BrainAhead

We use #clinicalknowledge and #neurologicalscience to target the growing needs of classrooms in Grade K-5.

Our program doesn’t just help students, it’s great for educators too. Take it from Nancy, she loves the Brain Bootcamp exercises! Everyone can benefit from a little physical activity in the classroom. Your brain will definitely thank you 🧠

Have you ever wondered what’s going on inside the #brain of a #stressedoutstudent? We’re covering this topic in our latest blog post. Read the post here: https://t.co/YTo27Rmjg4

In the mood for a laugh? We are! #brainjokes #edtech #edtechbridge

Q: What kind of brain images do dogs and cats like best?
A: PET scans!!

Movement is a great way to calm down the limbic system and get the frontal (or cognitive) system back into the driver’s seat! The brain activating exercises in our Brain Bootcamp course fire up the frontal lobe, letting it apply the brakes on the limbic system. #edtech

Happy, happy Friday!

Q: When does the brain become afraid?
A: When it loses its nerve!

Did you know that your school can be funded for certain programs in response to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic? The BrainAhead program meets US federal funding eligibility requirements as well as multiple state and local grant requirements. (1/2)

[BrainAhead @BrainAhead_]

In other words, individual educators, schools and districts can secure funding for the purchase and implementation of BrainAhead! Learn more on our website. (2/2) #edtech #brainahead #edtechfunding #educatorfunding #edtechbridge #learningloss

Fortunately, retained primitive reflexes can be remediated! ​​The BrainAhead Developmental Foundations course provides step-by-step, specific and slow movements to integrate these reflexes. #edtech #edtechbridge #kidsdeserveit #learningloss #brainactivation #neuroscience

We’ve been waiting to share this joke for a while… we hope you like it as much as we do!

Q: If some of Fred Flintstone’s neurotransmitters could talk, what would they say?
A: GABA-daba-doo!

These are some of the most common reflexes! Check back tomorrow for tips on how to address retained primitive reflexes. #edtech #brainahead #edtechbridge #neuroscience

Let’s chat about reflexes. Have you ever wondered why some students slouch in their seats, have difficulty holding a pencil or can’t seem to focus on the board? The answer lies within their #primitivereflexes. #brainscience #neuroscience #edtech #edtechbridge

I told the doctor I didn’t want a brain surgery. But he changed my mind 🧠🤭

The limbic system (LS) and the frontal (cognitive) system are on two ends of a scale & stress can change which one is in charge! If the LS is in charge for too long it can lead to problems such as cognitive delays and dysregulated behavior. #brainfacts #neuroscience #edtech

The World Health Organization’s “Our Planet, Our Health” campaign goal is to inspire people and businesses to take actions that clean our air, food & water. Not only are these 3 things important to our planet and overall health they are vital for our brain health! #worldhealthday

[BrainAhead @BrainAhead_]

Sometimes the #limbicsystem is called the primitive or automatic system & this is partly because it plays a role in our fight-or-flight & emotional responses. If you're stressed, the system takes over control from our #frontalsystem which can sometimes have negative effects.

[BrainAhead @BrainAhead_]

This week and next we’re going to be focusing on the #limbicsystem! The limbic system is made up of several different parts of the brain including the amygdala and hippocampus. These areas work together to help us process emotions and memories! #neuroscience #brainfacts #edtech

Happy April Fools’ Day! Have you been fooled today? 🤔

Q: Why was the neuron sent to the principal’s office?
A: It had trouble controlling its impulses!
