During the I Sinop Brain Awareness Week occured several interventions with the goal to inform the population about relevant questions concerning the brain. From educacional practices to the execution of lectures for university students and public health personnel. Those were the activities that happened in March. At the beginning of the week happened several interventions at schools, the aim was to bring information to educators and turn them into active agents of the students mental health. Problems concerning the learning process and behavior of the children inside the school composed the center of what was talked about. As the project reached its end there was a conference inside a space of Sinop Clínica (a private clinic of the city). Lectures ministered by specialists of mental health, neurophysiology and cognition, addressed to health workers and students focused on updating about those subjects, contributing with the formation of old and new professionals.

The students were very excited about the neurosciences and the people have talked about I Sinop Brain Awareness Week for several days, because it doesn’t happen events about the brain many times in Sinop.

The information was very helpful.
