Podcasts about Neuroanatomy

It was a pleasure to be Conversation today with Dr. Mark Olson.   Mark holds an M.A. in Education and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Illinois, specializing in Cognitive and Behavioral Neuropsychology and Neuroanatomy. His research focused on memory, attention, eye movements, and aesthetic preferences. Dr. Olson is also a NARM® practitioner, aquatic therapist, former massage school director, and published author on chronic pain and trauma-informed care. He offers a variety of courses at http://Dr-Olson.com that provide neuroscientific insights into the human experience and relational skills training for professionals and curious laypersons.   In today's conversation, we explored how Mark's path weaves together neuroscience, bodywork, and a deep inquiry into what it means to touch, heal, and relate. We discussed how his early fascination with human behavior led him to neuroscience, and how a later immersion into massage revealed dimensions of psychological and relational change that traditional explanations couldn't fully capture. Mark shared insights on interoception, the role of C-tactile fibers in creating felt safety through human touch, and how neuroscience reframes concepts of trauma, posture, and therapeutic presence. Together, we questioned common narratives around “deep pressure,” “releasing trauma,” and “letting go,” highlighting the need for more nuanced, embodied, and trauma-informed approaches. Mark's work offers a bridge between hard science and heartfelt presence—a call to understand the nervous system not as a mechanical system to be fixed, but as a dynamic expression of relationship, history, and possibility. A thoughtful and integrative teacher, he invites us to move beyond surface models and into a richer, more compassionate way of seeing and supporting human experience.   You can find out more about Mark at http://www.Dr-Olson.com   If you are enjoying and getting something out of these talks, we'd appreciate it if you would leave a positive review of the podcast and subscribe to it through the platform of your choice.

Spinal tracts are bundles of neuronal axons that run through the spinal cord and brainstem. If we think about how neurones work, how they are bundled together with similar functions, which direction the action potentials are running in and the names of these tracts, we can remember what they all do.

Could this be the ‘cure' for Dyslexia?Do you know what is going on inside your dyslexic brain? Until you listen to this episode… you have no clue! In this episode Matthew Head meets with the brilliant Dr. Robert Melillo from New York, USA as they discuss how understanding the brain's neuroanatomy and how if is different in dyslexic brains from neurotypical brains, is the key to understanding how to get the most out of our brains and practically eliminate the challenges of dyslexia whilst keep all the strengths!Dr. Robert is one of the most respected specialists in childhood neurological disorders in America, and he has been helping children overcome learning disabilities for over 30 years. Dr. Melillo helps adults and children with various learning disabilities. He is focused on addressing the primary issue in most learning disabilities and behavioural disorders which is known as a functional disconnection. Since he introduced this concept, functional disconnection has become one of the leading theories in the world related to Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia and more. This work is leading the way toward understanding the underlying nature of these disorders and their causes.Dr. Robert Melillo is the creator of the ‘Melillo Method', his holistic approach to treating patients with a broad spectrum of brain related disorders.  The ‘Melillo Method' is used to identify brain imbalances and treat many symptoms of mental, attention, behavioural, and learning disorders in patients of all ages. This revolutionary approach is paired with diet and nutritional counselling and lifestyle modification to help promote brain and body balance,  effectively correcting the underlying problems common to the entire spectrum of seemingly disparate childhood or adult neurological dysfunctions.In this episode, Dr. Melillo shares how his research in this topic started when his children started to show signs of dyslexia, autism,  and ADHD. Wanting to know, ‘dad mode' kicked in and Robert read every book on the subject and, over a 10 year period, wrote his own book about these disorders and his research into the concept around brain imbalances. Dr. Robert Melillo is a bestselling author of many books in the dyslexia and ADHD space which are all well worth a read for parents and educators wanting to support their dyslexic children.Be prepared to think about dyslexia in a completely new way and see it from a new perspective, and maybe, find a new way of navigating the challenges and lean into your dyslexic strengths. Key Topics:The neuroanatomy of a dyslexic brain. imbalances between the left and right sides of the brain and the link to Dyslexia and ADHD,How diet is a key factor if affecting the challenges of dyslexia,For more hacks tip and tricks for dyslexia and full show notes please visit Dyslexia Life Hacks.Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter

Welcome back to another episode of Science of Slink! Today we are talking about a very important topic for furthering pole success, how to do spin pole without getting dizzy. Disclaimer: performance advice, NOT medical advice--if you're suffering from vertigo or dizziness talk to the other kind of doctor. We will discuss what the vestibular system is, things that can affect nausea, what is vestibular system adaption, and some drills that will help.  So what is the vestibular system? Your vestibular system controls your sense of movement & orientation. The body has loops of the inner ear (kind of like a level filled with "glitter", the otoliths) and Cilla (tiny hairs in the inner ear) that hold fluid, and when that fluid moves, those fluids inform your body of where it is in space. The vestibular system is also very closely connected to the visual system. More resources are attached below for more information on the visual system  Things that can affect dizziness, especially nausea include aging, (targeted exercises can help!) dehydration, hormonal disorders, especially low estrogen, duration & intensity such as adding plane of motion, and heat exhaustion or sensitivity One way to improve dizziness is by practicing vestibular system adaptation. Some ways to practice this are getting better at interpreting & recovering from intense vestibular inputs and balance! Some drills you can try as well are vision drills, head movement drills, some pole-specific gentle head movements at the start of practice that can help prepare you, spin drills, and start SLOW. Additionally,  neuro performance is an increasingly active area of research (addressing sub-clinical problems) Slink Through Strength Email Sign Up:  ⁠http://eepurl.com/iimjnX⁠ Join pole instructor & personal trainer Rosy Boa as she chats with experts about the evidence-based practices you can introduce to your pole journey to improve your pole journey and feel better.

Cadaver dissection is one of the highest-rated days of paramedic school for those programs lucky enough to have access to a cadaver lab. However, a fun experience does not always equate to student learning. Join us for this month's educational journal club as we review "A Know-Brainer: The Power of Cadaver-Based Instruction to Teach Clinical Neuroanatomy" and ask whether cadaver dissections help improve learning.

