March is a host to National Brain Awareness. A student life organization at Central Michigan University is putting on a series of events this week.
Brain Awareness week is the global campaign to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of brain research.
It's a worldwide celebration of the brain that brings together scientists, families, schools, and communities.
Gary Dunbar is the Director of the Neuroscience program at CMU. He said it is a way to let the general public know about advances in brain research.
"That includes students and other faculty that aren't really aware of what we're doing in the brain research and integrated neuroscience center. The type of research we do and the contributions we make to understanding how the brain functions and finding potential treatments for brain injury and disease." Dunbar said.
The CMU Neuroscience society will be hosting lab tours.
Event speakers are scheduled throughout the week.
