Neurophysiology

The study of how the nervous system functions — from single neurons to brain-wide circuits.

Neurophysiology is the branch of physiology that studies the function of the nervous system. It examines how neurons, neural circuits, and brain regions generate behavior, perception, and consciousness.

Scope

  • Cellular — ion channels, action potentials, synaptic transmission
  • Circuit — how neurons connect and communicate
  • Systems — brainstem, cerebellum, cortex, autonomic nervous system
  • Integrative — how neural activity produces movement, emotion, thought

In ONDA Life

ONDA practices are grounded in neurophysiology. Part 3 works with "the deepest, automated processes" — brainstem, reticular formation, sensorimotor cortex — from a neurophysiological perspective. Each protocol targets specific neural structures with measurable outcomes.

Scientific Basis

Built on: Polyvagal Theory (Porges); Psychoneuroimmunology (Ader & Cohen); neuroplasticity research.
