that is the legal standard in the united states based on neuroscience from 1840. that is the basis by which the legal system works. the area that the legal system in the us has incorporated exactly zero neuroscience is the realm relational impairment, the roma people who do know the difference between right and wrong who nonetheless cannot regulate their behavior. wears that? that's when you see damage to the frontal cortex and you can someone there who can tell you absolutely which is the appropriate thing to switch for, you can only get one as a reward or if you reach for one eminem you get five as every ward and they will say i know how it works and they go for the wrong one of the last instance. when you have frontal damage he passed the test and you know the difference between right and wrong and nonetheless you cannot regulate your behavior. there is no state in this country that readily accepts volitional impairment in a criminal court. to horrifying statistics pertinent to that, 25% of the men on death row in this country have a history of concussion head,

he was transported to the neuroscience intensive care unit at the university of cincinnati medical center where dr. brandon foreman and his team were waiting. an extensive series of imaging and diagnostic tests began immediately upon his arrival at our hospital. throughout this process, the warmbier family has been at their son's bedside and information has been continuously shared with them. his vital signs were stable upon arrival, and have remained so. he requires no supplemental oxygen or respiratory assistance. he has no signs of infection or dysfunction of the major non-neurological organs. his neurological condition can be best described as a state of unresponsive wake fufuwakefulne. he has spontaneous eye-opening and blinking, however, he shows no signs of understanding language. responding to verbal commands or awareness of his surroundings. he has not spoken. he has not engaged in any purposeful movements or behaviors. his exam shows a spastic quad ra par sis. which means he has profound weakness and contraction in the muscles of his arms and legs. the most important diagnostic

statisticians, engineers, anybody who does anything computational, there's a whole branch of computational neuroscience and their reaction to this book is -- what's the fuss about. nobody believes there's one circuit for anger, one circuit for fear, one for sadness in your brain. nobody really believes that. and i'm, actually, there are people who believe that. in psychology, i think it depends. the place where the debate is most intense is in the science of emotion itself. it tends to break down in the following way. young people, young scientists, and scientists who know something about anatomy or physiology, who do something more than just neuroimaging, tend to find this very compelling and useful because the ideas in this book, the theory in this book, doesn't just explain the existing evidence, doesn't just explain the anomalies of the classical view of emotion which is the idea that we have these innate emotion circuits. so doesn't just explain the anomalies or the existing evidence. also opens up brand new questions that nobody has ever thought to ask before, which is the value of a good theory.

of tertiary services, the most advanced treatment in heart disease, cancer or transplantation, neuroscience, of any hospital in california. with the combination of the two of those things, in terms of our patient mix, about 40% of our patients are medicare patients which makes us the largest provider of medicare services in the state of california by almost a factor of two for any individual hospital and a third of them are dual eligibles. for those who don't know those terms the other individuals who are elderly and poor. also one of the largest providers among private hospitals in the state, which gets to the cost of commercial insurance we will get to a little later. my point is what we do and who we serve has significant impact on both how the movement of care affects us and more importantly we hope we are contributing to that movement. very quickly, definition of terms of a personal standpoint, value-based care is all about providing the best outcome for the patient in a high-quality safeway at an affordable price and most cost-effective way that we as an institution given what we do a
