Welcome to the BAW Montreal Wiki

Welcome! This is a place where EVERYONE can contribute to improving the Brain Awareness Week initiative.

We are volunteers from BAW Montreal and cannot represent the entire BAW initiative so we kindly invite all BAW volunteers from across the world to help us build a site to educate others about the wonders of the brain.

Help spread the word about how cool the brain is! Help us fill in these pages about the brain or create your own. The possibilities are endless. Write about your own research in neuroscience or a topic that most interests you. Just remember to write in a clear and easy-to-understand way to make these pages accessible to a general audience.

Here are the Topics We Care About:

• Neuroanatomy
• Early Brain Development
• The Neuron
• Glia
• The Five Senses
• The Synapse
• The Action Potential
• Neurotransmitters
• Ion Channels
• Membrane Potential
• Pain
• Movement

• Emotion
• Sleep and Dreaming
• Addiction
• Language

• and more...
