De BrainHelpDesk is opgericht om te helpen bij het vinden van betrouwbare informatie over de hersenen. Om de hersenen te begrijpen is kennis nodig uit veel verschillende vakgebieden, van psychologie tot computerwetenschap en van linguïstiek tot biologie. Wij zoeken bij elke vraag die aan ons gesteld wordt een geschikte expert, binnen of buiten het Donders Instituut, om de vraag te beantwoorden. Op deze manier proberen we wetenschappelijke informatie over de werking van de hersenen op een begrijpelijke manier te delen met iedereen die er meer over wil weten, in begrijpelijke taal.

Did you know your brain contains 100 billion neurons sending information every second?
Every March, Brain Awareness Week brings together communities worldwide to share the wonders of the brain and highlight groundbreaking brain research that impacts our daily lives.
From controlling vital functions like breathing to shaping our memories and decisions, the brain is truly incredible. Despite its complexity, brain diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson’s, and strokes affect millions globally—and research is our hope for better treatments and cures.
Join us this Brain Awareness Week to celebrate brain science, support neuroscience research, and inspire curiosity about the organ that defines us. Together, we can push the boundaries of knowledge and improve lives!
𝗤𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝗙𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀:
- The brain is about 60% fat and 73% water.
- It can survive 5-6 minutes without oxygen.
- Full maturity isn’t reached until around age 25.
- Brain research uses advanced tools like MRI, fMRI, EEG, and PET scans.
Let’s spread awareness and support brain science for a healthier future for all ages!
