  • Neuroscience can identify biomarkers for neurological conditions allowing treatment and help in an effective way

    Eg: deep brain stimulation benefitted treating severve disorders (Mayberg 4/6 patients with severe depression improved with DBS) also allowing faster diagnosis and slowing down alzheimer’s
  • economic advantage
    neuroscience research into brain health and functions informed public health to reduce incidence leading to long-term savings, care and support

    Depression costs UK £9.1 billion in 2000 and 109 working days are lost therefore showing neuroscienes long-term economic benefit, reducing healthcare costs (treatment is £370 million) and neuroscience replaces this with neurological procedures assisting society ecomonically

    dementia - £23 billion annually
  • neurolink
    • recent neuroscience technology advances (neurolink) can decode and manipulate the brain signals offering treatments for neurological disorders
    Therefore: neuroscience can reduce need for long-term medicine
