Synaptogenesis
Translating neuroscience into education, recovery, and global impact.
Translating neuroscience into education, recovery, and global impact.
Synaptogenesis is a translational neuroscience initiative connecting laboratory research, clinical rehabilitation, and community education. Founded by Shivek Narang, and building on Our Teen Brains and Empower Through Recovery, we partner with investigators and clinicians to make brain science actionable for patients, families, and schools.
We operate at the interface of neuroimaging, cognitive recovery, and educational translation. Our models bridge empirical evidence with real-world outcomes to improve post-injury recovery pathways, adolescent neurodevelopment, and public brain-health literacy.
We align scientific discovery with human experience across three pillars.
Promoting neuroscience literacy through workshops, podcasts, and student engagement worldwide.
Collaborating with clinicians and rehabilitation specialists to translate science into recovery strategies.
Fostering interdisciplinary partnerships that advance global neurological health and inclusion.
Synaptogenesis is powered by two complementary initiatives that bridge neuroscience education and recovery.
Our Teen Brains focuses on adolescent brain development, mental health, and resilience. Through workshops, podcasts, and interactive lessons, it helps students and families understand how the teenage brain evolves—empowering better decision-making and emotional growth.
Empower Through Recovery supports individuals recovering from traumatic brain injury (TBI) and other neurological conditions. By pairing students with survivors, the program fosters community reintegration, empathy, and evidence-based rehabilitation support.
Our programs and partnerships create measurable improvements in awareness and recovery.
