摘要：Recently the popularization and dissemination of science have gained significant expansion. The sciences related to the brain such as neurochemistry and neurophysiology stand out in this scenario. An initiative that would have helped a lot in this process is the Brain Awareness Week, which contributes to the dissemination of the benefits of scientific research in this area. Here we report actions of dissemination and popularization of neuroscience held in the city of Uruguayana/RS/Brazil during the Brain Awareness Week in 2013. Various actions in different contexts and environments were conducted. The results show the importance of the proposed actions for dissemination of neuroscience and neurochemistry to the population. Actions meeting the first objective of popularizing scientific concepts and were very well accepted by participating public, allowing the community approach with the university and with the discourses and practices of neuroscience and its areas.
