One day Envy and Greed went for a stroll in the forest. They are excellent friends, you know. They talked about human follies and how easy it is to fool them. They turned left on the trail and, low and behold, ran into the Archangel Gabriel. Naturally, they were surprised. So, it was the Archangel Gabriel.  “Well, fellows, I have a tradition to bestow a wish to whoever sees me and grant twice as much to the other fellow—said the Archangel Gabriel. So consequently, fellows, think carefully about your wish.”

Who wants to be first? Said the Archangel. Envy thought: If I wish first, Greed will get twice as much as I am getting. Envy thought and thought. Then Envy said: “Archangel Gabriel, poke out one of my eyes.”

My name is Julian L Sevillano. I am the Executive Director of this space that aims to disseminate pertinent information about the human brain, emphasizing brain neuroplasticity and the tools that can help us weather our circumstances. My mission is to bring some hope regarding the dilemma of people of all ages. And the difficulty is because we not only have to fight with problems that our condition brings but also with what adaptation to the results of the pandemic and the so-called "New Normal" entails. Notice to the reader that I said "our condition" since I just turned 86! I continued my studies at Harvard Extension School in Fundamentals of Neuroscience. I obtained Certificates in the Electrical Properties of Neurons, Neural Networks and Neurons and The Brain. I previously studied at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and graduated with a bachelor’s in accounting and economics. I am the Coordinator of Neurocognitive Research Programs for Seniors—I-Function, Inc. (University of Miami School of Medicine start-up). I am a Consultant at the Center for Cognitive Neuroscience and Aging. Miller School of Medicine. University of Miami, Coral Gables, Florida. I also work as a Neuroplasticity and BrainHQ Posit Science Certified Brain Adequacy Trainer at brain training centers located at the Village Activity Center in Key Biscayne, Florida, at the City of Coral Gables, Florida Activity Center, and The Palace Coral Gables (self-contained accommodations and services for seniors) in Coral Gables, Florida.