About The GuestsACCESS LITERACY TEAMDorothy KardatzkeI live with my husband in Columbus, Ohio. I taught for more than 25 years in both general education classrooms and in classrooms for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing. Since 1997, when I was first trained in the English code, all my literacy instruction has been delivered using programs that are Orton-based. I left the classroom in 2018 to create space to write curriculum, and train/coach teachers. However, I will always be a teacher. It is who I am! I tutor little folks and big folks in literacy whenever I have the chance.​I had a rather circuitous educational journey which offered me the opportunity to embark on what I do presently. I completed a double major in Elementary Education and Deaf Education from Augustana College. I later completed post-graduate work in Linguistics and Language Development at the University of South Dakota and Neuroanatomy  at The Ohio State University.​During leisure time, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, hiking, fishing, canoeing, camping and cross-country skiing.Melody FurnoMy husband and I live in Columbus, Ohio where I taught an Orton-based Method for literacy in Kindergarten and first grade classrooms for 19 years. Encountering struggling readers in the classroom motivated me to enroll in coursework and to research current information on reading disabilities and dyslexia to set up interventions in the classroom.​Since leaving the classroom, I have used an Orton-based Method to train and consult teachers in literacy across the country and tutor struggling readers in 4th and 5th grades for Columbus Public Schools. ​I enjoy nature, fishing, hiking and biking. My special interest is to encourage faith-based ministries to play a part in addressing youth and adult illiteracy.   Show NotesPhonics programs are an important foundation for teaching students how to read.

As the topic of mental health has gained attention over the past several years, you've no doubt heard a couple of related phrases you're not familiar with. One is the vagus nerve. The other is heart rate variability. Here, we'll delve into the vagus nerve and what it's all about. What is the Vagus Nerve? The vagus nerve, also known as the 10th cranial nerve or cranial nerve X, is the longest and most complex of the cranial nerves. It is also known as the "wanderer nerve" due to its long, winding course through the body, connecting various organs and systems. It is a key part of the parasympathetic nervous system, which controls involuntary body functions such as digestion, heart rate, and immune response.“Vagus Nerve: What It Is, Function, Location & Conditions.” Cleveland Clinic, https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/22279-vagus-nerve. Accessed 6 Feb. 2024. The vagus nerve originates in the medulla oblongata, a part of the brain that connects to the spinal cord, and extends down through the neck to the vital abdominal organs.Segal, Dayva. “Vagus Nerve: What to Know.” WebMD, https://www.webmd.com/brain/vagus-nerve-what-to-know. Accessed 6 Feb. 2024. It contains both motor and sensory fibers, which means it can send and receive information.Kenny BJ, Bordoni B. Neuroanatomy, Cranial Nerve 10 (Vagus Nerve) [Updated 2022 Nov 7]. In: StatPearls [Internet]. Treasure Island (FL): StatPearls Publishing; 2024 Jan-. Available from: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK537171/ The vagus nerve carries signals between the brain, heart, and digestive system. It is responsible for various bodily functions, including digestion, heart rate, and breathing. It also plays a role in controlling mood, immune response, and the regulation of food intake, satiety, and energy homeostasis.Breit S, Kupferberg A, Rogler G, Hasler G. Vagus Nerve as Modulator of the Brain-Gut Axis in Psychiatric and Inflammatory Disorders. Front Psychiatry. 2018 Mar 13;9:44. doi: 10.3389/fpsyt.2018.00044. PMID: 29593576; PMCID: PMC5859128. Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is a treatment method that uses electrical impulses to stimulate the nerve. It's used to treat some cases of epilepsy and depression that don't respond to other treatments. Damage to it can lead to conditions like gastroparesis, where food does not move into the intestines, and vasovagal syncope, a condition where people faint from low blood pressure. Vagal Tone Vagal tone is often used to assess heart function, emotional regulation, and other processes that alter or are altered by changes in parasympathetic activity. A higher resting vagal tone means you have a reserve capacity for stress. You're more stress resilient.Laborde S, Mosley E, Thayer JF. Heart Rate Variability and Cardiac Vagal Tone in Psychophysiological Research - Recommendations for Experiment Planning, Data Analysis, and Data Reporting. Front Psychol. 2017 Feb 20;8:213. doi: 10.3389/fpsyg.2017.00213. PMID: 28265249; PMCID: PMC5316555. Vagal tone is typically measured indirectly by heart rate variability (HRV), which is the variation in time between each heartbeat. HRV is considered a marker of the body's resilience and adaptability to stress, with higher HRV (indicating greater variability in the intervals between heartbeats) generally associated with better health and fitness, greater resilience to stress, and lower risk of disease. The Vagus Nerve and the Gut-Brain Axis The vagus nerve plays a pivotal role in the gut-brain axis, a complex communication network that links the central nervous system (CNS) with the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. This bidirectional pathway allows for the exchange of signals between the gut and the brain, influencing a wide range of bodily functions, including mood, immune response, digestion, and heart rate. Here's how the vagus nerve affects the gut-brain axis: Direct and Indirect Sensing The vagus nerve can directly or indirectly sense a variety of signals from t...

