Commission on Brain Health for Economic Resilience
Founding Partners
A two-year global, transdisciplinary effort to define, measure, and advance brain health and cognitive capacity as foundational drivers of economic resilience.
As countries across the globe work to reckon with the increasing impact of brain health disorders, aging populations, and the rise of AI and digital technologies that are reshaping how we think about the nature of work, brain capital has emerged as a critical lever for economic resilience and human flourishing.
However, today brain capital — the collective resources that enable human functioning, learning, creativity, productivity, and resilience — is largely unmeasured and unmanaged.
The Nature Medicine Commission on Brain Health for Economic Resilience seeks to change that.
The Commission brings together expert voices across neuroscience, economics, epidemiology, public policy, environmental science, and global health to develop a framework to measure, model, and govern brain health across economic and health policy.
