                      BRAIN HEALTH AWARENESS WEEK

  (Mr. LUTTRELL asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LUTTRELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of Brain Awareness 
Week and the research, innovation, and advocacy taking place in the 
neuroscience space.
  As a veteran who suffered a traumatic brain injury, I have sought out 
advanced degrees in Applied Cognition and Neuroscience to find answers 
and also help veterans to recovery from post-traumatic stress, post-
traumatic stress disorder, and cognitive brain injuries sustained in 
battle, while also developing a further understanding of the brain and 
innovative treatments that can heal these injuries.
  It is crucial that we inspire the next generation of neuroscientists 
to continue the research and advocacy that leads to innovative, 
natural, nonaddictive solutions to cognitive disabilities.
  This is the decade of the brain, to cure brain disorders.
  As co-chair of the Congressional Neuroscience Caucus and a 
neuroscientist by trade, I urge my colleagues to join me in recognizing 
Brain Awareness Week and the contributions that thousands of dedicated 
scientists are making to unlock the mysteries behind the human brain.
