Visionary Investigators Network

This Thanksgiving ??, we are filled with gratitude for the opportunity to advance brain health and for the incredible people who make it possible—our dedicated team, inspiring patients, supportive community, and amazing sponsors and partners. ???? Thank you for being part of our journey toward a brighter future in neurology research. Wishing you a warm and joyful holiday! ?? #VINTrials #Gratitude #Thanksgiving #BrainHealth

This week, the VIN team took our mission into the community, spreading awareness and education about neurological health! ??? Our President inspired audiences as a speaker at American Care Medical Center, while our recruitment team had an amazing time connecting with attendees at the Michael-Ann Russell Jewish Community Center’s Annual Senior Health Fair. We’re proud to be part of these important conversations about brain health and research. ?? #VINTrials #CommunityEngagement #BrainHealth #NeuroAwareness

We’re still buzzing with excitement from the 2024 Walk to End Alzheimer’s in Miami this past weekend! ?? As proud sponsors, the VIN team was thrilled to join the community in stepping toward a world without Alzheimer’s. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth, walked with us, and shared in this incredible day of hope and action. Together, we can #ENDALZ! ???? #VINTrials #Walk2EndAlz Alzheimer's Association?

November is Alzheimer’s Awareness Month ?? — a time to bring attention to Alzheimer’s and dementia, conditions that impact millions worldwide. Let's wear teal, spread knowledge, and support those affected by this journey. Early detection, support, and understanding can make all the difference. Together, we can work toward a future with better care and, hopefully, a cure. ?? #AlzheimersAwareness #EndAlz #MemoryMatters #VINTrials

Proud to collaborate with Cognito Therapeutics, Inc. and the Global Alzheimer's Platform Foundation on this exciting trial!

Just 2?? weeks until the 2024 Walk to End Alzheimer’s on November 16 at LoanDepot Park (Marlins Park)! ???? We can’t wait to come together for a cause that means so much to us. VIN will have a booth, so swing by to say hello and grab some fun swag! Let’s make every step count toward a world without Alzheimer’s. Who’s walking with us? ???? #Walk2EndAlz #ENDALZ #VINTrials?

?????????????????? ???????????? ?????????? ???????????????? ?????????????????????? New research demonstrates that learning a #secondlanguage enhances brain connectivity, particularly when started in #childhood. Scientists found that #bilingual individuals have more efficient communication between brain regions, notably between the cerebellum and left frontal cortex. The study, which used whole-brain fMRI scans, shows this effect increases the younger a second language is learned, suggesting an early boost to cognitive flexibility and #neuroplasticity. This heightened connectivity may improve cognitive performance and resilience to age-related decline. The findings contribute to understanding bilingualism’s broader impact on the brain and could have implications for education and #brainhealth. Neuroplasticity is the brain’s ability to build connections within itself, adapting to the surrounding environment. The brain is most plastic in childhood, forming new pathways in reaction to stimuli such as #language. The results indicate that the earlier the second language experience, the broader extent of brain areas involved in neuroplasticity. That’s why we are observing higher connectivity of the cerebellum with the cortex in earlier exposures to a second language.” #neurology #research Read the full article here - https://lnkd.in/dNgMC2KH

Exciting day at the 2024 Parkinson’s Disease Therapeutics Conference in NYC! Our Medical Director and President are here, collaborating with the brightest minds in Parkinson’s research to push the boundaries of treatment innovation. Grateful to the Michael J. Fox Foundation for leading the charge. ?? #VINTrials #ParkinsonsResearch #MJFF

We’re excited to attend the 'Inclusion with Intention: Centering Diversity in Neurodegenerative Research' virtual conference, hosted by our partners at the Global Alzheimer's Platform Foundation! At VIN, we are deeply committed to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion and ensuring representation in research. Let’s work together to create a more inclusive future for neurodegenerative research!