This is: I'm confused about innate smell neuroanatomy, published by Steven Byrnes on November 29, 2023 on LessWrong. (This post is probably only of interest to neuroscientists. I'm mostly writing it in the hopes that someone more knowledgeable will chime in and help me out. There's a comments section at the bottom, or email me.) tl;dr In animals, specific innate reactions are reliably triggered by corresponding specific smells - for example, odors associated with natural predators tend to trigger avoidance behavior, even in the absence of any prior experience of those odors. In order for this to work, I think odor information needs to get from the nose to either the hypothalamus or brainstem, without passing through any of a long list of regions that includes the amygdala and the whole cortex. I'm struggling to figure out what this pathway is, if any. I offer my best current guesses as to what's going on. Background Why I expect direct projections of smell (like all other senses) to the "Steering Subsystem" It's well-known that animals have numerous specific innate reactions that are triggered by specific smells. For example, odors associated with species-typical predators or unhealthy food may trigger avoidance, odors associated with species-typical healthy food may trigger approach and eating, odors emitted by conspecifics may trigger mating, aggression, or other behaviors, and so on. Meanwhile, I continue to believe that a large fraction of the brain, which I call the "Learning Subsystem", including the whole cortical mantle, striatum, cerebellum, and some other stuff, "learn from scratch", a term that I'm using in a very specific way defined here; and meanwhile I think the rest of the brain, which I call the "Steering Subsystem", particularly including the hypothalamus and brainstem, is a repository of innate "business logic" such as "if I'm fertile, increase my sex drive", as discussed here. For sensory input processing, there's a nice story that goes along with that two-subsystems picture. The sensory input (I claim) has to split, with one copy going to the Learning Subsystem, and another going to the Steering Subsystem. The former system treats the input as input data for a learning algorithm, and the latter system uses that input to calculate specific ecologically-relevant things to trigger corresponding reactions. This split is critical, for theoretical reasons explained in §3.2.1 here (I won't repeat it here). And this hypothesis seems to work really well for other senses: For example, visual information goes both to visual cortex in the Learning Subsystem and the superior colliculus in the Steering Subsystem; taste goes to both gustatory cortex in the Learning Subsystem and the gustatory nucleus of the medulla in the Steering Subsystem; and so on. Relevant basics on smell neuroanatomy …But I'm more confused about smell - particularly how it gets to the Steering Subsystem. Let's start with some background on smell. The first step is "olfactory sensory neurons" which can actually detect odorants. "The sensory neurons are embedded in a specialized olfactory epithelium that lines part of the nasal cavity, approximately 5 cm2 in area in humans. … The axons of olfactory sensory neurons project to the ipsilateral olfactory bulb [where they] terminate on the dendrites of olfactory bulb neurons within bundles of neuropil called glomeruli that are arrayed over the bulb's surface…. In each glomerulus, the sensory axons make synaptic connections with three types of neurons: mitral and tufted projection (relay) neurons…and periglomerular interneurons, which encircle the glomerulus.…In each glomerulus, the axons of several thousand sensory neurons converge on the dendrites of approximately 40 to 50 relay neurons. … Each glomerulus, and each mitral and tufted relay neuron connect...

In this episode, we discuss big picture conceptual issues related to functional neuroanatomy, with Dr. Hal Blumenfeld. Specific topics covered include the purpose of the neurological exam, the brain as a distributed network, Korbinian Brodmann's areas, the hierarchical and topographic organization of the brain, horizontal cell layers of the cortex, lateralization, cortical columns, the corticospinal tract, and the frontal lobes.

The war on drugs has caused a toxic street supply and increased the harms on those who struggle.  Toronto Public Health provides free and anonymous drug testing services through The Works and other harm reduction organizations, which tracks what chemicals and adulterants are ending up in various black-market substances.  I discuss the pathophysiology and impacts on those using the substance that is being adulterated.  Drug dealers add these adulterants to save money and increase potency/addictiveness.  Providing regulated safe drug supply alternatives is the best way to overcome this and help individuals struggling to move towards recovery. Exploring the neuroscience and anatomy behind substance-use disorders is a powerful way to understand why we use substances and what factors make us susceptible to addiction.  Substance-use or behavioural addictions require: a drug/behaviour that stimulates the Nucleus Accumbens and Ventral Tagmental Apparatus (motivation-incentive-reward circuits), an organism made susceptible by bio-psycho-social factors and adverse childhood experiences, and stress.  After reading the current literature and working clinically in this field it is easy to understand why substance-use disorders and addictive behaviours can be so difficult to overcome without effective supports. I go over recent updates in cannabis research regarding lung health and evidence-based harm reduction tips to avoid negative consequences.  Legalization and regulation have reduced many of the perceived harms of cannabis, which has improved our ability to navigate safe/effective use.  I wrap up by discussing how community crisis intervention teams deter the need for police/paramedics responding to mental health crisis calls.  This includes how we greatly need to increase funding of social services and community resources to increase public safety, decrease the number of individuals struggling with homelessness, and empower our communities to overcome mental health and addiction challenges.

