Tofersen, a treatment for a genetic form of ALS developed by Timothy Miller, MD, PhD, and colleagues, changed Amanda Sifford's life. It has the potential to stop or even reserve some symptoms.

So excited to be a part of this project. When I first heard the idea for the show, I knew I had to be a part of it. Mike and Jackson have an undeniable hit on their hands.

Socioeconomics (SES) drive functional organization in the developing brain.

[Scott Marek @smarek0502]

What matters most for childhood brain organization?

We analyzed 649 variables.
The answer: Socioeconomics (SES); with brain patterns pointing at sleep & stress as drivers.

Even brain-IQ associations were better explained by SES confounding.
