Brain reorganization

 

The proposed therapy aims to rebuild the neural connections, in order to obtain a significant improvement in bodily functions (of all kinds), which are all regulated from the brain. All this based on simple non-invasive repetitive stimuli, and adapted to each patient based on their specific needs.

 

To understand the work to be developed and the objectives, some basic points about the physiology of the brain must first be understood.

 

1. Introduction to neural connections

 

All cells have an electrical charge inside (due to the difference in concentration between the salts existing inside them and the salts existing in the medium where the cell is located). The connections between neurons are bidirectional electrical impulses.

The synapse is the space between neurons that allows their interconnection. This interconnection is done in two different ways:

 

Electrical synapse: in this case, the neurons are attached to each other by proteins.

 

Chemical synapse: in this case, the space between the neurons is greater, and they communicate with each other through axons and dendrites.

 

Neurons are cells specialized in transmitting electricity, which allows them to connect with each other and with other cells. To do this, they modify the permeability of their membrane, and through the axon they allow the salts (sodium, potassium, calcium ions,...) to leave the neural cell, which causes an electrical impulse that releases some chemical substances elaborated inside of them (neurotransmitters) which are received by another neuron or cell through the dendrites. These neurotransmitters are the information that neurons exchange with other cells, and that allow to build of any type of function in the human body. If for some reason, this interconnection is not carried out properly, some functions are altered (they are deficient or do not exist) which also causes a situation of stress at the cellular level, which is related to an adverse reaction that can manifest itself in various ways (epilepsy , dystonia, hemiplegia, ...)

 

The causes that for the neural interconnection process not work properly are divided into four groups:

 

1- Lack of maternal stimulation

2- Genetic dysfunction

3- Lack of oxygen (hypoxia)

4- Stress and extreme panic

 

2. The plasticity of the brain

 

"Neural plasticity" is the ability of the nervous system to adapt its structural and functional organization to some stimuli and the environment. The human brain is malleable.

Brain pathways for input and output of information can be strengthened, repaired and/or created by forcing their operation through stimuli.

 

Contrary to conventional wisdom, neural plasticity is NOT inversely proportional to age. Said neural plasticity is the same at any age, and allows new neural connections to be created at all times, with the appropriate stimulation.

 

Even if there are completely damaged areas of the brain (with loss of specific functions), these affected areas can be compensated through neural plasticity by stimulating other areas of the brain that allow similar functions to be carried out.

 

The important thing is to find the right rhythm of stimuli, which allows the brain to assimilate the advances in an orderly way.

 

3. Evolutionary profile of the neurological organization

 

Humans are the only living beings that are born without being fully formed. Our brain at birth has not yet fully developed. The complete development of the brain takes place during the first 7 years of life.

 

The neurological evolution of the brain is marked by the functions acquired in the different stages of growth. Through the information input and output routes, these functions and their status on a specific date (neurological age) can be analyzed.

 

The routes of entry and exit of information can be divided into:

 

• Entry routes (visual, auditory, and tactile)

• Exit routes (mobility, spoken language and manual function)

 

In any of our children (regardless of the dysfunction they suffer from), their neurological age is lower than their chronological age (in more or less proportion). Our goal is to shorten this gap as much as possible, in order to reduce the gap between the neurological age and the chronological age (up to the limit of normality). In this process the functions should be restored and the symptoms should disappear.

 

In short, we will identify the causes for the problem so we can act on them. We don't think it's interesting to act based on the symptoms.
