Greetings NIH???? I appreciate this opportunity in learning how moving forward in how our minds process various aspects in life. Thank you for this invitation. My mind (brain) happens to be one of the many things I love about how I was created to be in my today. What a time to be alive ??. How’s that for a morning word salad? You’re welcome???? Given that all humans technically have brains, should the label be “disorder”? I may be wrong perhaps transitioning “disorder” as “condition” may help facilitate more awareness in appreciation for credence in this field????♀??!? Let’s face it, when someone says, “Disorder”. The natural tendency is to do what? Disorder still means, confusion does it not? Most aren’t confused by how their brain figures out that their body can’t function properly certain stuff like L3-L5. Add some random domestic violence survivoral self care techniques with physical implications, it’s quality of life for their future that is vital. I do love love love the “NINDS Circuit” title. Fun play with simple non doctory (fancy/Latin) wording??. Until we see each other here again, grace & peace be with you & yours. Stay well & safe, Amy
