In the Covel Grand Horizon Room, rows
of neuroscientists, doctors and advocates sat side by side with laptops
and cups of coffee, with one goal in mind – curing brain disease.
From Wednesday to Friday, UCLA
hosted the first annual meeting of One Mind for Research, a campaign
dedicated to curing brain diseases within 10 years, through
collaboration, research and social change.
Speakers
from across the nation took the stage during the event to present
neuroscience research and advocate for social equality for people with
mental illness. The speakers included Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa,
actress and advocate Glenn Close and UCLA’s own neuroscience faculty.
One Mind focuses on encouraging
collaboration between individuals in the mental health field, said Garen
K. Staglin, a co-founder of the organization.
