Tech Confidential writes a smart piece on how the Staglins are firmly behind neurotech.

"The best hope for curing mental illness is neurotechnology," says Staglin Family Vineyard owner Garen Staglin, who with wife Shari stopped by our office recently to discuss their efforts to raise funds for mental health research and their hopes for neurotech companies. This class of biotechnology firm develops drugs, devices and diagnostics to fight a range of neurological disorders, such as Alzheimer's disease and schizophrenia.... Meanwhile, the family has raised $53 million for brain research, through efforts including the annual Music Festival for Mental Health, held each September at their Napa Valley vineyard (where, incidentally, the Lindsay Lohan re-make of "The Parent Trap" was filmed). Among the biggest contributors to their efforts are venture capitalists Larry Mohr of Mohr Davidow Ventures, Joe Schoendorf of Accel Partners and Silicon Valley Bank CEO Ken Wilcox.
