Our brain is supposed to be the most complex organ of the body. The human brain is a fantastic network of connections, a vast network that circulates information and determines how we think and act. The brain composition is so intricate that one of the biggest challenges in neurology is to work out which parts of the brain are connected and how the networks function. The brain is made up of millions of neurons. Each neuron makes contact with thousands or even tens of thousands of other neurons, via tiny structures called synapses. The pattern and strength of connections are constantly changing and no two brains are alike.
The UT Dallas Center of BrainHealth is formed to understand the working of the brain. The center has pioneered a novel horizontal approach to uncover commonalities in brain repair. The mission of the center is to utilize the cutting edge technologies in brain science with the intellectual talent of scientists and clinicians and advance cognitive treatment and brain repair across the diseases. The center has a team of scientists who are working to bring out new breakthroughs in autism, attention deficit disorder, Alzheimer’s and other significant brain issues.
The center’s board members are divided into a leadership council and an advisory board. The Leadership board of the UT Dallas Center for BrainHealth comprises of Sallie and Frederic Asche, Jr.Claudia and Dennis Berman, Toni and Norman Brinker, Dianne Cash, Theresa and David Disiere (http://www.brainhealth.utdallas.edu/about/board-mem.html), Patsy Donors, John Harbin, Matrice Ellis-Kirk, among others as its members
