On World Brain Day, let's take a moment to highlight the importance of brain health. Our brain controls every aspect of our lives, from our thoughts and emotions to our movements and decisions. Here are a few ways we can support brain health: Promote Awareness: Encourage discussions about brain health and its impact on our lives. Practice Healthy Habits: Engage in activities like regular exercise, balanced nutrition, and mental exercises. Provide Resources: Ensure access to information and support for brain health. Show Empathy: Understand that brain health issues can affect anyone and offer support and kindness. Together, we can foster a supportive environment where brain health is prioritized. Remember, taking care of your brain is essential for overall well-being. #WorldBrainDay #BrainHealth #MentalHealth

"Breaking new ground in neurologye research! Our latest publication in an international journal showcases cutting-edge discoveries and advancements in understanding the complexities of the brain. Proud to contribute to the global conversation on neurological health and innovation. #NeurologyResearch #InternationalPublication #AdvancingScience 🧠🔬🌍"

💬 "It's important that we work together to address the very high unmet needs of brain disorders". During the 2023 Brain Innovation Days, we asked Prof. Martien Kas, President of the European College of Neuropsychopharmacology (ECNP), his views on the future of innovation in the brain space. 📺 Watch the full interview on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/eaQ9jtr6 🎟 Join the 2024 edition: https://lnkd.in/dtBrYjy2

In the midst of getting an undeniable pull to develop product improvements, I was reminded by a kind colleague to not to lose sight of the bigger picture: #brainhealth. What are we developing these products for? An interesting review of brain health initiatives by Philip Gorelick, Atticus Hainsworth and Anders Wallin earlier this year (https://lnkd.in/eevtHUQW) reminded us of re-ignited initiatives that included #BrainCapitalGrandStrategy, which was summarized by a seminar with the Secretary General and Admiral McRaven, on 27 January 2021. The actual article has been published in #MolecularPsychiatry - A Brain Capital Grand Strategy: Towards Economic Re-imagination - an inter-disciplinary effort of medical doctors, neuroscientists and economists to which NAEC contributed. The paper argues that in our brain economy, investments in brain health and brain skills are critical for post-COVID economic renewal, re-imagination, and long-term economic resilience. https://lnkd.in/esj37NC6 https://lnkd.in/eKfKJdd2

Exploring Brain Health and Brain Injuries with Dr. Gary Steinberg on Huberman Lab In the latest episode, Andrew had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Gary Steinberg, MD, PhD, a renowned neurosurgeon and a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine. Our discussion covered essential topics on brain health and various brain injuries such as concussions, traumatic brain injuries (TBI), strokes, aneurysms, and transient ischemic attacks (TIA). This episode is essential listening for anyone seeking actionable tools to improve their brain health or recover from brain injuries like concussions, strokes, aneurysms, or TBIs. #HubermanLab #BrainHealth #Neuroscience #NeuroRecovery #Innovation ---------------------- Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/ejB3v6Wh

Very excited to announce that our new opinion article on neurofeedback for stress-related disorders has just been published in Trends in Neurosciences: https://lnkd.in/e2Un5tuj - with Erno Hermans and David Linden We provide a contemporary perspective on neurofeedback as endogenous neuromodulation that (1) can target complex brain network dynamics, (2) is transferable to real-world scenarios outside a laboratory or treatment facility, (3) can be trained prospectively, and (4) is individually adaptable. We propose that this makes neurofeedback a prime candidate for a personalized preventive neuroscience-based intervention strategy that focuses on the ecological momentary neuromodulation of stress-related brain networks in response to actual stressors in real life.

Each year on July 22, #WorldBrainDay is devoted to a different topic in neurological health. This year, the theme is to bring attention to prevention. That’s why the World Federation of Neurology (WFN) has dedicated World Brain Day 2024 to #BrainHealth and Prevention. Some Key Messages---> 🧠 Neurological disorders are preventable through early detection and effective management. 📖 Global education on prevention for brain health is imperative. 🌏 Socioeconomic status or geographic location should not be barriers to prevention.  🏥 Healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers play pivotal roles in addressing the global neurological needs. 🧠 Recognizing brain health as a fundamental human right is at the core of our mission. To celebrate, you can participate in activities that promote brain health, such as engaging in #physicalexercise, maintaining a healthy diet, and ensuring adequate sleep 😴

Breakthrough by Duke-NUS Medical School’s scientists unravels protein pathway that could hold the key to understanding brain development; paving the way for potential treatments of neurological disorders such as seizures and autism.

In our ongoing series dedicated to #BrainInjuryAwarenessMonth, we are pleased to offer insights from esteemed medical expert Maya Yutsis, PhD, ABPP-CN. Dr. Yutsis, who is Clinical Assistant Professor (Affiliated) in the Department of Neurology and Neurological Sciences at the Stanford University School of Medicine, provides in-depth exploration of the following topics in her video: What is cognitive function? How are they related to concussions? What are the best ways to manage these symptoms? What to do if symptoms persist or worsen? When can one return to school?

Today is World Brain Day, an annual global initiative organized by the World Federation Of Neurology (WFN) designed to shed light on crucial aspects of brain health. Ahead of #AAIC24, join us as we unite with neurologists, patients, advocates and educators all over the world to promote brain health and prevention. 🧠 Prof. Wolfgang Grisold, President of WFN said, "Addressing the well-being of our minds and taking preventive measures is like securing a roadmap for what lies ahead. It's not just about responding when issues arise; it's about proactively fostering a mindset of prevention against neurological conditions. Our commitment to averting neurological disorders forms the foundation of our resilience for the future."
