Main point: “There is a critical need for donated brain tissue as neuroscientists work to advance the science of brain disease, and the biggest problem is that not enough people know about brain donation.”
More about it:
- “And there are significant benefits to brain donation.”
- “The first one may sound corny, but there is a significant sense of comfort the family feels in knowing that something positive will come from a great loss.”
- “Secondly, if requested, the family receives a copy of an important report.”
- “…the NIH contracted with six brain banks around the country to retrieve, store, prepare for lab use, and distribute donated human brain tissue to neuroscience researchers. That structure is called the NeuroBioBank.”
How Nordic walking contributes to brain health:
- Increases blood flow to the brain
- Enhances coordination and brain-body communication
- Reduces stress and boosts mood
- Improves cognitive function in older adults
- Supports social engagement
- Creates a cycle of healthy habits
