  • This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In her TEDxJacksonville talk, she vividly depicts the incalculable value of memory and movement, and the devastating biological effects of these diseases on the brain. She also details recent advances in computing technology that may help elucidate treatment targets for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. “We are now building revolutionary computer simulations of neurons,” she explains, “so we can have better insight into the molecular behaviors of neural cells so we can see a play-by-play of the interworking of neurons rather than static pictures frozen in time.”
    Dr. Spring Behrouz is a self-confessed neuroscience nerd who is passionate about finding meaningful solutions for neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease.
    About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    You are not only a great speaker but also very knowledgeable and vibrant. I learned a lot. As an English prof. I enjoyed listening to your English as well.

    The crowd was lame. I would have stood and yelled at the end. She is a powerful speaker and thinker.

    Well that was a rather unexpectedly scary but very pleasant surprise. I am rather taken aback. A little depressed now, but overall, pleasantly surprised and mildly renewed. LOL
    Excellent and insightful talk. Sincerest "thank you" to Dr. Behrouz.

    Hum, we actually can see a lot with current techniques in neuroscience. You don`t have to kill a neuron to study it, you can use calcium imaging with 2-photon microscopy for example.

    Perhaps focusing on preventing aging itself would be the best direction medicine could take, since Parkinson, Alzheimer, hearth problems, cancer and many others are all age related diseases. That's how you will save the most lives and I'm happy big players like Google are putting a lot of money in anti-aging research.

    I'm jealous of my niece and nephew who are 11 and 12 and will never have to live with the terrible burden of mental health issues I have had to for the last 25 years.

    She didn't really offer anything, no good information, just attempts at motivational call to actions.
