Kim Gorgens Protecting the brain against concussion

Heads Up is specific to concussion in kids.

A common example in sports concussion is the quarterback who was able to conduct the complicated mental tasks of leading a football team after a concussion, but has no recollection the next day of the part of the game that took place after the injury.

I'm a brain scientist, and as a brain scientist,

You're more complicated than your brain. You've got a brain.

The biological brain is the only brain of the robot.

Turning brain drain into brain gain The case of Pakistan

The old brain is still there. You still have that alligator brain.

The new brain is actually kind of easier than the old brain.

If those diseases where tissues are deteriorating for example Alzheimer's, where the brain, the brain cells, die and we need to restore new brain cells, new functional brain cells what if we could, in the future, use cancer? A tumor put it in the brain and cause it to differentiate into brain cells?

Our newest brain, our Homo sapien brain, our neocortex, corresponds with the what level.

So faking your brain going wrong is evidence that your brain has gone wrong.

And after all, we are our brains. My brain is talking to your brain.

T cells gain entry into the brain via disruptions in the blood brain barrier.

In a lively talk from TEDxDU, neuropsychologist Kim Gorgens makes the case for better protecting our brains against the risk of concussion with a compelling pitch for putting helmets on kids.

The Stressed Out Brain

The big brain integrates signals, which come from the running programs of the lower brain, But subsumption means that the higher brain can interfere with the lower.

Now, there's some things that you can do to make your brain grow new brain cells.

Our bodies are hanging along for the ride, but my brain is talking to your brain.

Brain development Social deprivation in early childhood development can also cause neurocognitive deficits in the brain.

If, God forbid, any of us left here tonight and sustained a concussion, most of us would go on to fully recover inside of a couple hours to a couple of weeks.

Your brain at positive is 31 percent more productive than your brain at negative, neutral or stressed.

A program called Brain Electrical Activity Mapping then triangulates the source of that abnormality in the brain.

Studies have shown that chemo and radiation therapies may damage brain white matter and disrupt brain activity.

My career path led me to become a computational neuroscientist, so in my day job, I create computer models of the brain to try to understand how the brain makes predictions, how the brain makes decisions, how the brain learns and so on.

Criteria for brain death vary.

The majority of our functional brain is distributed over the outer surface layer of the brain, and to increase the area that's available for mental capacity, the brain surface is highly folded.

I'm a brain scientist, and as a brain scientist, I'm actually interested in how the brain learns, and I'm especially interested in a possibility of making our brains smarter, better and faster.

What is going on? And in that moment, my brain chatter my left hemisphere brain chatter went totally silent.

Cerebral perfusion pressure, or CPP, is the net pressure gradient causing cerebral blood flow to the brain (brain perfusion).

The BRAIN Initiative (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies, also referred to as the Brain Activity Map Project) is a proposed collaborative research initiative announced by the Obama administration on April 2, 2013, with the goal of mapping the activity of every neuron in the human brain.

The brain isn't divided into compartments.

You do. It's your emotional brain.

Clearing A Path Through the Brain

Brain washing is a common practice

But what if machines change the brain? Evidence from early brain stimulation experiments a half century ago suggests that sending a current into the brain may cause shifts in personality and alter behavior.

It's all happening here in your limbic brain, the part of the brain that controls decision making and not language.
