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.

 Attire/Supplies:

Bring comfortable, loose-fitting clothes. Some of these approaches require to touch an exposed skin, we encourage you to bring a bath towel, lab clothes, and appropriate undergarments so that you are comfortable.

Short fingernails are required for some techniques.

Due to potential chemical sensitivities of your classmates, please refrain from wearing perfumes or oils to class.

You are welcome to bring a treatment table.

If you are unable to bring a treatment table, you can bring a yoga mat for use on the banquet table.

Requisite Preparation for the Class – Pre-Study:

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.
