The Developing Brain

Roger Sperry won a Nobel Peace Prize in 1981 for his work with the developing brain. He showed that 90% of the stimulation and nutrition to the brain is from the movement of the spine. The spine is the “motor” that drives the brain. You are born with approximately 25% of your brain so the other 75% develops and grown as you create input for it. The brain is built from the bottom up and this starts with movement and sensory exploration. Sensory stimulation and feedback drive the brain, but the motor system drives sensory stimulation—you can’t have one without the other. So what happens when your spine is subluxated? Can nerve interference affect the feedback to the brain, thus effecting its stimulation?  This as stated earlier can limit your life potential. So it is so important to maintain a healthy spine and nervous system from a very young age.

Robert Melillo is an expert and pioneer in the area of functional disconnection of the brain and its relationship to learning and behavioral disorders. Dr. Melillo works with children with neurobehavioral disorders in the US.  His research shows that disorders like ADHD, Asperger’s and autism can be related to an imbalance in the brain. His Brain Balance Achievement centers work with children both cognitively and physically to restore balance between the brains hemispheres with some astounding results. As an infant or child movement is essential for brain growth, as Sperry’s research indicates. 

As an adult what happens if you stop stimulating your brain. Research has shown that the incidence of dementia can be reduced by as much as 60% by leading an active healthy lifestyle.  Thus without stimulation by movement an elderly brain can shrink and a young brain may not develop adequately.
