👁️ When vision meets body awareness after concussion In this short clip from our @ConcussionCornr Academy® live Q&A, neuro-optometrist Dr Neera Kapoor @Neuro_EyeDoc explains why proprioceptive feedback — helping the patient feel connected to their body — is key to vision rehabilitation after brain injury. 🧠 Instead of moving a target for the patient, she recommends having them hold and guide it themselves. When the arm and hand are engaged, the brain instantly knows where the target is in space — activating the visual and somatosensory systems together for better outcomes. 💡 As Dr Kapoor reminds us: sometimes progress begins not with the eyes alone, but with reconnecting the person to their body. 🎓 Learn directly from Dr Kapoor and our international faculty inside Concussion: The Patient Rehabilitation Journey Part II — rolling admissions open through December. 🎧 Watch the full conversation on Concussion Corner Podcast® youtu.be/0lK15S4U3k4

🧠✨ Concussion recovery goes deeper than symptoms 🆕 imaging study of collegiate athletes shows that even after athletes feel “better” and return to play, the brain may still be healing. 📊 Using advanced MRI (arterial spin labeling diffusion tensor imaging), researchers found: ⬇️Cerebral blood flow in key brain regions at return-to-play ⚪️White matter microstructure changes (↑ mean diffusivity, ↓ fractional anisotropy) 🗓️ Some changes persisted up to 1 year post-injury—even when athletes were symptom-free ⚠️ Takeaway: Symptom resolution ≠ full physiologic recovery. This reinforces why careful return-to-play decisions matter, and why ongoing monitoring may be critical for long-term brain health. neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN…

Cataracts account for over 66% of blindness in India. Two out of every three blind person could see again with a $50 surgery. But for millions, even that amount is out of reach. That’s where SEF, USA steps in. With 29 hospitals, we bring free eye care to those who need it most.

I reconcile every position, every month. Why? Because even the banks make mistakes—big ones. I once found a $2.5 million error on a stock transfer. If I wasn’t watching, that money was gone. You don’t need to be rich to stay sharp. Random fees, wire charges—dispute them. If you don’t monitor your accounts, I guarantee the mistakes won’t be in your favor.
