., Glonek, T.Curriculums:
The primary respiratory mechanism (PRM) as manifested by the cranial rhythmic impulse (CRI), a fundamental concept to cranial osteopathy, and the Traube-Hering-Mayer (THM) oscillation bear a striking resemblance to one another. Because of this, the authors developed a protocol to simultaneously measure both phenomena.
