Today is International Day of Persons with Disabilities - bringing awareness to and promoting the rights and well-being of persons with disabilities across the world.

This is an important day for us to all celebrate. At Synapse, a multi-disciplinary team of doctors and therapists, focused on stimulating and regenerating brain and nervous system function come together to ensure patients experience the maximum expression of life possible for them by removing the barriers to good health.

So what is the parietal lobe? Located in the back left of the brain, the parietal lobe is vital for sensory perception and integration, including the management of taste, hearing, sight, touch, and smell.

It's also home to the brain's primary somatic sensory cortex, which is where the brain interprets input from other areas of the body.

If you experience, or notice somebody you believe is experiencing, a stroke then it's critical that you act fast. Every minute counts to prevent permanent disability - but despite that, only 25 percent of stroke patients reach the ER within an hour of the onset of symptoms.

Save this post to help you save a life.

You might have heard that left-brained people are more analytical and methodical, while right-brained people are creative or artistic. But is it true?

This theory is based on the fact that the brain’s two hemispheres function differently. This first came to light in the 1960s, thanks to the research of psychobiologist and Nobel Prize winner Roger W. Sperry.

Well...while it's absolutely true that the side of your brain does have some tangible impact on who you are, it is not tied to any trait or personality characteristic.

Thank you so much again for the work your doing with the veteran community and for being the VCS Business Spotlight for 2022.

Vestibular system issues, or the parts of the inner ear and brain that help control balance and other senses, are extremely common. Often, nobody talks about them because it is hard to describe falling while not moving or a headache that hurts enough to blur vision and cause dizziness.

If you are experiencing dizziness, please feel free to call us at 214-902-3400

National Concussion Awareness Day

National Concussion Awareness Day ® is a chance for health care practitioners, teachers, coaches, and parents to connect and discuss baseline testing, signs and symptoms, and the social and emotional issues that can result from mild traumatic brain injury.

Here are some ways to help you spot a concussion as an observer:

1. The person who may have a concussion can't recall prior to or after the injury/fall.

2. The person who may have a concussion forgets an instruction, is confused about an assignment or position, or is unsure of the game, score, or opponent.

3. Loses consciousness (even briefly).

If the person who may have it says or does the following:
- Has a headache or feels “pressure” in the head.
- Nausea or vomiting.
- Balance problems or dizziness, or double or blurry vision.
- Bothered by light or noise.
- Feeling sluggish, hazy, foggy, or groggy.
- Just not “feeling right,” or “feeling down”.

When someone has experienced a Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) it can lead to changes in cognitive abilities and control of emotions, mobility, speech and senses. When left undiagnosed or untreated it can have a huge impact on how a person thinks and acts, and on his or her mental health.

Mental illnesses connected to TBIs and head injuries include bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, and depression.

Today we were welcomed with some gloomy weather and rain, and some of you may be experiencing some mixed emotions about it, here is why.

2 Ways Weather Affects Your Mood:

1. Lack of sunlight can make you sad which is part of Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), with Fall around the corner, we will start seeing less sunlight.

2. When you get severe weather alerts it can impact your mood and increase your stress and anxiety, as you wait to see just how bad it will become.

With shorter days around the corner, this is a reminder to make sure you enjoy the sunlight as much as you can and remind yourself that you may be affected by the seasonal change.

2.8 million Americans sustain a traumatic brain injury annually.
