Brain Awareness Week enters its next decade. Join us in celebrating Brain Awareness Week's Tenth Anniversary in North America, March 14-20, 2006.
Brain Awareness Week is an international effort organized by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives to advance public awareness about the progress and benefits of brain research. The Dana Alliance is joined in the campaign by partners in the United States and around the world, including medical and research organizations; patient advocacy groups; the National Institutes of Health, and other government agencies; service groups; hospitals and universities; K-12 schools; and professional organizations.
In Argentina Brain Awareness Week is coordinated by Maria Almeida from TWC International in the month of July
