Activating the midbrain means?
- The midbrain has to be awakened by stimulating a hormonal discharge.
- In the human body, it is the pituitary gland that regulates the hormone secretions and this function has to be awakened.
- For this, it is necessary to activate the neighboring pineal body.
- The pineal body secretes two hormones: melatonin and serotonin
- The secretion of melatonin increases in the dark and decreases when it is bright.
- Serotonin is said to be very closely related to the evolution of species and has the capacity to increase the intelligence of the right brain.
- Since the midbrain is responsible for communication with the left and right hemispheres of the brain, the process of “activating” the midbrain will result in better communication with the left and right hemispheres.
