Our workshop introduces a groundbreaking, aroma-based technique to swiftly and naturally de-escalate these intense emotional situations.
A landmark study published in PLOS ONE delves into the systemic effects of integrating service dogs into families with a child diagnosed with ASD. Using standardized scales like the Autism Behavior Inventory Short Form (ABI-S), they saw a notable decrease of 14 points (13%) in overall autism symptoms.
While the children’s overall anxiety did not see any significant changes, the parents did show a notable difference in their anxiety levels.
In a groundbreaking study, researchers delved into the effects of prenatal stress, specifically noise stress, on the hippocampal region of female rat offspring. More importantly, they investigated how postnatal environmental enrichment can mitigate these effects. This research is not just a leap in neuroscience but also beams a ray of hope in understanding stress management in school children.
Researchers used a combination of Cerebrolysin, a drug that promotes brain healing and growth, and environmental enrichment. The study suggests that the combination of Cerebrolysin and environmental enrichment was more effective in promoting recovery from stroke than either treatment alone. This synergistic effect points to the potential benefits of combining pharmacological and non-pharmacological approaches in stroke rehabilitation.
Imagine a world where strokes aren’t just treated but prevented. Recent studies suggest that Sensory Enrichment Therapy, inspired by research on animal environments, could be the key to mitigating the effects of stroke-related brain injuries. This therapy has shown promise in protecting our brain cells by reducing a harmful process called ferroptosis, which contributes to cell death during a stroke.
In this Webinar, our program director discusses ways of helping a low functioning brain to develop the tools they need to associate shapes of letters with sounds and meanings, etc.
The findings of this study highlight the potential of combining antidepressants with environmental enrichment to accelerate the medication’s effects.
These results shed light on the importance of environmental factors and neuroplasticity in the treatment of depression.
A recent study published in the journal Experimental Biology and Medicine provides strong evidence that EE can have neuroprotective effects in animal models of neurodegenerative diseases.
It also identifies a number of potential mechanisms by which EE may protect neurons from damage.
Parents want to know as early as possible if their child has autism, especially if they already have a child with autism.
With some training, you can play an active partnership role with your family doctor or pediatrician to observe and record your child’s development.
Included in this article, you will find 4 simple tests you can do at home when your child is as young as 2 months old.
Environmental enrichment has been shown to help the brain compensate for challenges and conditions, and in this study, researchers investigated if it can help reverse the damaging effects of sleep deprivation on the hippocampus, with results suggesting that it promotes neuronal repair and plasticity to reverse the negative effects of sleep deprivation on neural stem cell proliferation and differentiation.
