This study examined 38 children ages 7–8 attending an urban school who participated in a five-month mindful movement program incorporating yoga, Tai Chi, and structured activities. Researchers observed significant improvements in attention, behavior, motor skills, and cognitive control, along with reductions in hyperactivity and disruptive behaviors. The findings suggest that movement-based interventions may support motor, cognitive, and emotional regulation in at-risk youth

This study examined 79 survivors of the 2016 Louisiana floods, including 34 children and 45 adults, who participated in MNRI® trauma recovery therapy. Using assessments of protective reflex patterns before and after intervention, researchers observed significant improvements in reflex integration, stress resilience, and overall functioning following treatment. The findings suggest that MNRI's nonverbal, reflex-based approach may help reduce trauma-related responses and suppor

This study examined the use of MNRI® trauma recovery techniques in 134 children affected by the Sandy Hook tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, comparing their outcomes with children exposed to other traumatic events and typically developing peers. Researchers observed improvements in reflex functioning, emotional regulation, stress resilience, behavior, and cognitive functioning following intervention. The findings suggest that MNRI may support recovery from traumatic stress in

This study investigated the effects of MNRI® techniques on the educational performance of kindergarten students. The findings suggest that MNRI may support developmental skills related to school readiness, including attention, participation, coordination, and learning-related abilities. Overall, the study highlights the potential of MNRI as a complementary approach for promoting successful engagement and functioning within educational settings. Read the full Publication

This systematic review and meta-analysis examined 229 children with ADHD across four studies to evaluate the relationship between ADHD and retained primitive reflexes. Researchers found that non-integrated asymmetric and symmetric tonic neck reflexes (ATNR and STNR) were moderately and significantly associated with ADHD symptoms, with greater reflex persistence linked to more pronounced behavioral and cognitive difficulties. The findings suggest that retained primitive reflex

This study explored the effects of MNRI® in children ages 1–13 with fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). Researchers observed improvements in reflex patterns, coordination, behavior, sleep, and caregiver engagement following two rehabilitation sessions. The findings suggest that MNRI may support psychomotor development and overall functioning, highlighting its potential as a complementary approach for addressing neurodevelopmental challenges associated with FASD. Read the

This study evaluated an 8-day MNRI® program in 310 individuals with neurodevelopmental and neurological conditions, including cerebral palsy, brain injury, ADHD, autism, anxiety, and PTSD. Researchers observed significant improvements in physiological markers and reflex integration following intervention. The findings suggest that MNRI may support nervous system regulation, reduce stress-related dysregulation, and enhance overall resilience as a complementary, non-pharmaceuti

This study examined the effects of MNRI® across individuals with neurodevelopmental and neurological conditions, focusing on neurotransmitter biomarkers associated with nervous system regulation. Researchers observed improvements in neurotransmitter balance, reduced stress-related responses, and enhanced emotional, behavioral, and cognitive regulation. The findings suggest that MNRI may support nervous system stability through neurochemical regulation, highlighting its potent

This longitudinal study examined 69 infants ages 1–7 months to better understand tactile sensitivity and motor responses to touch, including infants with prior experiences such as surgery, anesthesia, or critical illness. Researchers found that motor responses increased with stimulus intensity, while pain sensitivity changed with age in ways that reflected typical nervous system development. Importantly, tactile sensitivity remained stable and was not significantly affected b

This longitudinal study examined whether the head righting reflex (HRR) in newborns could predict later developmental outcomes by assessing 54 infants shortly after birth and following them to age five. Researchers found that infants with a strong and present HRR demonstrated better balance, speech and language development, and social-emotional outcomes later in childhood. In contrast, infants with absent or incomplete reflexes reached developmental milestones, such as sittin

This case report describes the use of MNRI® (Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration) techniques alongside physical therapy in an infant with severe amniotic band syndrome. Following intervention, improvements were observed in reflex patterns, motor responses, and overall developmental functioning. The findings suggest that MNRI may support neuromotor development and early rehabilitation, even in complex congenital conditions. Read the full Publication

This review article explores how imbalances in the gut microbiome, known as gut dysbiosis, may influence the brain through the gut–brain axis. The authors describe how disruptions in gut microbes can affect neurotransmitters, immune responses, and stress pathways, potentially contributing to inflammation and altered brain signaling associated with conditions such as depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD, and schizophrenia. Overall, the evidence highlights the important role of gu

This study examined 60 children ages 2–13 with recurrent obstructive bronchitis, comparing standard medical treatment alone with treatment combined with MNRI® reflex integration therapy. Researchers observed improvements in immune function among children receiving MNRI, including changes in immune markers associated with enhanced regulation and responsiveness. These findings were accompanied by fewer respiratory recurrences and longer periods between illness episodes, suggest

This study evaluated the effects of MNRI® across more than 100 individuals with neurological conditions, examining neurotransmitters associated with inflammatory processes. Researchers observed improvements in neurotransmitter balance, reduced stress-related markers, and enhanced emotional, behavioral, and cognitive regulation. The findings suggest that MNRI may support nervous system stability, neuroplasticity, and overall physiological regulation as a complementary, non-pha

This study examined 48 children with Down syndrome who participated in an intensive 11-day MNRI® reflex integration program. Using pre- and post-assessments of 24 reflex patterns, researchers observed significant improvements in 83% of the reflexes evaluated, accompanied by gains in motor, sensory, and cognitive functioning. The findings suggest that MNRI may support neurodevelopment and functional outcomes in children with Down syndrome. Read the full Publication

This study examined the use of an MNRI® (Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration) program to improve reflex patterns in children with Down syndrome. Researchers observed measurable improvements in reflex integration, accompanied by gains in motor skills, coordination, and overall functioning. The findings suggest that MNRI may support neurological development and enhance functional abilities as a complementary, non-pharmaceutical approach. Read the full Publication

This study explored the effects of MNRI® (Masgutova Neurosensorimotor Reflex Integration) in children with Down syndrome, focusing on immune system functioning. Researchers observed improvements in immune markers and overall physiological regulation, suggesting potential benefits for immune resilience and stability. The findings indicate that MNRI may support both neurological and immune functioning, highlighting its potential as a complementary, non-pharmaceutical approach t

This study evaluated an 8-day MNRI® program in 78 children with cerebral palsy and observed improvements in brain activity, neurotransmitter balance, and reflex development. The findings suggest that MNRI may support neuroplasticity, motor function, and emotional regulation, highlighting its potential as a complementary, non-pharmaceutical intervention.
