The brain is the motor of the body. It is responsible for the human actions, behavior, thoughts and feelings. The correct functioning of the brain is essential for the human life. When the brain is healthy it functions quickly and automatically. However, when problems occur, the results can be devastating. The UT Dallas Center for BrainHealth is dedicated towards researching about the brain and its disorders. It has formulated a unique Horizontal Approach which uncovers the commonalities in brain repair. The approach is different from other approaches which focus on either children or adults. The horizontal approach focuses across brain concerns in disease and injury and provides long term follow up.

The Center’s board members comprises of Sallie and Frederic Asche, Jr.Claudia and Dennis Berman, Toni and Norman Brinker, Dianne Cash, Theresa and David Disiere, Patsy Donors, John Harbin, Matrice Ellis-Kirk, among others as its members. Under the guidance of these board members, the center promotes research, treatment, academic training and is one of the few facilities in the United States providing a continued follow-up aimed at enhancing and monitoring functional recovery in brain injury, brain disease and complications of normal aging.

The UT Dallas Center for BrainHealth is focused on fulfilling its mission of understanding the brain’s ability to restore or protect healthy brain function, protecting the brain from unnecessary mental decline, healing the brain through treatments that regenerate brain function.
