The Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives (DABI) is a worldwide membership organization of neuroscientists and clinicians who have a proven history of and commitment to advancing public awareness about the progress and promise of brain research. In 1997, the European Dana Alliance for the Brain (EDAB) was formed and in 2015, DABI became aglobal
BULLYING AND THE BRAIN Chronic bullying, or persistent physical or psychological abuse that may come from a family member or a friend, is considered an ACE. It, like other ACEs, can lead to overwhelming feelings of stress and isolation. Children who are bullied can develop anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues later in life, studies show. HOW DOES THE BRAIN WORK? The central nervous system is organized into different functional areas: 1) The neocortex, which is organized into lobes seen in the illustration below. 2) The neostriatum or basal ganglia, which can be found deep within the structure. 3) The diencephalon, which contains the thalamus and hypothalamus, and is also found deep within thebrain.

As blood flow increases, your brain is exposed to more oxygen and nutrients. Exercise also induces the release of beneficial proteins in the brain. These nourishing proteins keep brain cells (also known as neurons) healthy, and promote the growth of newneurons.

THE NEUROBIOLOGY OF BRAIN INJURY B rain injury caused by head trauma or stroke affects all brain cells, including neurons; glial cells such as astrocytes, microglia, and oligodendrocytes; blood vessel cells; and cells that produce and recycle cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which line the brain’s ventricles. In addition to causing direct cell damage and cell loss, brain injuries disrupt blood flow and the blood-brain barrier (a REPAIRING THE INJURED BRAIN Repairing the Injured Brain.
