  1. Group onNeural Issues

  2. Outline • Key gaps in knowledge • Barriers and opportunities • Methodological needs • Research priorities for the future

  3. 1. Key gaps in knowledge

  4. 1. Key gaps in knowledge • Biological changes with exercise in humans • Can these changes provide biomarkers • Determinants of rate of recovery • Characteristics of effective exercise • Gender, race, culture-dependent efficacy • How best to promote brain health • Education? Incentives? Penalties? • Special requirements for people at high risk • Education of legislators, policy makers

  5. 2. Barriers and opportunities a. Barriers

  6. 2. Barriers and opportunities a. Barriers • Finer distinctions • Measurements of deficits • Design of Rx • “Reverse translation:” Bedside to bench • Need to expand considerations of mood (depression is only one facet)

  7. 2. Barriers and opportunities b. Opportunities

  8. 2. Barriers and opportunities b. Opportunities • Large clinical trials • Data sets • Ongoing or planned • Professional meetings (provide education)

  9. 3. Methodological needs

  10. 3. Methodological needs • How to influence behavior? (and when?) • More precise Rx • Tracking compliance • Better scales to measure • Prediction of responders to given treatment • Can genomics help? • Personality traits • Impact

  11. 4. Research priorities

  12. 4. Research priorities • What is impact of interventions, combos • Neurobiological • Clinical • How large is the problem? • Personal and Societal • What are the risk factors? • Identification of biomarkers (risk, impact) • Make better use of ongoing trials • Why low compliance? • How to promote behavior for healthy brain?
