Students in the 5th to 8th grades can stock up on "brain food" at the 10th annual Brain Awareness Week, a science- and health-education-based fair taking place in various cities dotting the nation.
Washington, D.C.'s version of the fair is going on now through Mar. 20 at the National Museum of Health and Medicine at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Youth can participate in interactive exhibits and lectures addressing brain health and neuroscience at any of several National Institutes of Health facilities.
The brain-focused week represents an international gathering of government agencies, scientific organizations, universities, and volunteer groups, headed by a nonprofit group, Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives, which is comprised of more than 200 neuroscientists.
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) Director Thomas R. Insel, MD, said the groups "hope to seize this opportunity to inspire young people" with the intrigue of brain science.
