I loved having this insightful discussion with Ariane Tom, PhD, founder of Kaleida Capital, as she discusses the innovation and technology needed across the neurotech care continuum, while also giving advice on what it takes to start your own fund💪 Listen to the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/gcWwuuiy

Simple by design, the 4 digital tests comprising the Cogstate Brief Battery (CBB) provide robust data for informed decision making on cognition. Used extensively in clinical trials and healthcare, the CBB is brief, reliable, culturally neutral, and well-validated for multiple contexts of use. CBB tests are versatile and can be used for adults and children with or without psychiatric or neurological conditions both in-clinic and in remote unsupervised contexts. Notable uses include the Anti-Amyloid in Asymptomatic Alzheimer’s (A4) study, the PEARL-3 schizophrenia trials, and the vortioxetine depression trials. Data from these tests has been used in regulatory approvals. 🌟 See more details on how the CBB assesses cognition here - https://lnkd.in/e53Wt6tC #Cognition #BrainHealthForAll #Neuroscience #ClinicalTrials

🧠 Neural Selectivity Shaped by Brain Molecule: Insights into Human Cognition A groundbreaking study from Johns Hopkins Medicine, recently published in Nature, reveals the role of a specific brain cell surface molecule, the calcium permeable (CP)-AMPA receptor, in influencing neuron behavior. This research provides crucial insights into how neurons process external cues, which is essential for understanding human cognitive functions and disorders like schizophrenia, epilepsy, and autism. 🔑 Key Takeaways: ◾ The CP-AMPA receptor suppresses the selectivity of neurons, affecting their ability to focus on specific stimuli, such as visual or spatial cues. ◾ This discovery helps explain the less selective response of certain neurons to external cues, which is a characteristic observed in various neurological conditions. ◾ The implications of this study are vast, potentially guiding future research in neurocomputational therapeutics aimed at improving treatment options for psychiatric disorders with a genetic component. 🌍 Why This Matters: Understanding the molecular mechanisms that govern neuron selectivity is crucial for developing targeted therapies for mental health disorders and improving our overall understanding of brain function. This research not only paves the way for potential therapeutic interventions but also deepens our understanding of the complex neural processes underlying human cognition. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eiNrtM4q #Neuroscience #HumanCognition #BrainFunction #JohnsHopkins #NeuralMechanisms #MentalHealthAwareness

I recently got an award for being a Neurologist who helps people with their brains. They called it the "𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐍𝐞𝐮𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐠𝐢𝐬𝐭 𝐎𝐟 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫" award. Pretty cool, huh? But what does this mean for you? Imagine a world where doctors can use a special code hidden inside your body to fight off sickness. Think of it like a superhero having a secret power. That's kind of the idea behind "precision medicine." This special code is actually in your DNA, like a personal instruction manual. With precision medicine, doctors can use this code to understand your brain health better. Your brain controls everything you do, from thinking and feeling to walking and talking. By understanding your brain's code, doctors can create a special plan to keep it healthy and strong for a long, long time. So, even though this award might sound a bit strange, it's really a big step forward in brain health. And that's good news for everyone. #FortisHealthcare #Neurologist #Neuroscience #VOH #PrecisonMedicine #doctor

Scientists Found the Missing Glue That Binds Our Memories Together and May Help Us Edit Them Scientists have made a groundbreaking discovery that could revolutionize our understanding of how memories are formed and stored. While we’ve long known that the molecule protein kinase Mzeta (PKMzeta) plays a crucial role in memory formation, researchers have now identified its partner—KIBRA (Kidney and Brain Expressed Adaptor Protein). This discovery sheds light on how long-term memories are formed by "tagging" specific synapses in neurons. With further research, this could pave the way for innovative therapies targeting memory-related conditions like Alzheimer's, PTSD, and other cognitive disorders. This breakthrough brings us one step closer to understanding how we might one day edit memories or enhance them for better cognitive health! #Neuroscience #MemoryFormation #BrainHealth #CognitiveScience #InnovationInHealth #AlzheimersResearch #MentalHealth #Neuroplasticity #FutureOfMedicine

Due to the high risk of failure and often lengthy development timelines, many investors have historically been reluctant to support the development of novel technologies for neurological diseases until early-stage clinical data demonstrate a strong likelihood of success. In this STAT article, I outline a private equity model for neurotherapeutics based on a four-step process – search, evaluate, invest, and develop. This approach, embraced by Neurvati Neurosciences, positions assets for a broad range of development opportunities. Read here: https://lnkd.in/e-8hk7mm

Fascinating read on how the brain's intricate network of nerve cells, each with unique firing thresholds, contributes to our cognitive abilities. Dr. Kennedy's study funded by @MichaelJFoxOrg offers new insights, essential for tackling Parkinson's. The diversity in neural communication is key to our identity and adaptability. It's a profound step in brain research, with implications far beyond our current understanding. Let's discuss how this could revolutionize neurological health! #BrainResearch #Neuroscience #ParkinsonsDisease Original article: https://lnkd.in/gN_nVVPT
