ORtoday, July 22, is the World Brain Day (WBD, or World Brain Day). Every year this day marries a claim, on which professionals of the sector question themselves. The slogan of WBD 2022 is “Brain health for all”. Here’s what it means.
World Brain Day: “Health for all”
According to what we read from the website of the World Federation of Neurology“today our brains continue to be challenged by pandemics, wars, climate change and a myriad of ailments impacting human existence globally“.
Thus, the World Brain Day arrives precisely to raise awareness on these issues. “It is made up of billions of electrical wires known as neurons. This distance is equivalent to traveling around the earth four times in a row. There are thought to be around one hundred billion neurons inside it. There are about ten trillion connections between these neurons that help us read, write, watch, learn, plan, think, feel, move and solve everyday problems. “
Fighting neurodegenerative diseases
There are five key messages shared by the campaign of World Federation of Neurology. Awareness (“Brain health is vital for mental, social and physical well-being”), prevention (“Many diseases can be prevented”), advocacy (“Comprehensive efforts are needed for optimal brain health”).
But also instruction (“Education for all is essential for health”) e access (“Equal access to resources, care and rehabilitation is essential for brain health”).
