Smart Brain

Although a number of recent studies have pointed out that genetics, lifestyle, and brain activity each play core roles in supporting optimal and healthy brain function, research has also shown that there is evidence that diet contributes to brain health and mental performance as well.

However, getting enough "Brain Food" without any dietary supplement can be extremely difficult. Indeed, you may not receive all the nutrients the body needs for proper brain and cognitive function simply from food alone, that are essential to support optimal brain and cognitive function, memory, and focus.

SmartBRAIN has been developed by our team of experts with a unique approach to brain health, by formulating into one product Acetyl-L-Carnitine, which supports cell membrane signal receptors and helps maintain healthy mental alertness, PhosphatidylSerine (PS), which promotes memory and healthy brain aging, and Alpha GPC, which improves cell-to-cell communication.

Optical microscopy imaging is one of the most powerful approaches for probing the organization of brain tissue at a cellular and sub-cellular level. Several techniques are available, each with their own advantages and disadvantages in terms of spatial resolution, field-of-view, molecular specificity, and invasiveness of sample preparation.

The goal is to discover and model relationships between observations in the different modalities and predict morphological information either with spatial resolutions lying beyond physical limitations or in tissue areas where not all data types are available. Fusion of different datasets will be initially demonstrated in murine brain tissue, and subsequently extended to human brain samples. Specimens, provided by the neurosurgery partners in the consortium will be obtained from patients showing temporal lobe epilepsy and block of hippocampus and amygdala, as well as from autopsy of healthy subjects.

The SMART BRAIN project will: i) provide an innovative tool significantly improving currently available performances of optical microscopy ii) support the HBP consortium with a previously unavailable datasets and information on the morphology of the human brain iii) provide an instrument to be combined with clinical imaging for an advanced diagnostic tool.

If you google "SmartBrain" or "UCMAS" you find a technique for teaching children to do 10 digit math manipulation in their heads. It uses an Abacus at first and then the children stop using the abacus and visualize the abacus in their heads. The idea is not to just allow kids to be able to perform amazing number manipulations but rather to develop the young child's growing brain. It's a 3 year program in total.

Studies are clear that bilingual kids have more gray matter development and their brains perform better in many ways than monolinguals. I wonder if this SmartBrain program does the same brain development for young children.

The thing I don't get about SmartBrain is: Does it really promote brain development, i.e. an increase of the wiring network in the brain. Kids can start SmartBrain at 4.5 yrs of age and at this time, their brains are really developing and therefore perhaps it does actually work. However, I would love to be able to get some additional data beyond testimonials on their web sites, i.e. talk to people that did the program years ago. I know in India, literally hundreds of thousands of kids have been doing this program (it's called UC MAS there but it appears to be exactly the same) and they certainly pump out a huge number of very talented engineers. Is there correlation? I don't know.

I wonder if my kids did the full 3 year program, would they lose the skill in time just as you lose any skill if you don't practice it (guess the obvious answer is yes, never mind). However the reasoning for taking this course is not so they can do a party trick but to have the brain developed more so other analytical and life skills are increased for life.

If you've ever wondered how chess grand masters get so good at the game, it is because they start very young, and they don't actually play out the moves ahead of time the way a computer does. Instead, they seem to just act on hunches that this is the best thing to do, and they might not even be able to tell you why. They just know what is right. There is a reason for this. What has happened is their brain has actually hijacked the fusiform facia region of the brain. This is an incredibly powerful pattern matching structure that is generally used for the complex task of face recognition. In the case of chess grand masters, they have actually forced this area into service in order to "see" patterns in chess games (as confirmed by MRI scans), and just as we can recognize a single face out of millions, they can recognize a single chess pattern out of hundreds of thousands of games they have studied. They did it by challenging their brain with complex visual patterns when they were young and malleable. Once the patterns have formed, the patterns embedded appear to stay active for life.

The human brain is amazingly adept at pattern recognition if you can teach your child to visualize something. There are other equally complex structures in the brain of course, such as the language center, but visualizing patterns in complex, repetitive tasks is the most adopted technique for becoming an expert at anything.

A special brain-wave cap can diagnose stroke in the ambulance, allowing the patient to receive appropriate treatment faster. Jonathan Coutinho, neurologist at Amsterdam UMC, is one of the inventors the swimming cap and says, "Our research shows that the brain-wave cap can recognize patients with large ischemic stroke with great accuracy. This is very good news, because the cap can ultimately save lives by routing these patients directly to the right hospital." The research is published in Neurology.

Every year, millions of people worldwide suffer an ischemic stroke, the most common type of stroke. An ischemic stroke occurs when a blood clot blocks a blood vessel of the brain, causing a part of the brain to receive no or insufficient blood. Prompt treatment is crucial to prevent permanent disability or death.

Neurologist Jonathan Coutinho, Technical Physician Wouter Potters and professor of Radiology Henk Marquering, all from Amsterdam UMC, invented the brain-wave cap, which allows an EEG (brain wave test) to be carried out in the ambulance.

This brain wave test shows whether there is an ischemic stroke and whether the blocked cerebral blood vessel is large or small. This distinction determines the treatment: in case of a small ischemic stroke, the patient receives a blood thinner, and in case of a large ischemic stroke, the blood clot must be removed mechanically in a specialized hospital.

"When it comes to stroke, time is literally brain. The sooner we start the right treatment, the better the outcome. If the diagnosis is already clear in the ambulance, the patient can be routed directly to the right hospital, which saves valuable time," says Coutinho.

Between 2018 and 2022, the smart brain-wave cap was tested in twelve Dutch ambulances, with data collected from almost 400 patients. The study shows that the brain-wave cap can recognize patients with a large ischemic stroke with great accuracy. "This study shows that the brain-wave cap performs well in an ambulance setting. For example, with the measurements of the cap, we can distinguish between a large or small ischemic stroke," adds Coutinho.

In order to develop the brain-wave cap into a product and bring it to the market, TrianecT, an Amsterdam UMC, spin-off company was founded in 2022. In addition, a follow-up study (AI-STROKE) is currently ongoing in which even more measurements are collected in order to develop an algorithm for improved recognition of a large ischemic stroke in the ambulance.

Traditionally intracranial operations such as those involving vascular repair, aneurisms, and tumor removal can require deeper access into the brain tissue. Retractors are used to lift and separate the folds in the brain tissue in order to provide this access. The resulting pressure caused by this retraction can cause a restriction in blood flow which carries oxygen to the tissue. Prolonged pressure can cause irreparable tissue damage resulting in permeant neurological damage. Current retractors are simply thin pieces of surgical-grade metal that can be shaped and formed to the desired angle. Although the retractor can be manually inserted and held in place, it is more common that the retractor is placed in a table or head-mounted device that allows for more stable placement and operation. As the retractor is simply a piece of metal separating the sensitive brain tissues, they can provide no information to the surgeon on the status of the tissue being manipulated. The surgeon must rely on third-party telemetry and experience to determine if any potential damage might be occurring. As damage to the tissue can occur quickly and with a little outward warning, detecting an issue and moving to prevent it can be difficult. 2351a5e196
