How the brain works
Four ways to understand your brain
Structure, chemistry, electricity and support cells. Understanding each one explains why Neuro EP treatments work, and why they’re different from medication.
Where things happen
Neuro-Anatomy
Different sites in your brain are responsible for specific functions: vision, hearing, sensation and pain. Training different locations produces different outcomes.
- The Pain Network
- The homunculus body map
- Why phantom pain exists
How neurons talk
Neuro-Chemistry
Neurons connect at synapses using chemical neurotransmitters. Most neuro-active drugs work here, which explains both their benefits and their side effects.
- Synapses & neurotransmitters
- How medications work
- Why side effects happen
The electrical signals
Neuro-Physiology
The power, frequency and connectivity of your brainwaves determine how intensely each brain function, or symptom, is expressed.
- Brainwave power
- Frequency bands
- Pathway connectivity
The support system
Non-Neuronal Control
Glial cells such as astrocytes, oligodendrocytes and microglia support, insulate, feed and protect neurons, shaping how well your brain works.
- Astrocytes
- Oligodendrocytes & myelin
- Microglia & inflammation
