Brain 2 teaches the form, function and response mechanisms of the brain’s various components and offers hands-on techniques to effectively release many primary restrictions that can affect the whole body. In this class we will learn different ways to find primary lesion in the brain and we will focus a little more on the spinal cord grey and white matter.

Hours

Registration starts at 830am on the first day of class. Daily class hours are from 9am – 530pm. On the last day, we will end by 4pm.

Prerequisite

B1: Brain Tissue, Nuclei, Fluid & Autonomic Nervous System, plus at least three (3) months of practice after attending B1.
 
An in-depth advance study of anatomical terms and concepts is necessary; a study list is provided below.

Learner Objectives 

By the end of the course, participants will be able to correctly

  • demonstrate on a live person how to alleviate physical symptoms of Reticular Alarm System hyperactivity
  • assess on a live person fluid dysfunctions of the Ventricles
  • demonstrate on a live person how to release dysfunctions of the Corpus Callosum
  • demonstrate on a live person how torelease dysfunctions of the Anterior Commissure
  • assess on a live person fluid dysfunctions of the Internal Capsule
  • assess on a live person dysfunctions of the Thalamus
  • demonstrate on a live person how to release the peduncles of the Cerebellum
  • Based on a fascia and fluid approach participants will be able to correctly design on a live person a proper treatment plan in relation to CNS dysfunctions
  • demonstrate on a live person how to release mechanical dysfunctions of the spinal cord
  • demonstrate on a live person how to release caudal meningeal attachments of the spinal cord
  • demonstrate on a live person how to release cephalic meningeal attachments of the spinal cord.

Preparation

Anatomical/Physiological Terms

The DVD “Dissection of the Brain” and Spinal Cord is a great preparation for the Brain 2 class.

Be sure you understand the following words and, as applicable, know precisely where these structures are located in the body.

For this class it is more important to know their 3-dimensional location and relationship with one another, than their classically described physiology.

Reticular alarm system: median (raphe nuclei), medial and lateral columns, locus coeruleus, sulcus limitans, rhomboid fossa.

  • Frontal and occipital forceps of corpus callosum
  • Internal capsule
  • Anterior commissure, medial and lateral olfactory striae, posterior commissure
  • Commissure of fornix (psalterium or lyre of David)
  • Mamillothalamic tract
  • Posterior limb of internal capsule, pyramidal decussation, corticospinal tracts
  • Dentate gyrus, gyrus fasciolaris
  • All nuclei of thalamus, including midline, medial dorsal (MD), all lateral and all ventral, intralaminar nuclei (centromedian, central lateral, parafascicular), etc.
  • Nucleus accumbens, septal nuclei, nucleus basalis (of Meynert), ventral tegmental area (VTA), stria terminalis, stria medullaris
  • Habenular nuclei
  • Vermis, superior, middle and inferior cerebellar peduncles
  • Vestibular nuclei
  • Periaqueductal gray matter (PAG)
  • Dura, arachnoid, pia, in the brain and spine
  • Spinal cord, foramen magnum, C1, C2, cervical and lumbar enlargements, dorsal and ventral roots, dorsal root (spinal) ganglion, conus medullaris, cauda equina, filum terminale

It will be helpful to read the article “CSF and Lymph: Is Human CSF Reabsorbed by Lymph?” from “Silent Waves, Theory & Practice of Lymph Drainage Therapy”, Part 5, Chapter 8.
