The Brain Awareness Week is the annual global campaign organized by the Dana Foundation that shines a spotlight on the wonders of the brain and the importance of brain science in understanding and improving human health. Held each March, the Brain Awareness Week brings together scientists, educators, policymakers, and the public to celebrate the complexities of the brain and promote awareness of neurological research and advancements.

International Epilepsy Day is a global event celebrated annually on the second Monday in February. The initiative is organized by the International Bureau for Epilepsy and the International League Against Epilepsy to promote awareness on epilepsy right around the world.

For this special occasion we explored how Ugo Basile contributes to scientific research for epilepsy, helping to understand this neurological disorder that affects around 50 million people worldwide.
