🎃 This Halloween, let’s turn fear into hope. 🎃 While some are scared by the unknown, Brain Research Foundation, is driven to uncover it. Every breakthrough in brain research brings us closer to understanding and overcoming the mysteries of neurological conditions.🧠 Learn how you can support research that sheds light in the darkest places. Together, we can conquer the unknown. 👻🔬 www.thebrf.org #brainresearch #halloween #charity #neuroscience

True or False: The human brain has more neurons than there are stars in the Milky Way? False – but both numbers are equally mind-blowing! The Milky Way contains between 100 billion and 400 billion stars, though the exact number is hard to pinpoint. In comparison, the human brain holds about 86 billion neurons. Still pretty incredible, right? Each neuron connects with thousands of others, creating an intricate network that drives everything we think, feel, and do. We’re only just scratching the surface of understanding this complexity. At the Brain Research Foundation, we fund vital research to uncover the brain's mysteries, paving the way for revolutionary treatments and better brain health for all.

🧠 Shining a spotlight on Rebekah C. Evans, Ph.D. from Georgetown University ! With support from the 2023 Dementia Society of America Seed Grant, Dr. Evans is diving into how exercise affects the brain. Her team is looking at what happens inside brain cells during exercise to better understand how it can protect against diseases like Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s, and how it helps keep our minds sharp. This research is a key step in understanding how staying active benefits both body and brain!

BRF would like to wish a happy 4th of July to all our researchers, donors, and followers! We hope you all thoroughly enjoy the celebrations and have a wonderful day surrounded by friends and family.

June 4th is Cancer Survivors Day. This is an annual celebration that honors those who have overcome cancer and the challenges that come with it. It is a day to recognize the strength, courage, and resilience of cancer survivors and to raise awareness about the ongoing battle against cancer. This day also serves as a reminder that cancer does not define a person's life and that there is hope in the face of this disease. It is a time to come together and celebrate life, while also supporting those who are still fighting. #brainresearch #brainhealth #cancersurvivor
