“…The stimulation of those reflex pathways is aimed at strengthening and stabilizing traces of genetic sensory-motor memory and the activation of innate defensive mechanisms of the body's brain 'alarm' system (HPA stress axis or 'hypothalamus->pituitary gland->adrenals' cycle activation described by H. Selye [35], in times of stress or danger. MNRI® exercises stimulate innate neuro-regulation mechanisms and resilience in the stress and immune systems [30,33]. Repatterning activates the extrapyramidal nerve system (peripheral nerves, spinal cord, brain stem, diencephalon) responsible for automatic mechanisms and processes, the extension of links between neurons, the growth of neural nets, myelination, and the creation of new nerve routing, as described by Sechenov, Anokhin, Haines, Virella et al [36][37][38][39].…”
