- Q&A on Synaptic Gap: Title great metaphor for gap between science and medicine, and policy and politics. #HUBweek
- Welcome remarks from Dr. Rosenbaum at #HUBweek#SynapticGap ...time of hope, frustration, challenge & innovation for brain science & policy!
- #synapse: a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron.@Wikipedia #HUBWeek
- "Kidney is a nice filter, the heart is a nice pump, the brain is a far more complex organism"
Why I love working in #mentalhealth#HUBweek - Jordan Smoller MD introduces brain disorders as a leading cause of disease, disability, even death. #HUBweek at Mass General Hospital
- Genetic insights into schizophrenia, many other conditions. (Look at triggering factors, too) #HUBWeek
- Genes are not destiny, nurture also matters (and exposures triggering biological pathways) #mentalhealth #HUBweek
- The natural rewards system in the brain. Drugs of abuse tap into that system. Increase release of dopamine. #HUBweek
- "If you try #cannabis in adolescence, you have a 7-fold increased risk of developing #psychosis" #HUBweek#mentalhealth
- Psychotic disorders cost over $100B/year, costs to individuals and families incalculable. Dost Ongur MD #HUBweek
- Pruning of synapses is important. Part of genetic risk is when too many synapses get eliminated. #HUBWeek
- "Our patients die younger." Heart attacks and strokes. (Screen metals and toxics as well as genes?) #McLean HUBWeek
- "Our patients are dying younger" of heart attacks and strokes. (Screen metals and toxins as well as genes?) #HUBweek
- Mobile health tech, patient engagement, data tracking, shared decision-making #HealthIT #mentalhealth #HUBweek
- Brain Stimulation-Neuromodulation as Therapy. Noninvasive TMS & tDCS, Convulsive, Invasive Neural pacemaker#HUBweek
- TMS Offers New Hope for Those Suffering from Depression - MGH Giving https://giving.massgeneral.org/transcranial-magnetic-stimulation-patients-suffering-from-depression/#.Vu41lVJxU84.twitter …
- Add reset brain pathways via electrical stimulation to therapeutic treatment modalities. TMS #HUBWeek
- Electricity forces nerves to fire, resetting brain pathways. (Yes we are energy & matter, so harness it) #HUBweek
- Love the idea of a greater focus on "circuit-based" formulations in #mentalhealth in addition to drugs+talk therapies #HUBweek
- @jacamprodon Great presentation #HUBWeek. What did you think of article on ultrasound clearing Ab from mouse brains?http://stm.sciencemag.org/content/7/278/278ra33 …
- These are the Latest Findings on Human Memory -http://bit.ly/1LqHtYE (partner content via @BBVAOpenMind)

- Panelists: Brent Forester MD, Toyin Ajayi MD, Niels Rosenquist MD, Emma Stanton BM, Sarah Wakeman MD #HUBweek
- Great symposium with amazing colleagues on the gap between#neuroscience and #mentalhealth policy. #HUBweekhttps://hubweek.org/events/synaptic-gap-21st-century-brain-science-meets-mental-health-policy/ …
