Brain Disease affects millions of people across the world and they affect not only those with chronic illnesses but also their families, friends and colleagues. This is why it's important to address the concerns of people suffering from brain-related diseases as well as those who care about them.
Some brain disorders, like stroke or head injury, are most commonly the result of damage to brain tissues. Other brain-related disorders are caused by progressive failure and death of nerve cells - this is known as ‘neurodegeneration’, and occurs in Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. As we age, our brain becomes more vulnerable to many brain disorders, and may be affected by problems elsewhere in the body. The physical signs of some chronic illnesses begin gradually, and may not be noticeable for years.
The UT Dallas institute of Brain Health is one institute which is dedicated towards understanding and finding cure for the diseases of brain. Its mission is to understand the brain’s ability to restore or protect healthy brain function, protecting the brain from unnecessary mental decline, healing the brain through treatments that regenerate brain function. The institute is supported by a board of directors which is further divided into the Leadership Board and the Advisory Board. The Leadership Council includes known names 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.
