My concept of “neuroscaffolding” is that of exposing the brain to complex patterns so that the brain is forced to adapt to those complex patterns and thereby increase its synaptic plasticity, synaptic density, and pattern-recognition.

This video presentation: Here, I review and replay my CME conference presentation from the 2013 International Conference on Human Nutrition and Functional Medicine specific to nutrition and brain health.

• I’d never seen my own conference presentation until this review.

• I replay the first 20 minutes at 125% velocity to save time but then normalize the speed for better clarity, as the source recording is not perfectly clear.

• I expect that this presentation is somewhat basic—and that is the point: that we can achieve much just by covering the basics as mentioned by Pauling, Ames, and Williams

• I periodically pause the 2013 presentation to provide additional explanations; I also make a few notes and will post them as a separate document.
