Neural Systems Kinesiology

This is exciting new work developed by Hugo Tobar. It has recently been described by a leading international kinesiologist as the most advanced Kinesiology in the area of the brain. It was developed for LEAP practitioners to give them advanced training in the areas of brain function, vision, auditory system, the vestibular system, in fact in all areas of neurology. The Neural Emotional Pathways gives the practitioner the ability to work with the neurology of primary emotions, these underlie most behaviour patterns, it is an extremely powerful technique and is currently very popular all over the world.

Brain Hologram 3 (The Cerebellum Hologram)

Learn indepth formattin g for the cerebellum, the vermis, and the deep cerebellar nuclei. The participants will also learn indepth connectivity, function, neurochemistry of the cerebellum. The cerebellum is very important in learning, emotion and other functions as suggested by Schmahmann and his collegues who propose the following as a function for the cerebellum:

"When cognitive performance, affect and autonomic function are considered in the light of the understanding of cerebellar motor deficits, then intact cerebellar functi on facilitates actions harmonious with the goal, appropriate to context, and judged accurately and reliably according to the strategies mapped out prior to and during the behaviour. In this view, the cerebellum detects, prevents and corrects mismatches b etween intended outcome and perceived outcome of the organism's interaction with the environment. In the same way as the cerebellum regulates the rate, force, rhythms, and accuracy of movements, so might it regulate the speed, capacity, consistency and app ropriateness of mental or cognitive processes. In this model, the cerebellar contribution to cognition is one of modulation rather than generation"

Then they go on to say:

"We have suggested that the cerebellum serves as an oscillation dampener, mainta ining function steadily around a homeostatic baseline. When the cerebellar component of the distributed neural circuit is lost or disrupted, the oscillation dampener is removed. Mental processes are imperfectly conceived, erratically monitored and poorly performed. There is unpredictability to social and societal interaction, a mismatch between reality and perceived reality, and erratic attempts to correct the errors of thought or behaviour"

There are a lot of different holograms allowing different ways to access the cerebellum.

2 days, prerequisite: brain hologram 1

Brain Hologram 4 (The Spinal Cord Hologram)

Learn how to format the spinal cord, the sensory motor system and the autonomic nervous system. There are formatting systems for the spinal cord nuclei, the cranial nerves, the spinal nerves, the spinal tracts and the cutaneous receptors.

The sensory motor system is very important in learning difficulties and is almost always implicated in problems with the primitive reflexes. This system is very important with coordination problems and autonomic problems

2 days, prerequisite: Brain Hologram 1

Brain Hologram 5 (The Amygdala Hologram)

The Brain Hologram Level 5 workshop includes formatting, connectivity and holograms for the Amygdala, the Basal Ganglia, the Septum and the basal forebrain. There is a lot of functional information on these including more functional information on the Hippocampus. The Basal forebrain is involved with the neural circuitry of emotion, and affective disorders.

Indepth study of the microanatomy of the basal forebrain, including the amygdala and the basal ganglia. Study of the neurology of taste and smell.

Holograms for the Amygdala, basal forebrain, and the olfactory bulb. Formatting the for the limbic tracts, basal forebrain, and the chemical senses of taste and smell.

2 days, Prerequisite: Brain Hologram 1

Primitive Reflexes and The Brain Stem 1

Learn about the neurology of the primitive reflexes, sensory motor applications, and how to format them. There is a formatting system for the 12 major primitive reflexes, and formatting for the major brainstem structures, the cerebellum, and sensory motor components involved with the primitive reflexes.

Reflexes are neurological events run by the cere bellum and the brainstem. These reflexes are triggered by some type of sensory input.

Imbalances in the primitive reflexes can lead to all kinds of developmental problems.

In this workshop the reflexes are divided into three neurological categories according to their input. These categories are spinal nerve, vestibular nerve, and trigeminal nerve.

There is an indepth account of the neurology and the sensory receptors involved and how to format each reflex neurologically.

2 days prerequisite: AP and the brain or brain integration 1 or LEAP, or Brain Formatting

recommended: knowledge of how to test the primitive reflexes, Brain hologram 4 (the spinal cord hologram), Sally Godard's book on the primitive reflexes

Primitive Reflexes and The Brainstem 2

Following on from the first workshop this will look at reflexes that respond to sensory input from the Visual System, Auditory System, Smell and taste. Combined with the first workshop which deals with touch, proprioception and Vestib ular sensory modalities there is a sensory formatting system for the 7 senses.

Prerequisite: Primitive Reflexes and the Brainstem 1

The Visual Pathways Hologram

This workshop has an extensive analysis of the complex neurology of the visual system. Learn how the brain computes colour, form, motion, and disparity to peform complex object recognition and visual spatial working memory.

Learn about the neurology of the oculomotor system and how the brain controls the movement of the eyes and how much light it lets into the eyes. There are extensive holograms including holograms of the retina, Lateral geniculate Nucleus, Superior Colliculus, Suprachiasmatic nucleus and extensive cortical holograms

Neural Emotional Pathways 1

In the Neural Emotional Pathways Workshop you will learn how to format for specific nuclei in the brain stem includin g the periaquaductal grey matter (PAG). This is the grey matter of the reptilian brain. The amygdaloid primary emotions have circuits through the PAG affecting various neurological functions in the brain and body. This will enable you to perform the FE AR, the RAGE, the PANIC, the SEEKING and the CARE circuits which will give you a more indepth amygdala circuit (AF/PCC). You will also learn the Anatomy and Physiology of these circuits through the Triune Brain.

4 days, Prerequisite: AP & the Brain, or Brain integration 1, or LEAP, or Brain Formatting

Neural Emotional Pathways 2

The Neural Emotional Pathways level 2 is an extension of the level 1 workshop. There is a formatting system for the thalamus and the reticular formation. The students will also learn about the structu re, function, and connectivity of the thalamus and reticular formation.

This workshop looks at the neurological systems of male & female sexuality or the LUST system, the PLAY system, the CONFUSION system, and systems for the three states of normal consciousness, deep sleep or the NREM system, dreaming sleep or the REM system, wakefulness or the WAKING system.

The emotional states of being of the Neural Emotional Pathways 1 have a huge impact on these systems. This workshop shows you how to integrate the systems in both of these pathways with truly profound results.

3 days Prerequisite: Neural Emotional Pathways 1

Neural Emotional Pathways 3

In the Neural Emotional Pathways level 3 Workshop you will learn how to format for specific systems involved with consciousness. There are a number of interesting theories around on the neural correlates of consciousness , learn how to format for these structures. There will also be a study of neural disorders, how to format them, and how to integrate the Neural Emotional Pathways level 1 work with the systems of consciousness and disorders. \par \par Looks at a model of mind and consciousness. Transformation from emotional sytems to pure consciousness. There is a model of the neurlogy of consciouness incorporating the extended reticular activating system.

Looks at the neurobiology of disorders of the mind and consciousness such as schizophrenia, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, bipolar disorder, autism, eating disorders, learning and memory.

This workshop looks at more disorders of the psyche and consciousness. It will look at the neurology of systems such as Feeding, Eating Disorders, Stress, Schizophrenia, Anxiety, Obsessive-compulsive etc . It utilises the now world famous "Modes of Processing" (MOPS) as first developed in the level 1 of this workshop. This workshop is very rarely taught, as a result people who have not done the level 1 can do the level 3 with a special refresher. This will be run on application
