It is very important to know what this area of the brain can do. The post central gyrus is known as the message ‘receive and dispatch’ centre of the brain. When this area of the cranium is touched, merkels tactile disks associated with slow adapting receptors are stimulated. These mediate sensations which project centrally via the dorsal column  medial lemniscus pathway(DCML). This is a neuropathway directly associated with the post central gyrus. What this means is, that if you close your eyes and have someone touch just one hair on your head, you would be able to tell them exactly where they touched. (Try this with someone at home). That is the post central gyrus that allows you to relate to the sensation and its location. The same principle applies with an NIS treatment. It is the post central gyrus that is able to ‘acknowledge’, the relationship between the anatomical contacts the doctor is holding. Once this takes place, the brain immediately begins instructing the body to make all the infinite changes required to restore function.
