Welcome to the Brain Health and Beyond podcast with your hosts, Aisha and Dean

Share's Eye. We're so glad to be back. We've missed you all and Dean and I are sitting in our living room

and so excited to connect with you all again. Happy New Year. Hope everybody's doing well,

well as well as can be. It's been quite an interesting year and we're very optimistic and very fortunate to be here at this time and speak

with you and hope for better days ahead. So we're going to start by recapping last year,

the obvious things and also how it applies to neuroscience and brain health and beyond, which is the manifestation of all that.

And also kind of look into the future in 2021, which we think is going to be an amazing new year,

both as far as neuroscience and as far as brain health and how it applies to communities

and everyone around us. We're very excited. As you

will hear, this is amazingly exciting year for us. You are all our family and we think you'll be

surprised by some of the things that we're about to speak about. So let's start. So get yourself a cup of tea or coffee or any beverage and sit back.

And yeah, let's talk.

So as far as a recap of last year is concerned,

I don't think we can have a conversation without expressing our concerns and sharing some of our

experiences during 2020 with the pandemic and the stresses of the pandemic and the neurological

conditions that people have had. Dean, maybe you should start.

Yeah. So for us, it's a very important topic because we see it on a daily basis in our hospitals.

And we'll tell you a little bit about what we've experienced in the last year.

So, and we personally experienced a loss, a massive loss because of this horrible disease.

My mother, who was an amazing human being, one of the most lively, most positive, most

proactive human beings you can imagine.

She was a world traveler.
