Details of Major Brain Awareness Week Events/Activities:
The goal of doing The Brain Awareness Week at the University Center of Exact Sciences and Engineering of the University of Guadalajara was to bring university students to the area of research in neuroscience and engineering and invite them to integrate. This year the theme was “Brain biochemistry”. Lectures were organized in three themes: clinical neurosciences, basic neurosciences and neurosciences with applications in engineering. There was a very active participation on the part of the students, professors and coordinators of the institutions.
