The Performance IQube
The frontal lobes are considered our emotional control center and home to our personality. These lobes are involved in planning, motor function, problem solving, spontaneity, memory, language, initiation, judgement, impulse control, and a variety of "higher cognitive functions" including behaviour and emotions.
The anterior cranium where the frontal lobes are located is extremely vulnerable to injury. MRI studies have shown that the frontal area is the most common region of injury following mild to moderate traumatic brain injury. Statistics show more than 300,000 concussions occur in the USA alone every year.
A study published in August in the journal Paediatrics found that concussion, a brain injury caused by a blow to the head, is common in young athletes, sending about 250,000 children between ages 8 and 19 to emergency rooms from 2001 through 2005.
Add a lifetime of left brain stimulation during our formative years at home and school and you will discover how naturally occurring development problems can affect the brain. This information is but one of the many reasons we feel the Performance IQube will be of benefit to everyone.
