‘Whangarei Brain Day’ now out on DVD

The ‘Whangarei Brain Day’ was held in March this year in collaboration with the Neurological Foundation of New Zealand.  It was part of an international effort to communicate the wonder and achievements of brain research and included lectures by leading neuroscientists and clinical neurology experts.

Community organisations that support people with a brain related disorder were also present and talked about the many valuable services they provide in the community and how people can access their services.
