Welcome to today's episode where Dr. Michael & May Bagnell uncover the incredible functions of the cerebellum—the "silent maestro" of your brain! Located at the base of your skull, the cerebellum controls everything from coordination and balance to more complex motor functions. But did you know it also has a surprising impact on your emotions, cognition, and mental health?
Join us as we explore how this part of the brain helps you move smoothly, from reaching for a cup to mastering the art of yoga. But when something goes wrong with the cerebellum, it can lead to issues with coordination and even psychiatric conditions like ADHD, anxiety, and depression.
We'll discuss Interactive Metronome and other therapies that can help improve cerebellar function and give you tools to train your brain. Whether it’s through yoga, Pilates, or Tai Chi, there are ways to strengthen the cerebellum and unlock better brain function.
You’ll also learn how your brain maps body movements and how the cerebellum relies on these maps to keep your body moving in harmony. So, if you’ve ever wondered why new movements challenge you—or why you might feel a bit off balance sometimes—this episode is for you!
Tune in for all this and more as we explore the silent but powerful cerebellum and its crucial role in mental and physical health.
