Eye Love Brainspotting

04/09/2026

Black Maternal Health Week (BMHW), observed annually from April 11–17, is a campaign founded by the Black Mamas Matter Alliance to raise awareness, activism, and community-building to improve Black maternal health outcomes. Black women are over 3x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes than white women, often due to preventable, systemic issues.

PS Visual problems such as glaucoma in Black adults are also less diagnosed and more debilitating. Let’s advocate for those who need us!!

This!!! When our eyes are in charge, we can be less “in our heads” for true change to happen.

The Superior Colliculus: Visual Orientation and Eye Movements 👁️🧠

The superior colliculus is a key midbrain structure that integrates visual sensory input with motor output, enabling rapid orientation of the eyes and head toward visual stimuli. It plays a crucial role in saccadic eye movements, spatial localization, and coordinated gaze control.

An essential concept in neuroanatomy linking vision to action—high yield for understanding brainstem function and eye movement control.

Message me if you need help seeing this article. Black and white processing is helpful because it regresses and rebalances rods and cones processing! This means you can help an overwhelmed client by switching to colorless stimuli. It is also connected to how telehealth onscreen (2D) can help rebalance the peripheral processing visual system that is so close to limbic (eg emotions) in brain. We have 10 times more rods for black and white and 2D vs 3D visual processing. You have the tools you need between your ears and in the windows to your soul! Watch for more pop up classes about this in the new year!!
