The Neurologist's Role in Promoting Brain Health

Neurologic conditions are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality within the United States and worldwide. Brain health is a global concern, and the American Academy of Neurology's Brain Health Initiative promises to drive progress in this field over the next decades. Neurologists with detailed training and insight into brain function are uniquely positioned to apply emerging preventive health data to promote healthy brain development and maintain optimal brain function throughout the lifespan. The neurologist's role in promoting brain health is also vital in patients with active neurologic disease, in whom preventive measures may reduce recurrence or slow progression of disease and may enhance quality of life and overall function. In this Emerging Issues in Neurology article, we present the factors that may protect brain function and frame a practical approach to screening assessments and preventive interventions that neurology clinicians may consider to improve the brain health of patients at all life stages.

Abstract

Neurologic conditions are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality within the United States and worldwide. Brain health is a global concern, and the American Academy of Neurology's Brain Health Initiative promises to drive progress in this field over the next decades. Neurologists with detailed training and insight into brain function are uniquely positioned to apply emerging preventive health data to promote healthy brain development and maintain optimal brain function throughout the lifespan. The neurologist's role in promoting brain health is also vital in patients with active neurologic disease, in whom preventive measures may reduce recurrence or slow progression of disease and may enhance quality of life and overall function. In this Emerging Issues in Neurology article, we present the factors that may protect brain function and frame a practical approach to screening assessments and preventive interventions that neurology clinicians may consider to improve the brain health of patients at all life stages.
