Slide 7 We moved past 20/20 long ago

As of January 1, 2001 on the Gregorian calendar we entered into the

21 century which is also the first century of the 3rd millennium. The

twentieth century is now history, and so should the idea of “20/20 vision”.

We, behavioral optometrists and vision therapists, have moved past the

structures of the eye and are finding our successes when we look

deeper into the brain. For us, it’s all about the neural connections and

detailed brain maps that fire up inside our brains.

When we look into the eyes of our patients, we touch their souls.

Slide 8 What Can We Find When We Go

Looking?

“Eyes don’t tell

brains what to see;

brains tell eyes what

to look for. ”

Slide 9 Making Connections

Today we are going to learn more about Motor and Sensory so we can foster the neural connections that make detailed brain maps.

Better brain maps lead to successful lives

Slide 10 What Are Brain Maps?

Different brain regions have specific functions.

Brain mapping uses neuroscience techniques to identify what different parts of the brain do.

Spatial representations of different brain regions are called brain maps.

As brains become neurologically more mature and

advanced, brain maps become more detailed.

Slide 13 Vision

“Vision is a dynamic interactive process of motor and sensory functions, mediated by the eyes for the purpose of simultaneous organization of posture, movement and spatial orientation, for manipulation of the environment and, to its highest degree, of perception and thought.”

Slide 17 Neuro-Sensory Motor Maturity

The maturation of the

nervous system that occurs

when motor neurons link with

sensory neurons repetitively

to create detailed brain

maps that result in higher

levels of motor control and

greater understanding of our

world. - Andrich, P.

Slide 18 Neuro-Sensory Motor Maturity

Begins with reflexive movement and leads to highly

refined, cortically controlled movement

It is simple to complex development

A transition from reactivity to connectivity and leads to

productivity

Slide 26 Making Sense of Sensations:

The Development of Perceptions

Sensations and perceptions are complimentary to one anotherTogether they help us interpret our world.

• Sensation: awareness of touch, taste, sight, sound, smell and movement

• Perception: a mental impression based on awareness, organization and interpretation of sensory information.

Perception is developed through experiencePerception does not always match reality

Slide 27

The thalamus is located in the middle of the brain above the brain stem and below the cerebral cortex.

The thalamus relays motor and sensory signals to the cerebral cortex. It is also involved in consciousness, sleep, and sensory interpretation.

Slide 31 How to use Hebb's Rule in VT

The trick is to get supportive sensory systems firing at the same time as Visual Motor and Visual Perceptual pathways fire,

without overstimulating the patient!

Slide 34 Primitive Reflexes

Automatic, repetitive movement patterns

Initiated and controlled by the brainstem

Emerge in utero - integrated within 1st year of life

Important for survival and movement learning

Inhibited by higher brain areas and then integrated within the nervous system

Retained with atypical neurology, poorly developed motor systems

Reappear with trauma, dementia, or brain injury

Slide 35 Postural Reflexes

Reflexes that help us to support our posture against gravity so that we can sit, stand, and move without falling over

Mediated by midbrain

Through childhood and into adulthood, we rely on these reflexes to maintain balance

Slide 36 Functions of Reflexes

Survival- Automatic subconscious responses to changes or stimuli within or outside our bodies

Maintain homeostasis (heart rate, breathing rate, blood pressure, and digestion)

Automatic actions such as swallowing, sneezing, coughing, and vomiting

Serve as early motor experiences that are on course to become refined and complex

Slide 37 Importance of Testing Reflexes

Patients who regress after completing vision therapy often

have significantly retained reflexes.

Parents report that it is common for their child to gain skills

and then later lose skills, in other areas of life. (school, sports,

etc)

We have found that children reach their vision therapy

goals faster when their reflexes are integrated.

Testing reflexes gives the optometrist a valuable road map

to sequencing therapy exercises.

Slide 39 The Neurophysiological Basis for

Vision Development

The level of neuro-sensory motor maturity is directly correlated to the proper timing of the emergence, inhibition and integration of our motor reflexes

When reflexes emerge or integrate out of sequence, normal maturation of the nervous system is disturbed

The degree of abnormal reflex activity influences how well or how poorly nerve fibers are organized, thus affecting muscle tone, coordination, sensory perception, cognition, psychology and vision development

Slide 40 The Neurophysiological Basis for

Vision Development

Our nervous system (Jenga tower) is only as strong as its support pieces

These pieces being specific reflex patterns emerging and being put in place at the proper time in development

High level motor and cognitive skills (top of Jenga tower) developed by a child later in life are reliant on earlier stages of development (the Jenga base)

___________________________________

___________________________________

___________________________________

___________________________________

Slide 41 The Neurophysiological Basis for

Vision Development

Even though the child may have enough pieces in place for intellectual ability, the child may not reach their full potential due to missing foundation pieces

When the pieces are not put in place at the right time and sequence, development will occur at the expense of altered automaticity

Continuous, laborious and conscious effort will be needed to master even the simplest skills

___________________________________

___________________________________

Slide 42 Stabilizing and Strengthening The Tower

Using specific reflex integration movements will help you to facilitate the myelination and proper functioning of the nerves, thereby improving brain circuitry

Supporting maturation of the nervous system facilitates communication between neural networks stimulating the development of vision skills as well as other sensory and motor functions

Slide 43 From Head To Toe

“The subject matter of body bilaterality cannot be ignored inmost patients if efficient binocularity is going to beachieved. From a developmental standpoint, a child firstlearns to team the two halves of his body before he learnsto team his two eyes together…. The problem of strabismus isnot strictly an ocular or eye muscle problem. Most

strabismics are strabismics from head to toe”

Slide 54 Incorporating Reflex Movement

Patterns in VT

In order to incorporate a reflex pattern into VT you need to know the movement pattern and how it affects vision skills.

Once you know that you can create your own exercises and activities to help you achieve your vision goals.

There is no one “magic exercise” that works withall patients. You have to understand the “why” and “how” in order to choose the right reflex.
