Neuroscience Foundations for Chiropractors
To truly understand pain, stress, movement and the impact of an adjustment, chiropractors need to understand the nervous system. Twelve classes build that essential foundation, from a single neuron to the cortex, one signal at a time.
NS1.01 Neurobiology of the Neuron
56 Minutes – The basics of one of the two main cell types found in the nervous system.
NS1.02 Neurobiology of the Glial Cells
93 minutes – Be able to discuss the anatomy and function of the most common glial cells.
NS1.03 The Nerve Cell Membrane
48 minutes – this class details how the brain functions and the mechanisms behind nerve impulses.
NS1.04 The Action Potential
42 minutes – gain a solid grasp of the action potential’s role in our nervous system.
NS1.05 The Synapse
50 minutes – Understand the fundamentals of the synapse
NS1.06 Cortical Anatomy
66 minutes – the layers of complexity surrounding the cerebral cortex.
NS1.07 Sensory Processing
60 minutes – a deep dive into the realm of Sensory Processing Integration.
