THE BRAIN IN CATÓLICA 2021 | International Brain Week
From March 15 to 21 the International Brain Awareness Week - BAW is celebrated, an international initiative organised by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives - The Dana Foundation, since 1996, with the purpose of disseminating to the public the progress and benefits of scientific research in the area of the brain.
The Instituto de Ciências da Saúde of Universidade Católica Portuguesa, similarly to partner organisations from all over the world, participates again, this year with an entirely online initiative.
5 days, 5 questions, 5 researchers is the event that the teaching team of the Master's Degree in Neuropsychology organized to mark this commemorative week by answering questions posed by children and young people.
The publication of the videos is made through the facebook page Há Saúde na Católica with the following schedule:
