Today is world stroke awareness day! In the Nether

Today is world stroke awareness day! In the Netherlands more than 30,000 people a year suffer a stroke for the first time.

With stroke it's very important that a person gets care fast, thus it's important that we are all able to recognize a stroke.

For this the acronym F.A.S.T. (in Dutch it's G.A.S.T.; Gezicht, Arm, Spraak en Tijd) has been made:

👉Face drooping: in a stroke it's common for one side of the face to droop or to become numb. This can be seen if you ask the person to smile, the smile will be uneven.
👉Arm weakness: one arm often becomes weak or numb, this can be seen if you ask the person to raise both their arms. Is one of them drifting downward?
👉Speech: this often becomes slurred. The person is often hard to understand or even unable to speak.
👉Time to call 112! It's very important that if you suspect a stroke, that help arrives very quickly!

Excited to explore the fascinating world of neuroscience? 🧠🫶

The Dutch Brain Olympiad is the perfect opportunity to have fun while learning more about the brain. While it’s all about enjoying the experience, we also challenge you to test your knowledge in several rounds.

👉Here’s what to expect:

1️⃣Multiple choice questions: Answer multiple-choice questions to put your brain knowledge to the test.

2️⃣Patient Diagnosis: Step into the role of a doctor and diagnose a patient based on a detailed case description.

3️⃣Brain Anatomy: Participate in a live brain dissection, where you'll learn both theory and practical skills by exploring brain structures up close.

🏆If you rank among the top participants, you’ll advance to the finale to compete for the title of Brain Expert of 2025!

RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) is a molecule that makes proteins to help carry out the instructions stored in DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid). Scientists have recently discovered that certain types of RNA, called noncoding RNAs, don't make proteins but instead control how genes work, deciding when they are turned on or off. This important discovery earned Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.

The Dutch Brain bee is part of @ibb_org, a global competition for high school students who love learning about the brain! Participants dive into topics like how the brain works, nerve functions, brain diseases, and the latest research.

🇳🇱It all starts with local national competitions and finals. The top winner get to represent the Netherlands at the international championship!

🌍With students from over 50 countries involved, it’s an awesome way to connect with peers and scientists from around the world.

Have you ever wondered why you can concentrate better in some seasons than in others? 🤔

Scientists have shown that your brain activity can differ depending on the season. Their main findings show that attention is best in summer and your working memory in the autumn. 🌞🍁
