This Month in Psychopharmacology

Brain Awareness Week: March 16-22, 2026

Brain Awareness Week

Each March, the global community comes together to celebrate Brain Awareness Week, a campaign dedicated to fostering enthusiasm and support for brain science. Launched by the Dana Foundation, Brain Awareness Week highlights the incredible impact neuroscience has on our everyday lives and encourages public engagement with brain research and education.


At NEI, we share this commitment to advancing the understanding of brain science. Our mission is to help clinicians translate neuroscience into better patient care through accessible, engaging educational resources.


Whether you're exploring brain circuits, deepening your knowledge of psychopharmacology, or staying current with the latest neuroscience insights, NEI provides tools designed to make complex topics easier to understand and apply in clinical practice.


This Brain Awareness Week, we invite you to explore NEI’s educational resources and join us in celebrating the science of the brain.
