Welcome to the Neurons Project 2023! The Edmonton Epilepsy Association invites everyone to participate in this year-long learning, awareness, education and fundraising project. We launch the project in March 2023. The basic idea is as follows:
- Discover and learn important information about our neurons! We have more than 86 billions of them in our brain!
- Take photos and or videos of your neuron creations and share them with us.
- Fundraise with us! Guess how many neurons are in the plastic container (our brain jar) between November 1 and December 16, 2023 for a chance to win a special prize!
