Brain is undoubtedly the most important part of the body. It is the control center of all the activities, which include human action, thought, behaviour and senses (sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing) that affect the distinct sets of nerve cells and brain chemicals. The brain is a complex organ made up of many parts, each of which has a specific function. Mastering this complexity of brain is the task taken up by the UT Dallas Institute of BrainHealth. The institute has performed pioneering work in the field of brain and its disorders. The institute is putting up a team of scientists and expert clinicians that can lead to new breakthroughs in autism, attention deficit disorder, Alzheimer’s and other significant brain issues.
One of the most groundbreaking works of the institute is the novel horizontal approach to uncover commonalities in brain repair. The approach is different from the other approaches as it focuses on both children as well as adults, focus across brain concerns in diseases and injury and provide long term follow up. The institute links cutting-edge technologies in brain science with the intellectual talent of scientists and clinicians and advances cognitive treatments and brain repair across diseases.
The UT Dallas institute of BrainHealth has some known personalities like Sallie and Frederic Asche, Jr.Claudia and Dennis Berman, Toni and Norman Brinker, Dianne Cash, Theresa and
David Disiere, Patsy Donors, John Harbin, Matrice Ellis-Kirk, among others as its members. Apart from Brain Research, the center also promotes treatment, academic training and is one of the few facilities in the United States which provides a continued follow-up to enhance and monitor functional recovery in brain injury, brain disease and complications of normal aging.
