Basal Ganglia part 1: Anatomy and Function

Uploaded on Aug 11, 2010

This is a presentation on the basal ganglia, an area of the brain, highly involved with fine motor processing. Areas within the basal ganglia are decreased during Parkinson's disease and other conditions involving motor dysfunction. As a student in Chiropractic school, I am presenting this topic to the Neurology Club on campus.

Chiropractic Neurologists work to understand the vast nervous system of the human frame, and learn how to effectively restore areas of dysfunction by applying different forms of natural stimulation and chiropractic techniques.

With the most up-to-date research in the field, we know that the brain is plastic, and has the ability to change and adapt to the stimulus it receives. Functional (Chiropractic) Neurologists seek to increase functionality in areas that are weak. Many people have already had amazing stories of restored function and renewed health due to their competent practitioner. Although no two people are alike and no two neuronal systems respond the same way to the same stimulus. Therefore, treatment is highly induvidualized. Often it can be very difficult to pinpoint root causes of a person's pain or dysfunction.

What I love about this profession is the passion embedded in finding root causes of a person's pain, as opposed to treating a patient's symptoms. Through proper care, diagnosis, and imagination, we can enhance our treatments to better suit our patients, and give hope to those who have none.

Dystonia Treated with Surgically Implanted Pacemaker

Uploaded on Aug 14, 2008

Approximately 125,000 Americans suffer from dystonia. The condition is a result of the brain firing abnormally, sending impulses of electricity to muscles that causes them to contract constantly. The treatment Veronica's doctor, UCLA neurosurgeon Dr. Antonio DeSalles, recommended was to surgically implant a pacemaker device to stop the impulses and block the transmission of electricity to the muscles.

The procedure involves first implanting the electrodes and threading the wires into the patient's brain. A second operation connects the electrodes to a compact generator. The pacemaker is then programmed to battle the brain. More at http://www.uclahealth.org/body.cfm?id=930

Crooked Twisted Neck Cervical Dystonia Spasmodic Torticollis

Uploaded on Mar 8, 2007

Spasmodic Torticollis (ST), and/or cervical dystonia, is a neurological condition thought to originate in the basal ganglia portion of the brain. A disturbance in the balance of chemicals produced in the brain may be responsible. Most doctors have never heard of it. Thus, many people are mis-diagnosed. www.spasmodictorticollis.org 1-888-445-4588
