THE GLYMPHATIC SYSTEM
meets
THE CRANIAL RHYTHMIC IMPULSE (CRI)

www.neurosciencenews.com

Is the Cranial Concept and CRI (cranial rhythmic impulse)
 the fresh perspective to answer the questions being raised about the glymphatic system?

Will there be collaboration across disciplines around the world?

What is the
Glymphatic System ?

“….the brain uses a network termed 
the glymphatic system
 to support a constant influx of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) that drives the export of metabolic waste.

“…to answer fundamental questions
about this system… 

we will need fresh perspectives,
new techniques, 
and collaborations
across disciplines…”

What is the 
Cranial Rhythmic Impulse ?

A fresh and new perspective
 in anatomy and physiology
 as well as human potentiality
involving the fluid dynamics of the brain
and the flow of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
originated in America
during the first half of the 20th century.

“The aim is to investigate the existence
 of a third rhythm distinct from
 the head movements caused by respiratory breathing and arterial pulsing…”
