It’s only been since just about 1998 that the cerebellum has been considered as more than just a brain part responsible for motor competencies. It was researcher Schmahmann that published three back-to-back game-changing papers in 1990, 1997 and 1998. All three investigated the role of the cerebellum in cognition, to some extent.
This is not the first time and, based on recent findings in the literature, I believe it won’t be the last time I write about the non-motor roles of the cerebellum.
Dr. Kacie Flegal, a pediatrics chiropractor, claims a positive correlation between keeping toddlers and babies barefoot and intelligence.
The cost of being right… There is no doubt that being right can be empowering. That being said, is it actually contributing to our growth?
Gifted children are highly sensitive to their environment. They react with heightened emotional and behavioural responses, more than do children of average intelligence.
ADHD affects 5% of children and is characterized by impulsiveness, hyperactivity and inattention. ADHD is also associated with abnormalities in the pre frontal cortex, cerebellum and basal ganglia. These areas are all involved in sensorimotor control.
It appears to be that if kids with ADHD get distracted, barn owls do not. On that note, researchers at John Hopkins University in Baltimore are studying these birds in order to better understand how attention actually works.
I find it fascinating how children singing a song can seemingly make more sense in interpreting biomechanics than those supposedly skilled professionals that swear just about exclusively by the so called evidence that has been provided.
Could there be a link between functional affections of the perineum and posture? Musculoskeletal pain, according to A. Foisy and colleagues has, is underestimated in the approach of chronic pelvic pain.
Pourrait-il y avoir un lien entre les affections fonctionnelles du périnée et la posture ? Les douleurs musculo-squelettiques, d’après A. Foisy, sont sous-estimées dans l’approche des douleurs pelviennes chroniques.
