Welcome to Neurology Inc. – The corporation that keeps your body running in top shape!
Your nervous system is a vastly complex system with the important job of keeping you alive and well. Without different components with distinct responsibilities, your body wouldn’t be able to function at all! Let’s meet the team –
Meet the CEO – The Frontal Lobe
Job Description: The frontal lobe processes information from your senses and other parts of the brain. It creates a central plan to keep the body running smoothly and efficiently. If the frontal lobe isn’t working , the rest of the brain has no way of being managed or regulated.
How it helps YOUR body: The frontal lobe governs EVERYTHING about how you live your life. Your motor function, problem solving, memory, language, judgement, impulse control, and social behavior all comes from this area of the brain. The frontal lobe makes you, YOU.
Meet the COO – The Cerebellum
Job Description: The frontal lobe processes information from your senses and other parts of the brain. It creates a central plan to keep the body running smoothly and efficiently. If the frontal lobe isn’t working , the rest of the brain has no way of being managed or regulated.
How it helps YOUR body: A healthy cerebellum is the cornerstone to any balanced movement. It is what keeps you upright when you ride a bike, graceful when you dance, and strong when you lift a weight. It keeps your body physically in check, making it a crucial aspect of a healthy and athletic lifestyle.
Meet the Managers – The Brainstem & Spinal Cord
Job Description: The brainstem connects the brain to the spinal cord. It governs some of the most vital bodily functions such as breathing, hunger, thirst, heart rate, and blood pressure. The spinal cord runs down the length of the spine and is made up of bundles of nerve fibers that transmit neural signals related to the frontal lobe’s plan. It is the “main highway” of communication from the brain to the body.

It is what keeps you upright when you ride a bike, graceful when you dance, and strong when you lift a weight. It keeps your body physically in check, making it a crucial aspect of a healthy and athletic lifestyle.
MEET THE WORKERS – THE PERIPHERAL NERVES
Job Description: The peripheral nerves act as a direct relay system between the spinal cord and the rest of the body. They are the “smaller highways” that transmit messages directly to muscles/organs. They implement the final steps of the central plan initiated by the frontal lobe.
How they help YOUR body: The brain is useless if it does not have the means necessary to implement an action. Peripheral nerves are what actually moves your hand to pick up a coffee cup, what keeps your heart pumping correctly, and what moves your mouth when you speak. They are the gears that keep the engine running.
In order to be completely healthy and happy, all of these components must cooperate effectively. If one element is not working, the whole system can become defective. Ensuring a healthy brain is the first step in ensuring a healthy body. Let the Cardiff Health and Wellness team organize a plan that works best for you and your unique neurological makeup!