Holly, thank you for being here. I was wondering if you would introduce yourself.   Holly Healy  Sure. Thanks for having me. My name is Holly Healy and I have been a board member for two years now. I'm also a family nurse practitioner, and I practice in pediatrics for the past 17 years.   Carrie Schmitt  So I'm really excited to have this conversation because I think you could really help other family nurse practitioners, pediatricians, who also are on the frontlines of encountering people who are coming with concerning behaviors or some school reports that they can't make sense of. So tell me a little bit about how you got connected with the STAR Institute?   Holly Healy  Sure, I'd love to. So when my oldest who is now 11, was around four or five, we started to notice some behavioral differences with her and a lot of dysregulation, so it manifested in behavioral outbursts, and just really difficulty with sleep. And so we went to a counselor to try to figure it out, because we kept saying, well, she's anxious, she's anxious. So the counselor handed me, Lucy Jane Miller's book, and my husband and I read it together. And it was like a revelation. And we thought, this is her. This is this exactly explains, you know, what is going on. And so I read as much information as I could, and we got her into OT, we started changing things at home. And we didn't see a lot of progress at first. And so reading the book, I realized in going on the website, I realized, oh, there are trained OTs, by star, that have gone through a mentorship program. So when we finally kept hitting several walls, you know, with our OT treatment, I drove her four miles to the closest OT, who had been mentored by Starr and took her to Asheville, North Carolina, and we met with this amazing therapist, and the first thing she told me was, you know, we see things differently, we have a different lens in which we see children. With sensory processing disorder, she took two hours, and it changed our lives. And so from there, we launched into implementing a sensory diet every day, we got her into chiropractor, we got her into vision therapy, and then we also got her into horseback riding. So we learned that this wasn't just a once a week, go to OT, you know, and it was more this is, you know, this is part of like your life, this is how you need to change things daily. And, you know, it wasn't drastic, it was just small changes, and how we would view how does she need to start her day off, you know, it may not be what normal kids do to start their days. And so I also got myself certified with at the time it was called integrated listening systems, they've changed now to unite. So I got myself certified, and we put her through the focus program that I did, and got her started on the dream pads. So we just really implemented everything because we were honestly desperate to get her to a happy place. And, but also, I just, I'm a big fan of just learning information. And with her OT, I could never go back into the room. I didn't know what, what they were doing and how he could help her. So with with that particular visit, I stayed with them the whole time with this therapist that was trained by Starr and I was like, Oh, my goodness, this is fascinating, because I had so many questions that I could never really get answered, because the traditional treatment is I'm going to take your child back for an hour, I'll be back. And I'll give you two minutes to let you know what we did. And then I'll see you next week. So it was it was transforming. And so I then implemented it more into my practice. And I started to see children differently, that we're coming in with struggles, and I started to just completely change my perspective on how to help parents, from my own personal experience, and then just educating myself. So that's why I wanted to be a board member to just so I could help. From my perspective as a parent and a professional, help the you know, the organization, get get the word out, you know, how can we make this? How can we make everybody more aware of how to how to integrate it.   Carrie Schmitt  Thank you for sharing that a couple of things jumped out at me. One is, I'm thinking it's Dr. Miller's book, sensational kids. Yes. Okay. Yeah. So we'll put all of this in our show notes. So if you're listening and you're interested in reading This book, sensational kids hope and help for children with sensory processing disorder, you know, that has been transformative for people who are otherwise unaware of sensory processing differences, to read that book and know that this is its own diagnostic category, right, it's not listed in the DSM. Right now the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, it we have had efforts to get sensory processing differences or disorder, you know, classified as such, yet the science is telling us it truly exists. And one of the other things that you pointed out was that in that book, Dr. Miller shares, the development of the Star model. Model is a different approach to occupational therapy intervention for children with sensory processing differences. And one of the key features of our model is that it is fully relational, and that all of our intervention includes one or both parents in every session. And then every fifth or sixth session is parents only. So it's parent education focused, we're in, we recognize that you're the expert in your child, and we have a sensory lens, and we could guide you to adapt your lifestyle, to the new understanding of who your child is through that sensory lens. And it sounds like that's exactly what happened for you, this occupational therapist said, I'm going to put this sensory lens on, tell you what I see about your daughter. And then here are some lifestyle changes that would support improved regulation in her system. And then you as the expert went out and resourced all of those things, and implemented them with the support of a sensory trained occupational therapist. So I loved that. That's   Holly Healy  Yeah, and she gave us you know, some exercises to get started. And then I thought, I used this out of sync child has fun it was it has a bunch of activities in it. So what I did, and this might help parents, you know, it has some great information, I think I got the flashcards to one of the symposiums. But every every morning, I would wake up early, and I would just piece together, okay, this is what I'm going to do today. Because my daughter is a, she's a heavy into the heavy work, she was, you know, her ot really say, give her the heavy work. So I'd put together, you know, some things that would give me about 15 minutes every day of, you know, of activities for her to do says she could start her day off, right. So it's really just, you know, for parents, it's just taking the time to sit down, put together some activities, which I find fun, because I'm active too. And then just making sure each morning that your your child starts off, like getting their system regulated, it's like adults that need to take a run every morning, you know, before they can, you know, function. So it's, um, it was really great to realize this is a daily thing, not just once a week.   Carrie Schmitt  Yeah, right. And to recognize that as children, oftentimes, we don't have the agency or even the knowledge to know her body needs. And as adults we do. And so we all have sensory processing differences. And we all have designed our lifestyles to support them. So I always to parents, like you might wake up with music or your spouse wakes up with a blaring alarm, right. And those sensory differences, because you figured out, this one is more supportive of your regulation to wake up, you may shower at night, somebody else might shower in the morning, like you're doing some people wake up, hit the ground and go for a run, because that's what regulates their nervous system, and they find that supports them to have high levels of performance after at work, or at school, or whatever it is. And so we design our lives in a way that supports our sensory system. And so to then turn and apply that to your daughter recognizing, oh, the heavy work activities, which are push pull, climb, you know, closed chain exercises, like wall squats, or playing like those can be super supportive of regulating our nervous systems. And so you designed for that, to increase her performance and then sent her off to school probably.   Holly Healy  Yeah, yeah, you're exactly right. And it's great now that she's 11 We started this at five. So now she'll say, like, the other night, she just wasn't doing well. And so she said, Can I have my weighted blanket? And can we play my music? And I thought, this is fantastic because it took six years, you know, but with that is so much brain growth of that awareness. Like I know now what I need, you know, so are progressive relaxation. I'll do some time she loves it. So she'll say can you do that? It's, you know, to a five or six year old, they're not gonna really have that awareness to know what they need. So they're going to either act out or regress. But you know, some someone like her at her age, they get to this, like, more awareness of like, I'm feeling this way, therefore, I can do this, you know. So   Carrie Schmitt  I love that. Advocacy, right, like a beautiful development of self advocacy. I had a teen client one time, and I said, what, you know, what brings you to a star. And she said, something has always been different about my system. She was exceptionally bright, at really high performing school and found knowledge to be really informed, like really helpful to her like, not just from a regulatory standpoint, but it was something that she actively sought out. So she went to the library, and started researching about her own system, found Dr. Miller's book on sensational kids. Wow, read it, took it home to her parents and said, Take me here. Ah, that is fantastic. And other self advocacy story, right? Like, you know, she was able to recognize in herself the differences, and then ask for, you know, a sensory based intervention. Tell me a little bit about this remote, a family nurse practitioner standpoint, what are you seeing in your practice, in terms of awareness around sensory processing differences, or some diagnoses that seem to overlap? Or maybe are missed diagnoses that are good with sensory processing differences?   