In honor of this year's Brain Awareness Week March 12-18, 2018, The Friedman Brain Institute at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai joins the Dana Foundation in its global efforts to increase public awareness of the progress and benefits of brain research via several initiatives, including a free art exhibit. The opening reception is being on Monday, March 12th, from 6-8pm at The Alexis Grady Gallery, where each researcher will speak about their image and the work they do in their lab. The Art of the Brain is an exhibition of photographs, medical illustrations and sculptures that celebrates the beauty of the brain as seen through the eyes of some of the world's leading researchers. With the aid of the latest technological advances, as symbolized by these images, scientists are better able to understand how the brain works and to accelerate the development of new treatments for many brain disorders including Alzheimer's disease, autism, drug addiction, schizophrenia and Parkinson's disease, among many others.
