Top 30 Highlights from the 2013 SharpBrains Virtual Summit

Here’s a link to a SharpBrains’ list of 30 highlights from their recent Virtual Summit. 

Some of the highlights are, in my amateur opinion, “for professionals only.” Others seem more relevant to us patients/victims/new normal folks.

Here’s three “highlights” that I wished I’d seen:

• It takes 17 years to translate scientific/ medical discoveries into health practice — far too long given current needs. New models of discovery and translation, based on sharing and collaboration, can help close gap. (Misha Pavel)

• The current frameworks for brain health diagnosis and care are based on insufficient evidence and on pharmacological interventions that seldom work. (Robert Bilder)

• How people can develop new habits to rewire the brain and build resiliency. (Evian Gordon)

Here's a link to the summary on the SharpBrains websitehttp://sharpbrains.com/blog/2013/10/01/top-30-highlights-from-the-2013-sharpbrains-virtual-summit-the-latest-on-brain-research-health-and-innovation/. 

If you watched any of these presentations and, perhaps more importantly understood them, please shoot me a note.
