Neurons develop at the rate of 250,000 neurons per minute during early pregnancy.
A newborn baby’s brain grows about three times its size in the first year.
A stimulating environment for a child can make the difference between a 25percentsign greater ability to learn and 25percentsign less in an environment with little stimulation.

A brain thought to be 2000 years old was unearthed just recently at the University of York in northern England.
Your brain communicates with every cell, tissue and organ in your body by way of the spinal cord and nervous system components.
Interference to this communication caused by spinal subluxations can affect your health on every level.
Chiropractic adjustments correct the subluxations that impact your health on every level. Lifestyle Care can help optimize the function of your nervous system.
Spinal subluxations can subtly or dramatically affect your brain function. Correcting spinal subluxations can improve your brain function.
