Watch the first, two (one-minute) videos to learn what Brain Highways Global offers and how to get out of survival mode. Continue to learn how incomplete lower brain development may be showing up in your life.
Retained primitive reflexes, incomplete pons and midbrain development, poor body awareness, a sluggish vestibular system, and inefficient eye teaming all directly affect our ability to pay attention. Such perspective differs greatly from, for example, thinking ADHD causes inattentiveness.
Common behaviors, such as road rage and perfectionism, as well as many more behaviors—may actually be linked to incomplete lower brain development.
If we have retained primitive reflexes and incomplete lower brain development, we may find it difficult to comprehend what we’ve read, or we may frequently lose our place. That’s because the brain and eyes need to work together before reading is easy and enjoyable.
Depression affects more than 21 million Americans annually. Yet most do not know incomplete lower brain development can actually result in physiological changes in the brain that, in turn, cause depression.
Most people are led to believe that a diagnosis (e.g. autism) or shyness is why people don’t make eye contact. Yet, we need integrated primitive reflexes and complete pons and midbrain development in order to make and maintain good eye contact.

Hopelessness is often triggered by bold, “absolute” statements that some doctors, teachers, and therapists say to parents. Yet, such comments do not reflect an understanding of neuroplasticy (the brain’s ability to change).
People with incomplete lower brain development may be prone to interrupting for some very specific reasons. However, there are also ways we can help such people, even if they don’t ever finish that development.
