AAN Brain Health Initiative
The American Academy of Neurology’s innovative Brain Health Initiative is dedicated to promoting brain health across all stages of life, from early development to advanced age.

As cognitive well-being becomes a cornerstone of overall health and productivity, they proudly lead efforts to advance education, shape public policy, drive scientific discovery, and foster collaborative partnerships. Their mission is to enhance lives and create a lasting impact on the future of brain health.

 A neurologist specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves, including epilepsy, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's. After medical school, they complete neurology residency and may pursue subspecialty training. Neurologists act as primary or consulting providers for a wide range of neurological conditions.

 From 1990 to 2017, the burden of neurological disorders in the U.S., including stroke, Alzheimer’s, and migraines, increased due to an aging population. Geographic variations highlight disparities in prevalence and care. Despite declines in some age-standardized rates, the absolute number of cases rose, emphasizing the need for tailored health planning and resources. Read the study from JAMA here.

An article from the Jerusalem post describes a Vanderbilt University study found that AI-powered alerts, using the VSAIL model, improved suicide risk detection in neurology clinics. By analyzing routine health data, the model flagged high-risk patients, leading to 42% of doctors assessing suicide risk. This selective, automated approach enhances prevention efforts without overwhelming healthcare providers.
