Students from Montreal area high schools assemble at The Neuro to be quizzed about synapses, axons and other cerebral facts in the international contest known as the Brain Bee. The winner will go on to the Canadian National Brain Bee. The national winner travels to the International Brain Bee. The Brain Bee is a bilingual event where contestants answer questions about the brain and the nervous system, including such diverse topics as memory, sleep, emotion, perception, stress, aging, brain-imaging, neurology, genetics, and brain disease. The competition begins with a written neuroanatomy quiz followed by a round of questions. The top contestants compete in the final round.

Brain Awareness Week Open House at the MNI
As part of Montreal's Brain Awareness Week, the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital 鈥� The Neuro opens its doors to 60 elementary students. The students will have the chance to participate in fun, hands-on workshops designed to captivate young students, where they will learn about the brain and how it is studied. In plain language and with plenty of humour, The Neuro鈥檚 researchers will take students on a trip through the nervous system. In a workshop on brain anatomy, students will have a chance to observe and even touch a real human brain. Students will get to see some of the most sophisticated neuroscience machines - magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) used for diagnostics and for scientific discovery; magnetoencephalography (MEG) for mapping the brain鈥檚 activity, and more. The day culminates in a dynamic keynote lecture designed to both inform and inspire the students.
