WHOLE BODY CRYOTHERAPY. Photo essay on the Whole Body Cryotherapy at INSEP National institute of sport in France. Whole Body Cryotherapy is the stimulating use of extremely low temperatures below minus 110°C. The therapy stimulates the temperature receptors in the skin to communicate with the brain. The brain then transmits messages throughout the body causing the peripheral blood vessels to constrict. The enhanced blood supply that Whole Body Cryotherapy stimulates increases the oxygen and nutr

BRAIN REWARD SYSTEM. The brain reward pathway is indispensable to the survival because it associates the execution of vital functions with strong sensations of satisfaction. The ventral tegmental area VTA, receives informations which indicate the level of satisfaction, then analysis and transmits this information thanks to a chemical messenger, the dopamine, to the nucleus accumbens, the septum, the amygdala and the prefrontal cortex. The nucleus accumbens acts on the striatum which commands our

In response to a stimulus (sight, taste, touch, etc.), an electrical signal is produced which triggers the release of massive quantities of glutamate (purple triangles) by the presynaptic element. This in turn triggers a massive release of calcium (red spheres) in the dendrite (postsynaptic element), se

BRAIN, SCAN. BRAIN, SCAN The brain is divided into two hemispheres bridged by a mass of nerve fibers, the corpus callosum. The brain as a whole (encephalon) is composed of these areas along with the brain stem (the prolongation of the spinal cord), and the cerebellum (a sort of branch circuit located in the posterior region of the skull). Deep grooves separate the brain into lobes designated by the names of the overlying skull bones: frontal, parietal, temporal, occipital. Seen here, a normal

Representation of the transmission of the pain at the level of the spinal cord. The presynaptic neuron releases the neurotransmitters of the pain via synaptic vesicles. These neurotransmitters are released in the synaptic cleft and fixes on the receptors of the synapse of the postsynaptic neuron. The nerve impulse is then created and the information of the pain is transported to the brain. The neuron on the right is the neuron of the inhibition of the pain located at the level of the spinal cord
