Brain Awareness Week 2006
12 - 18 March

    The Brain Awareness Week campaign, now in its eighth year, has united the Society for Neuroscience with The Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives and a coalition of over 440 science, advocacy, and other health organizations that share an interest in elevating public awareness of brain and nervous system research. During the week-long educational blitz, Society members will sponsor a variety of educational activities for the general public including lectures, lab tours, classroom visits, and exhibits across North America to demonstrate the importance of basic neuroscience research to the health and well-being of the American public.
    The New Mexico Chapter of the Society and the Department of Neurosciences at UNM will mark this year's Brain Awareness week with an annual Neuroscience Day and awards for neuroscience-related projects and an information booth at the NW New Mexico Regional Science and Engineering Fair .  The 2006 Walker Award for Neuroscience Research will be awarded at this time.
