We are a group whose members want to learn how manual therapy interfaces with the nervous system, not to manipulate it, but to understand it better so we can interact with it more effectively.

Neuroscience and Pain Science for Manual Physical Therapists The verb (face movement) is more important than the noun (static expression captured by a photo) in interpreting facial expression. How does this apply (or not) to observation of non-facial communication?

Although our bodies appear largely symmetrical on the outside, the way our brains are organised and wired is rather more lop-sided. This is obvious to us in relation to handedness, whereby the brain is better at controlling one hand than the other. ...

"...four related small molecules prevented the development of several cellular traits associated with Parkinson's disease, including the
accumulation of alpha-synuclein deposits in the cell, improper protein
trafficking from one organelle to another, and damage inflicted on the
cells' engines, the mitochondria." Su and Li...ndquist used yeast to find the molecules; makes sense - some synaptic proteins in humans are conserved from the days when nothing but single-cells inhabited the planet (Seth Grant). RT@MedicalFeed

Several structurally similar small molecules appear capable of protecting cells from alpha-synuclein toxicity in multiple models of Parkinson's disease, according to Whitehead Institute researcher