Holly Healy  Yeah, I'd love to speak to that. So. And you're right, what we typically put in as a diagnosis is I think it's sensory processing difficulties, what it ends up, you know, so you're right, it's very hard sometimes. Because when I see that on a patient's chart, it's just makes me wonder, you know, kind of what we're what we're dealing with, because oftentimes, they'll see other diagnoses at the same time, like behavioral concerns or difficulty sleeping. So what has been most alarming to me over the past few years is that I feel the overdiagnosis of ad ADHD. And it's really been hard because in every provider will will definitely understand this, you get 10 minutes to see a patient. And within that 10 minutes, you can hear bits and pieces of what's going on. But you don't really get the whole picture. And so we have, of course, these very reputable and valid scales that we use for diagnosis, but I was doing some research and looking back through the Vanderbilt scale, which is what we use for ADHD diagnoses. And you know, so many of the questions that are asked have everything to do with sensory and are oftentimes I grab Alyssa J. Miller's book, and I'm reading what are some symptoms that we see with SPD? And then they literally coincide with so much of these questions on the Vanderbilt and as a provider, you love your you love your scales, you know, you love to say, Oh, wonderful, she scored this this she has ADHD with some type of inattentiveness, you know, so we're gonna go ahead, we're going to treat with this, rather than saying, Oh, I noticed you answered a lot of these questions that had to do with behavior, can we? You know, can we talk more about that? Like, is there to notice a trend? Is it always in the mornings? Is it? You know, do you notice that it happens after they've been going to their gymnastics class for an hour. So it really, it's really been difficult for me to see how often kids are now just placed in this silo of this is your disorder. This is your treatment, let's start you on medicine. And I've taken an approach where I won't prescribe, I actually send them to an occupational therapist, and they actually see them back several times before we even go down that avenue. And I had a wonderful fourth grader who she was struggling in one of her classes, and the teacher had, you know, reached out and said, I think she has attention problems. And the mom was really open to me just seen her for a while first before going down that avenue of medication. And I think it was our sixth visit. We did a lot of work together. She come in, I was able to get 20 minutes with her. And I said, you know, about the fifth visit. I told them I'd really love for her to get evaluated for her vision, her developmental vision, not can she see she 2020 And they came back the next week and they said, oh my goodness, like she's having a really hard time with how she's, how her eyes are tracking and we're going to start therapy and the teacher made a couple modifications and everything was drastically improved. And it just took it took time it just and I know it's hard for provider's, because time is just so hard right now with the way our healthcare is set up. But if you just take the time to look at the big picture of the child, you can see that it's not we just look so much at the behavior, not what's behind it, and, and how we can really, you know, help them. And so it's, it's something I struggle with. Because I do see it so often it's, it's, what are the symptoms, here's my diagnosis, and here's my treatment, it's all like A, B, and C, but these kids kids are not, they're not black and white, the key you can't go A, B and C with kids, you have to really, really look at what is going on. And I always observe, tell me what your days like, how are the parents reacting? Are they regulated, that makes a big difference. So I kind of look at the whole holistic picture of what's going on how much activity they get, what calms them, what makes them, you know, overstimulated, so that I can really try my best to help the parents understand that it may not be just just this diagnosis that we, you know, have you fill out in the pit and teachers fill out and you know, we give it a number and we go with it. It's it's so much more than that. So I've tried really hard to educate parents, they send them to the Star website, I send them on to the books. And then I also talk a lot about what are some things they can change in their home? Like, what can they buy? I have sensory swings in my house, we have a whole room set up with a trampoline and balls and balance boards, and, you know, what are some small things they can do every day? To help to help their child to?   Carrie Schmitt  Yeah, I love that you brought up a couple of things. One is diagnosis. And then one is intervention based. In terms of diagnosis, you know, as you mentioned, there's a lot of challenges with practitioners having the time. You know, there's an article that will we'll put in the the notes as well, um, that an occupational therapist actually wrote for nurse practitioners. The author is Jessica wood, and it was published in the journal for nurse practitioners. And it was educating yourself about sensory processing differences in order to help families differentiate. Because we know that there's some studies say up to 11% of children, ages four to 17 have ADHD. And then we have a prevalence study for sensory processing difficulties, which would suggest that five to 16% of children in the general population without any other diagnoses have sensory processing difficulties. And so if we visualize a Venn diagram, there's definitely overlap. And potentially, you. If you do have a diagnosis of ADHD, you do have a likelihood of having some sensory processing features of that right. And so about 40% of children with ADHD also have SPD. But it's really important for practitioners and for parents alike to recognize that while there is overlap in that Venn diagram, ADHD and SPD in brain studies are differentiated, they are different. They are their own differences and disorders. And so one has a neuro ADHD has a neurotransmitter basis. And so a lot of times kids do react well, if they have truly have ADHD to medication, because it is changing the way their brain neurotransmitters function. But if they have, you know, sensory processing difficulties or disorders, we the brain studies are showing that there's actually a difference in their white matter. And so electrical impulses are not reaching the portion of their brain that is responsible for sensory integration. And then there is the overlap, right. And so to take the time to tease it apart to say, you know, maybe this is ADHD with a sensory processing feature, or maybe this is sensory processing difficulties on its own. And they actually do have in our society, a different treatment approach to each. And so I understand that when sometimes people just want the diagnosis, right, like, yeah, it feels like the easy thing to matter to processing differences are not as easy to measure. We leave the office with a diagnosis and a plan and that for some people feels easier than it does to take the lowest level approach. Let's tease it apart. RT, we have some information that they might be struggling with some of the, you know, some of the things we captured on the Vanderbilt assessment scales, maybe these could also very likely be contributed to sensory processing differences. So what maybe what scale? Could we add for sensory processing awareness? Could you visit an occupational therapist? Who's trying to do processing? To your point? Could you try the approaches, which are all natural, used in sensory processing intervention, which are the sensory based bottom up approaches? And if you find that those are helpful, that might be giving us more information to look more closely at the sensory processing features that you're describing? Because if they're effective, it is likely that there's a sensory processing component to, to this complex behavior, whatever it is.   Holly Healy  Yeah, yeah, I totally agree. And that's where the OT Can, can be so helpful with that bottom up approach, because that's how they would approach this, you know, and really help the parents understand that some of that top down approach just isn't always the answer. And we need to help these kids understand that they are still loved, no matter what their behavior is, we have to our job as providers, parents, practitioners, to let them know that they're not different, they're not. There's nothing wrong with them. And I think, you know, to your point, that overlap of other sensory processing add is, is really evident. So I love that you said that, and I and I also see such an overlap with self esteem, and this diagnosis of ADHD. And you know, with that, then comes, perhaps an increased prevalence of depression among some of these kids, because then they realize, I have a label, I have a diagnosis and different and, you know, my youngest was diagnosed with it, and kindergarten, and the teacher sat her by herself, and just literally thought this is this is the way we're going to handle it, we're going to sit her by herself, and then we're going to put her on a wiggle seat, and then she's going to get her work done. And it was horrifying, to see how it affected her self esteem. And all she wanted to do was sit with her friends, and to a six year old, you know, how does that How did she interpret being Senate, you know, being told she has to sit by herself. So it I found a new school where she was in she is currently accepted for, for who she is. And if she has to get up and move around, it's, it's welcomed, and she doesn't sit by herself. She sits with her friends, and she's allowed to be more tactile, which is how she learns. And she's doing amazing. So it's more, you know, let's meet them where they are to help them succeed, no matter how diverse they are, you know.   