And we have talked about Bright Minds a lot.

But go through each of those risk factors as it relates to concussion rescue. So B is for blood flow and we see that on the

scans right we see low blood flow 91% of the time in the frontal lobes.

Which, you know, that just hurts everything in your life because it's decision making.

That's a brilliant memonic and the more I use it with patients, the more sense it makes

as we apply it to the different conditions that we see. And so, of course, blood flow. Yeah, the vascularization, we need more blood flow if there's been a brain injury. The R is for retirement. And as the aging brain, as I said earlier, you know, highest rates of brain injury are those either young adults, 0 to 17 and then over 65 and the brain is more vulnerable but there's also

falls are higher in these populations. I is for inflammation as we earlier, there's a cascade of inflammatory events that's like a fire that hasn't been put out and continues to smolder for months and sometimes years after brain injury.
