<p>Active areas of the brain are marked by high oxygen density and higher than normal temperature. The blood carries the fuel for the brain: oxygen and glucose. When an area of the brain is more active, it has increased blood supply. The brain dilates the capillaries of the area in use to bring more blood supply. With continued use, more capillaries and more synaptic connections between neurons are built in that area. When we increase blood flow, that area of the brain is able to do it's job better and more efficiently.</p><p>Sequential processing, including using language and executing tasks in proper order, takes place in the frontal lobes. Increased blood supply helps the brain accomplish these tasks.&nbsp;</p><p>The frontal cortex is in charge of inhibiting impulses, when appropriate. If the frontal cortex is not functioning well, a person will show a lot of impulsive behaviors. Also involved in this inhibition is control of migraines. Jeffrey Carmen has shown that when the frontal cortex has increased blood supply, migraine headaches are well controlled. The frontal lobes are important in the function of working memory. Working memory is important for reading comprehension and carrying out tasks.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><img src="@@PLUGINFILE@@/single-photon-emission-computerized.png" alt="" width="679" height="364" role="presentation" class="img-responsive atto_image_button_text-bottom"><br></p><p style="text-align: center;">Figure : Single Photon Emission Computerized <br>Tomography (SPECT Scan) demonstrating blood flow pre-and post-treatment<br></p>
