Be the Best You can Be How do you manage a broken brain? We don't know
How do you manage a broken brain?
...Do you create a profile of all the strengths and weaknesses, a visual representation to analyze and evaluate? An MRI of the mind?
Do we create programs to strengthen the weakest areas, or do we leverage the stronger domains? Or perhaps the middle range?
Can two or three areas of strength be combined to help an area of weakness? What role might cognition-medications have? What role do psychostimulants have?
How do we measure progress? How do we know when to change direction?
How do we intervene in infancy, when surgeons can remove half the brain and a child can still go to college? In early childhood? In pre-adolescence? During the teen years? In adulthood? In old age?
How do we leverage computerized, robotic, and remote human aides to support severely impaired cognitive functions?
We flippin' don't know...
... I can imagine ways to start to make progress. Ways to study developing brains and minds. Ways to create comprehensive profiles of strengths and weaknesses and use those profiles in discussion and analysis. What I can't see is how to make significant progress in my lifespan with the available political will and funding....
Let him know if you find any.
