Brain Awareness Week is the global campaign to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of brain research. It unites the efforts of partner organisations from around the world in a week-long celebration of the brain every year in mid-March. It was founded by the Dana Alliance for Brain Initiatives in 1995 and is coordinated by the Dana Foundation. Strategic partners include the Society for Neuroscience, the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies, and the International Brain Research Organisation.

Types of events held each year are: lectures, panel discussions, neuroscience lab tours, art exhibitions, brain fairs, and lessons for school students. The Dana foundation offers free materials and event-planning advice on its website.

There is support from leading universities’ neuroscience schools, neuroscience publishers, national and student neuroscience societies.

About Our Brains

Even though the brain is only about 2% of our body mass, they are fully in control of our body.  For example: the brain controls all of the functions we need to survive including heart beating, speech, thought and reasoning, emotions, breathing, eating, digesting, our senses and physical movement. The brain uses 20% of both the oxygen we breathe and the blood flow in our bodies, and requires a constant flow of oxygen to survive.

As most of us know, our brain is protected by our skull so that it can withstand wear and tear, and while the brain itself doesn’t feel pain, it sends pain signals to other parts of our bodies.

The brain’s structure, however, is quite complex. Each different function occurs in different locations in our brains: brain stem, cerebrum, cerebellum and limbic system. When there is a trauma to a particular location in the brain, those systems are directly affected. For example, if damage occurs to the brain stem from stroke, things such as swallowing, blood pressure, involuntary movements and heart rate are affected.  If damage occurs in the cerebellum, balance and movement will be negatively affected.

What The Brain And Nervous System Does

Our brain and nervous system control how our entire body functions, so neurological research plays a huge role in discovering causes of, and treatments, and preventative measures for psychological and medical disorders.

The brain has a delicate chemical balance, and when that balance is disrupted, it can cause mental health disorders, including depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia.  Understanding the neuroscience behind these disorders can help diagnose and treat the conditions.

Protecting Your Brain Health

Brain Awareness Week was created to educate the public about the progress into brain research along with prevention, diagnosis and treatment of brain disorders like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases.  The brain is complex and plays a significant role in the overall health and well being of a person, so it is important to continue to support neurological research. Knowledge about the brain will help foster the prevention, accurate diagnosis, and treatment of many conditions and keep people healthy, and is why BAW week is so important.

The brain controls your motor, emotional and sensory functioning, along with your cognitive health, which regulates thinking, learning and memory.  It is encouraged that we all spend some time learning about the many jobs your brain performs for you, and the actions you can take to keep it healthy.  To help protect the health of your brain, consider the following steps.

• See Your Doctor Regularly. You can improve many chronic health problems that may affect your brain health (including high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and depression) by getting all screenings and vaccinations. Certain medications have side effects that may impact your memory, brain function and sleep quality.
• Limit The Use Of Alcohol/Stop Smoking:  Both smoking and alcohol consumption can cause dangerous side effects when combined with certain medications.
• Stimulate Your Mind: Research has found that intellectual engagement may improve your cognitive abilities by learning new skills, taking up a new hobby or doing volunteer work.
• Regular Physical Activity:  Regular exercise can give you energy, improve balance, improve your mood, and help delay or prevent chronic health conditions.
• Communication With Others:   To keep your brain engaged and active, visit with friends, spending time with loved ones, or enjoy group social activities.  Your brain may benefit from increasing your interactions with others.

Helping Our Brain Through Dietary Changes

By focusing on nutrition, you can reduce the risk of a variety of diseases, and you may help keep your brain healthy. Be sure your diet includes plenty of fruits and vegetables, lean meats and fish, whole grains, and low-fat dairy products.

Even though there is no direct evidence linking any foods with prevention of Alzheimer’s or dementia, we can improve our eating habits to improve our overall health, which will in turn positively impact our brain health.  By include the following foods, you will improve your brain health:

1. Food sources of vitamin E such as vegetable oil, seeds, avocado, nuts, and whole grains
2. Sources of antioxidants help protect brain neurons, including vitamin A, C,D, E, K found in brightly colored fruits and vegetables such as blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and acai berries as well as other produce.
3. Fish containing omega-3 fatty acid.
4. Foods such as dark green leafy vegetables like kale, spinach and greens containing folate and vitamin E.
5. Beans and all  legumes can help stabilise our blood sugar, which also provides energy for the brain.
6. Coffee, tea and dark chocolate; caffeine consumed in these forms (in moderation) can stimulate mental acuity.

In addition to these foods, do not underestimate the importance of drinking enough water.  Short term memory and decision making can be impaired when our bodies and brains are dehydrated.
