The Brain
  • The Hemo-Neural Hypothesis - by Christopher Moore (pdf document 500kb)

    "According to Moore's Hemo-Neural Hypothesis, blood is not just a physiological support system but actually helps control brain activity. Specifically, localized changes in blood flow affect the activity of nearby neurons, changing how they transmit signals to each other and hence regulating information flow throughout the brain."

  Muscular System

  • The Psoas Within by Liz Koch - The importance of the Psoas muscle

    "The Psoas is the tenderloin (filet mignon) of the human body. Juicy, supple and dynamic it is the primal messenger of the central nervous system. Your psoas is much more than a muscle. It might be more accurate to say that your psoas muscles are the guardians or spokespersons of the Great Belly, Hara or what's commonly referred to as your Gut Intuition."