Carrie Schmitt  Yes, you know, and teachers again, or another person who might be on the front line of this right, recognizing some behaviors. And so we have a passionate STAR about educating with a school based approach, right, or school based focus. Because again, like if teachers are given the sensory lens, they may look at the behavior and be like, Oh, this is interesting, while they are trying to manage 25 and 30 kids and they do need, you know, classroom management approaches. A lot of times the bottom up approach, the sensory based interventions can be used for multiple students at a time and increased regulation across the classroom, not just for the child that might need it. And I find that the children who need it, oftentimes self select into alternative seating options that are tied to the likes of their chair, the, you know, headphones, or your plugs for sensory over responsivity being mindful of where they're sitting, so that they feel safe in their environment. And so all of that is you were educated enough to advocate for your child. And so, you know, that's, that's a wonderful gift. But hopefully some of this conversation would help somebody sitting at home listening, whether they're apparent whether a teacher, whether they're a practitioner, to say, oh, what could we try, like what approaches could increase success and decrease the likelihood of impact on the mental health, self esteem, right child? I actually had a dad one day I was sitting across from him. And we know that there are hereditary components to both of these diagnoses, ADHD and sensory processing difficulties or disorders. And whether that's you know, it could also be Korean hairy needle right as well, there are some studies around that. But he said, Oh, that's what's going on. This is how I was when I was little, like he made that connection. Oh, now I'm making the connection between what you're telling me and how I was as a little. And my teacher put me in a cardboard box. Oh, my goodness. So this is, you know, he's probably in his 40s. But they realized his attention differences. And their solution was to place an entire refrigerator box over his desk today. And I just, I got tears in my eyes, I just thought talk about feeling othered Yes, context of the classroom, like what would happen to your self esteem if your teacher put you in a cardboard box every day. And, you know, I mean, the teacher was, you know, asked to manage a classroom of multiple kids and thought that it would be helpful, right, you know, really help them. And there was something about it that allowed him to focus, but it wasn't the approach that would support you know, I don't know, healthy social mood. Yes. But you know, all that to say like, there are approaches that support a healthy reception of attention and sensory differences within the classroom, that support integration, that support the children to develop healthy self esteem in the context of their education, which they spend an enormous amount of time at school. So how important for them to function well, and to feel good about their contributions.   Holly Healy   And I love I love I love that story, in a sense, because he was literally placed in a cardboard box, but figure that figuratively, he was placed in a cardboard box. And a lot of these kids are just don't have silos the right word, but they're just placed separately, and it's just not the way we should be approaching it. And as accepting as we are now as our society is becoming more accepting of diversity, and embracing people for their gender, their, you know, their pronouns, I feel like this is another example of how we need to move towards embracing the diversity of, of people's sensory needs to and so I've changed my language, even at home. And even when I talk to patients and parents, I'll say, You don't tell my kids, you know, I'm feeling not feeling centered. And I use that word a lot, because I know it's kind of a yoga phrase, it's a practice, but, you know, I'll say, I'm gonna go just onto my yoga mat for 10 minutes, and I'll be back so that I can feel more present. So I've changed my, my verbiage and my vocabulary around my kids. So they know. They understand that that's important. And so I've found my youngest, who's almost seven, she'll give her one of her yoga mats, and she'll, she'll disappear sometimes if she's getting upset over something, and I'll find her up there doing yoga, because she's learned like, Okay, I'm gonna go, like, calm myself down. And that's accepted. That's okay. So I'm hoping that with, with all this transformation of acceptance of diversity in our world, that we can see a sensory place in that too, because I think it's just so you know, so important. No, no more cardboard boxes, you know, should be allowed, it should definitely be, you know, John's a little bit he's getting out of his seat sounds like he needs to maybe go do some a couple jumping jacks, I love using crab and down dog, you know, for kids, like, I think he just needs to do a couple things and then come back. So it's just, you know, that awareness of that diversity, too, I think is so important for teachers to see.   Carrie Schmitt  I could see that yoga poses in particular, would be something that would be really helpful to recenter and reregulate children who might, you know, to your point either need a little bit more movement, or might need some proprioceptive activation at their joints. And so you have a specialty also in yoga, and you utilize that specialty at the preschool level. So tell me a little bit about that.   Holly Healy  Yeah, so I've practice for 25 years myself, and that's, that's my regulation personally. So I practice every day. And I know I'm, I know I love certain poses, personally, that help regulate me. So I teach at a wonderful preschool where the director is very well well versed in, in sensory processing. And so I think that if I if she wanted, I'd be there every day, but I do go in and I teach two year olds up until pre K, transitional kindergarten yoga classes and I, I always do sensory components into my class that they love. And so there's some sort of texture that I bring in. So it might be like for my class on Monday, I cut my daughter's two, two up into these squares because there's a really beautiful texture. And so I'll I'll drape it over the kids kind of fan them with it. So I bring in that we do the movement, a lot of down dog because kids love being upside down. It's wonderful. And I let them be free to move their body and figure out what they need. Because kids need different things. And, and I always close with them in what's called shavasana, which is the, the pose that you it's a resting pose at the end of class, and I do a spray, I have a beautiful room spray that's lemon flavored, and they love it, they say, oh, did you bring the spray. And so they have this, they end with this beautiful sent, and I take their legs and I I kind of rock them side to side because I know that movement is also good. So I'm getting that kind of input for them of movement. And then I kind of rest their feet at a I basically flex them out and then push them a little bit into the ground. So they get that grounding, feeling at the end too. So I integrate it. And I had this wonderful three year old I think who I was just teaching the class and she was doing great. And she was, you know, I could tell she was she would separate herself from the class, she kind of sat aside. But she participated the whole class and I didn't think anything of it, she she loved it. So at the end of class, the teachers came up to me, and they were in tears. They said she'd never participates in anything. In the classroom. She's really anxious. She's very cautious. She doesn't like the loud noises and all the you know, some of the activities that involve a lot of things, she has a difficult time participating. But in this class, she was amazing. So they, they were so excited because they could go home and tell the mom, hey, listen, you know, you know, your daughter did wonderful in yoga, here's things that she really loved. And they were so excited because I think they were trying to help her. They didn't know what approach to take. So I told them, I said, well integrate some movement when you start your class. And instead of coming in sitting down and doing something, maybe move first and, you know, kind of go from there. So it was really, it was really great to see.   Carrie Schmitt  I love that story. I you know, in this conversation, we've talked a lot about intervention approaches and how they differ based on diagnoses. And so we've also talked about, you know, neurodiversity, in terms of everybody's brain is different. Like we have biodiversity, we have neurodiversity, and we affirm that and respect that. And we're hoping to see that spread widely. That there's an acceptance that every brain is beautiful, right? That we come as we are. And so all that to say, you know, ADHD is a real neurotransmitter difference in the brain. And we honor that, and the intervention approaches we have so far, our medication, and then some behavior management techniques, and then sensory processing differences or difficulties disorder is itself also a real thing. Differences in the brain, show us that their brain imaging and the treatment approach for that is the bottom up, approach, the sensory based approach, and what yoga is, is both. And so if you're listening, and you do have a, you know, diagnosis of either or have an overlap, the yogic approach integrates bottom up and by bottom up, I'm being that body sensation and movements are the entry point. And the end result is self regulation, hopefully, to better performance and in whatever you want to achieve. And by top down, we mean that it's cognitively accordingly originated, right. So we use, mediated, I guess might be a good word. And we use cognition to focus our attention oftentimes, and it results in meaning making an understanding and yoga is both right we have the movement of our body and our putting our body in different positions. And then queuing to use our cognition to attend to, to our bodies and and make meaning of it and the result is self regulation. So yeah, I love that as kind of, maybe the wrap up of our conversation today because it marries who you are as a practitioner, and then your passion for differentiating and recognizing through a sensory lens that we can and serve the people that come to us with some challenges by taking the low slow approach by teasing apart, what's behind and underneath the behavior that's on the outside, and that that approach that you practice meets everybody where they are an honors or diversity. Yes, that is perfectly perfectly but I couldn't, could not agree more. That's wonderful. Well, to wrap up, I always ask the same question. So we have a really high value on Curiosity here at Star, we recognize that our thinking needs to evolve as the science evolves. And to do that we try to stay humble and follow the science to find out what we're learning. To do that, sometimes we have to change our minds about something. So I was wondering if you could think of an example of something maybe you once believed, that your thinking has evolved in or that you've changed your mind about?   Holly Healy  That is such a wonderful question. And I, I mean, I think I could speak all day about this, I think, you know, as a parent, when your child has any sort of diagnosis, you feel, there's just one road to take, you know, so for example, my child has an ear infection, we're gonna get treatment, and we'll be better. But it's really not a one road approach or children are not. They're still multi dimensional. And I think what I have learned is, it is so important to look at them from all aspects and take that bottom up approach and not just focus on the behavior. And it's so easy for providers and parents to focus on the behavior without saying why. And so I've learned the importance of why and the importance of looking at the child, my own children and other children I treat and the children in my yoga classes as more of a holistic sensory lens and how we can approach them through different avenues through different roads. Don't just take one road, take many, many roads. And I can't urge parents enough to really, you know, tap into your own sensory self, and I think it will help them so much to understand their children as well, too. I love that.

