Welcome

 The brain is the most important organ of the nervous system and the main  commander of the the body. It gives rise to phenomena as varied as  thoughts, memory, movement, and emotions. Deficits in these systems can cause intellectual and developmental disorders such as Down’s syndrome, behavioral disorders such as ADHD and autism spectrum disorders, learning disabilities and reading disabilities, mental health problems such as schizophrenia, degenerative  diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s, and many other types of  disorders which are common in today's world. 

  Currently, the fundamental mechanisms behind how the brain works under physiological and pathological circumstances as well as clinical symptoms are being investigated in laboratories around the world. However, there is little immediate effort to bring the results out to the general audience and to students,  and most online educators offer paid services. BrainAwareness GBG will serve to translate current research in Neuroscience. The aim is to encourage scientific interest in Neuroscience  as well as fostering an acceptance for neurodiversity. It will also give people the opportunity to interact with like-minded peers as well as with scientists. 

All outreach activities on social media and on the website will be free of charge. You can join our reading club which takes place every other month for 5 USD. One-to-one tuition in cellular and systems Neuroscience on school and undergraduate level can be booked by emailing ranjita.duttaroy@brainawareness.se. We are also happy to work as 'sounding boards' for your research project in cellular Neurobiology. We charge 20 USD per hour for tuition.
