The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) is inviting the public to take part in its first ever Brain Awareness Week as part of a global campaign to raise awareness of brain research, brain disease and the amazing power of the brain.

From 13 – 17 March the University will screen a series of films that address some of the major conditions that affect brain function such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. The free events will also include visits from charity representatives to focus and inform public thinking on brain diseases and what to do to help.

Throughout the event, you may have a go at IQ-style puzzle sheets from Mensa UK and enter a competition to win a Mensa UK hoodie (prize draw on Friday, 17 Mar).