Welcome to She+ Geeks Out, the podcast bringing you the voices of women+ from all walks of life to share with you what they geek out about-- their passions, talents, struggles, and successes. In each episode, hosts Rachel Murray and Felicia Jadczak will feature different guests and discussions about topics including health, psychology, art, music, learning, and more. Episodes are fun, engaging, and provide some nuggets of information that you can take away. Oh, and yeah, they might be awkward sometimes. That's just how we roll.This season of She+ Geeks Out is unlike any other so far. Together, we will be unpacking what the future of work looks like for different groups of people in terms of diversity, equity and inclusion. In addition to our special guests, listeners will also get to hear snippets from our facilitation team on what DEI really looks like in the workplace from a practical, actionable standpoint. When we think about work and the current hustle culture climate, it's easy to feel overwhelmed.  Today, we spoke with some of our favorite experts, leaders and facilitators about workplace trauma, psychological safety, somatics and emotional intelligence. To begin, we hear from Belma McCaffrey, Founder and CEO of Workbigger, about what it looks like to work from a healthy place. She shares that finding our sense of purpose within ourselves is key to feeling clarity and satisfaction in our jobs. Additionally, we should recognize that we have the power to decide what work should fulfill for ourselves rather than letting society make the decision for us. She also breaks down the concept of the 3 selves: the healthy, wounded and survivor self. SGO's Fatima Dainkeh defines somatics as a technique, theory, movement or method which helps us think about our body and the things we may be processing internally but are unaware of. The idea that things like trauma, joy and pain live within our bodies is traditional among ancient cultures. Then, SGO's Rachel Sadler defines psychological safety as the belief that you will not be punished for speaking up. It is an important component of employee satisfaction and retention, and can help ensure that people are willing to take the intellectual steps necessary for innovation. We live in a fear-based society to the point that a resting state feels unnatural for many people. Dr. Huong Diep elaborates on the concept of intergenerational trauma and offers advice for how we can show up to work in a supportive and authentic way. Next, we hear from Dr. Becca Shanksy, Associate Professor of Psychology at Northeastern University, about the research her team is working on at the university's Laboratory of Neuroanatomy and Behavior. The research focuses on what happens to the brain when a person experiences a traumatic event. They are also aiming to understand the neural circuits that cause darting to happen in certain subsects of female animals. Then, Karina Becerra, Director of Customer Advocacy at Podium, shares about modeling healthy team boundaries and supporting individuals with different backgrounds from her own. She finds that when people are happy and maintain work and life balance, it shows in the work that they do. We also hear from Melanie Ho, author of Beyond Leaning In, on the common psychological and emotional abuse which frequently occurs in the workplace. This is also what has driven much of the great resignation. As we see more young people entering the workforce, we need to be sure that we do not continue to perpetuate these behaviors. If there are no people in power who will hear these concerns and respond with empathy, then an organization will never really make progress in this area. Naomi Seddon joins to share about work life boundaries for women and how she began to implement them for herself. She acknowledges that we all do hold certain biases whether we realize it or not. The first step is to recognize these biases, and then start to work on implementing change on how we perceive others. Dr. Victoria Verlezza, DEI Facilitator at SGO, speaks about how we can show up to support a healthy work environment. When we're supporting a healthy work environment, we want to consider how the systems (ableism, sexism, racism, etc) are playing into our daily interactions and how we think of productivity. As leaders, we need to embrace flexibility and model that same behavior ourselves to show the people we're supervising that it's okay to take time off. In closing, we hear from Elisa Campos-Pratorof Scott's Cheap Flights about addressing psychological safety during the onboarding process of hiring. It is top of mind for everything to be documented and communication to happen asynchronously. It is a major priority of hers to allow new employees to showcase their own style of working rather than giving them specific guidelines to adhere to. Thanks so much for listening.

