June is Migraine awareness month.

Did you know that women are three times more likely to experience migraines than men, often linked to hormonal fluctuations. There is also a genetic component, meaning they can run in families.

Did you know that laughing at a joke is no simple task as it requires activity in five different areas of the brain.

The left side of the cortex (the layer of cells that covers the entire surface of the forebrain) analyzes the words and structure of the joke. The brain's large frontal lobe, which is involved in social emotional responses, becomes very active. The right hemisphere of the cortex carries out the intellectual analysis required to "get" the joke. Brainwave activity then spreads to the sensory processing area of the occipital lobe (the area on the back of the head that contains the cells that process visual signals). Stimulation of the motor sections evokes physical responses to the joke.

“A laugh a day will keep the doctor away”

Today we want to shine some light on this young man! For the past 6 years, we have watched him grow into the outstanding young man he is today. He has overcome his illness and no longer requires neurological intervention. While we are very happy for him and his family, we will miss his big smile. Congratulations!

Did you know that your eyeballs are a direct physical extension of the brain. They are not just connected to your brain; they are made of brain tissue. From an evolutionary and developmental standpoint, the eyeballs are actually outgrowths of the brain. The retina is neural tissue, not skin or muscle.

April is Autism Awareness Month. It is celebrated to promote understanding, acceptance, and support for individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. Autism spectrum disorder affects all nationalities, all creeds, all religions, all races and both sexes. Early identification, treatment, and support matters! Many important outcomes for children’s lives are significantly improved with early diagnosis and treatment.

Did you know that the cerebellum helps distinguish expected from unexpected sensations. This is why you cannot tickle yourself effectively.

Have you ever wondered why listening to your favorite songs boosts your mood? The answer is that music lights up your brain's reward parts and releases the feel-good chemicals dopamine and oxytocin. Dopamine release may also help improve your memory because your brain creates a positive connection between a memory (or a piece of information) and the song you are listening to. So, don't delay in creating that study playlist.
