Interested in details about your spinal cord and the nerves that come from it? In this episode, we give foundational knowledge about the anatomy and function of the spinal cord. We also discuss peripheral nerves that influence our brain and bodies. The spinal cord is responsible for some of our reflexes and it is the pathway that all nerves feed through to move and generate sensation in our bodies. Unfortunately, sometimes there are injuries to the nerves that influence a person’s ability to perform certain functions. Our occupational therapists talk through the basics of what these injuries may look like and how to recover some of the lost function!
Show Notes
Brainthropology
Noun /brānTHrəˈpäləjē/
the study of optimizing brain health for peak performance in life
the science of the human brain, especially the study of its influence over sensations, emotions, mental abilities, and function in daily life 


You carry around a three-pound, wrinkly mass of tissue in your head that is the control center, enabling you to simultaneously think, move, feel emotions, and sense the world around you. It controls every single thing you will ever do including every breath, thought, emotion, and heartbeat.
This amazing supercomputer is your brain and you have the ability to improve its functioning no matter your age or condition. On this podcast, we educate our listeners on the potential of the human brain, how to optimize its abilities, and equip you to find solutions when it has been altered by life, illness, or an injury.
Our unique programming offers practical applications, exercises, expert interviews, and therapist feedback on issues we have been tackling together as a team for the last 20+years. We hope to share our knowledge and experience to empower and encourage you to live a life filled with hope, joy, and purpose.