What is a gut feeling? Should we trust it? There actually is a neuroanatomic basis for the so-called gut feeling – gut feelings exist and making decisions based on gut feelings is generally advantageous. Learn how gut feelings differ from emotions and how the state of the body influences the brain. Dr. Antoine Bechara, PhD is a Professor Psychology and Neuroscience at the University of Southern California. Dr. Bechara received his doctorate from the University of Toronto and completed a fellowship in Behavioral Neurology from the University of Iowa. Dr. Bechara has published over 400 papers and has a Google Scholar H-index of 113. His research focuses on understanding the neural processes behind human decision-making and choices. Along with Dr. Antonio Damasio and Hanna Damasio, Dr. Bechara studied decision-making of patients with injury to the prefrontal cortex, ground-breaking work on the neuroanatomy behind emotion, and how emotion influences cognition. He has used the somatic marker hypothesis to show the relationship between emotion, decision-making, and memory; here is a link to one of his articles 10.1093/cercor/10.3.295).  

In episode 116, Dr. Mikaela Stiver joins us to talk about how she is creating a card game (inspired by Pokemon!) to help students learn. She shares her process, how students are using the cards to learn, how educators are using the cards to teach, and how you can get started if you want to create your own card game for your course.

We've all heard the saying about “the best laid plans….” but there is a caveat to that. Not all unexpected consequences are bad. Sometimes something really amazing occurs unexpectedly.This episode tells the story of Henry Molaison, better known as Patient HM, or “the most important brain in the history of neuroscience.” Henry didn't set out to be a guiding light for the world of neuroanatomy. He just wanted a cure for his epilepsy. But what happened to him and the impact he had on the world is a story that needs to be told.We will also hunt for cobras in India, and try to explain why that plan backfired.Dr Seema Nagpal from Diabetes Canada will join us to explain the often unseen impact diabetes has on people, and to offer some thought on what the consequences of a cure might be.These science stories from history help shed light on the modern research being done on Type 2 Diabetes. Specifically, we highlight the work of SciMar as they examine the hormone hepatalin and the effect it has on glucose levels in people who are living with type 2 diabetes. www.SciMar.ca

In this episode, I will be going over the ways that neuroanatomy informs a clinician about the location of a potential lesion in the central or peripheral nervous system, how that lesion may be manifested, and potential causes and timescales of injury. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/jacostakology/support

It seems like disconnection is the disease of our time, and especially disconnection from self. Many people are feeling stuck and living a life on auto-pilot or simply responding to their life as opposed to creating it. But what if there was more to our existence than what meets the five senses or what we were programmed to believe? In one on one conversations with leading experts in wellness, well-being, consciousness and spirituality, Gateways to Awakening is a platform where leaders share best practices and offer a gateway to help those who are interested expand their awareness and consciousness. I’m your host Yasmeen Turayhi, and I’ve spent the last decade exploring the different modalities from the western traditions to the eastern traditions. I believe we need a bridge, and a place for people to access leading voices in the space of cutting edge ideas on wellness, neuroscience, intuition, quantum physics and , near-death experiences, consciousness. In this podcast, I interview a spectrum of guests from leading psychotherapists, Academics in Quantum Physics, Neuroscience, Neuroanatomy, and experts in Emotional Awareness, Binaural beats, Intuition, and more. I’m the founder of Inner-Knowing School (InnerKnowingSchool.com), a school that trains executives and creatives how to train their intuition for higher awareness, and how to manage their energy instead of their time. We ask these questions and more: How can I understand myself and bring greater awareness into my life? How can I connect with my own voice and intuition and be on the highest life path possible? Is there a greater intelligence, a primordial, intuitive intelligence?
