  4. History • In their 2006 publication Neurological disorders: public health challenges, • the World Health Organization concluded that “a large body of evidence shows that policymakers and health-care providers,

  5. History • may be unprepared to cope with the predicted rise in the prevalence of neurological and other chronic disorders and the disability resulting from the extensions of life expectancy and aging populations globally.”

  6. Vision • •There is a National Brain Strategy with an evidence-based, • multidisciplinary, holistic approach to understanding and addressing brain conditions,

  7. Vision • supported by the findings of a national epidemiological study of neurological disease, disorders, • conditions and injuries in Canada.

  8. Statistics • Brain conditions do not discriminate. They strike men and women, • young and old. The resulting burden manifests not only the health of our citizens, but also our communities and social systems, and our economy.

  9. Statistics • The enormous burden of these conditions has been seriously underestimated by traditional epidemiological and health statistical methods.

  10. Different ways of participating • The NHCC is pleased to post any proposals, projects or studies related to the neurological field. Please forward your posting to us at info@mybrainmatters.ca and type "Posting: Participate" in the subject line.

  15. Graph • Like any other high school junior, Wynn Haimer has a few holes in his academic game. Graphs and equations, • for instance: He gets the idea, fine — one is a linear representation of the other — but making those conversions is often a headache.
