Harvard-Level Brain Testing… From a Mouse? | Dr. Mark Tommerdahl | The Dr. Mollie James Show

Is your brain really healthy—or just coping?

In this episode of The Dr. Mollie James Show, Dr. James is joined by Dr. Mark Tommerdahl, retired neuroscience researcher from UNC and creator of the Brain Gauge—a groundbreaking device that painlessly and non-invasively measures your brain’s health in real time.

Together, they discuss:

How vibrating your fingertips can reveal early signs of dementia or brain injury

The true reason brain games on your phone may be useless

Why most neurologic assessments miss the mark

How you can train and improve your brain at home

The massive potential of hyperbaric oxygen therapy, electroceuticals, and neuroplasticity tools

How the U.S. military helped fund a device to monitor brain health over a service member’s lifetime

With over 140 published studies and use in elite clinics, Brain Gauge is transforming how we screen, track, and even train the brain—whether you’re facing TBI, memory loss, or just want to stay sharp.
