— Last week I shared some key scientific, technological and investment trends revolutionizing Brain Health, based on my participation at the 2016 SharpBrains Virtual Summit, and promised a second article more focused on the technology side of things. Here it is :-) Just a few weeks after the SharpBrains Summit I also attended CES 2017. While I enjoyed the myriad emerging…

Return to the Teenage Brain (The New York Times): “Neuroplasticity–the brain’s ability to form new neural connections and be influenced by the environment–is greatest in childhood and adolescence, when the brain is still a work in progress. But this window of opportunity is finite. Eventually it slams shut. Or so we thought…What if we could turn…

A DISCUSSION WITH EVE MARDER, MICHAEL MERZENICH AND CARLA SHATZ (2016 KAVLI PRIZE IN NEUROSCIENCE): “Our view of the brain as something constantly shaped by thought and experience is only a few decades old, yet it has profoundly influenced how we teach and treat, raise our young and care for the old. Eve Marder, Michael Merzenich and…
