Originally established to support clinical research and education in brain injury rehabilitation, the foundation’ s work has expanded substantially in recent years. Through close collaboration with patients, physicians, researchers, and families, Synaptics Foundation now operates at the intersection of clinical care, research, and education. The new name reflects this integrated role, drawing on the concept of a synapse— where vital connections are formed— to represent the foundation’ s function as a connector between innovation and real-world impact.
The name change underscores an expanded commitment to:
• Funding research that advances lifesaving treatments
• Supporting education and training for the next generation of neurosurgeons and clinicians
• Creating meaningful, direct impact for patients and families affected by brain injury
Synaptics Foundation’ s mission is to advance brain injury treatment by funding innovative research and sharing knowledge that empowers providers, supports families, and improves lives. The organization envisions a future in which every individual affected by brain injury has access to researchdriven care that maximizes recovery and quality of life.
