Terms to know
Neuro-Fit System™: a blend of physical, developmental and sensory stimulating exercises which strengthen the neural connections between the brain and the body improving the brain's processing power. The brain based fitness protocol improves spatial awareness, tactile perception, brain timing, motor control, eye tracking, balance and coordination while improving the brain's processing power.
Cognitive: of or pertaining to the mental processes of perception, memory, judgment, and reasoning.
Fine Motor: coordination of small muscle movements which occur e.g., in the fingers, usually in coordination with the eyes.
Gross motor: the abilities usually acquired during infancy and early childhood as part of a child's motor development. These gross movements come from large muscle groups and whole body movement.
Eye Tracking: the process of measuring either the point of gaze ("where we are looking") or the motion of an eye relative to the head.
Eye Teaming (Stereopsis): (from stereo meaning solidity, and opsis meaning vision or sight) is the process in visual perception leading to the sensation of depth from the two slightly different projections of the world onto the retinas of the two eyes.
Vestibular System: responsible for maintaining posture, balance, and spatial orientation. Part of the system is located in the inner ear. It also includes the vestibulocochlear nerve (the eighth cranial nerve) and certain parts of the brain that interpret the information the vestibulocochlear nerve receives.
Executive Proccessing: The concept is used by psychologists and neuroscientists to describe a loosely defined collection of brain processes which are responsible for planning, cognitive flexibility, abstract thinking, rule acquisition, initiating appropriate actions and inhibiting inappropriate actions, and selecting relevant sensory information.
Motor Planning (Praxis): the ability to self- organize. It is the ability of the brain to conceive, organize, and carry out a sequence of unfamiliar actions.
Neurogenesis: the process by which neurons are created all throughout our lives.
Neuroplasticity: the brain's ability to reorganize itself by forming new connections throughout life.
Reflex: An involuntary response to a stimulus and the entire physiological process activating it.
Primitive Reflex: reflex actions originating in the central nervous system that are exhibited by normal infants but not neurologically intact adults, in response to particular stimuli.
Sensory Integration: the neurological process that organizes sensation from one's own body and the environment, thus making it possible to use the body effectively within the environment. Specifically, it deals with how the brain processes multiple sensory modality inputs into usable functional outputs.
Cerebellum: a region of the brain that plays an important role in the integration of sensory perception, coordination and motor control.
Limbic System: is a set of brain structures including the hippocampus, amygdala, anterior thalamic nuclei, and limbic cortex, which support a variety of functions including emotion, behavior, long term memory, and olfaction.
Balance: an ability to maintain the center of gravity of a body within the base of support with minimal postural sway.
Central Nervous System: the part of the nervous system that functions to coordinate the activity. It contains the majority of the nervous system and consists of the brain and the spinal cord.
Cross Midline: The vertical midline of the body is the area where the left and right visual fields overlap, and function as one. Cross midline movement is necessary for the development of bilateral movement skills such as crawling, walking, or seeing depth.
