Whereas, Brain Awareness Week is a nationally recognized event, and The Cellular
and Clinical Neurobiology Program at Wayne State University School of Medicine
has taken an active role in the past decade to engage Michigan’s citizens
during this occasion; and,
Whereas, It is critical for knowledge and information regarding the brain be
passed into the general community to raise public awareness of the brain; and,
Whereas, Brain Awareness Week allows the general public to learn more about
how the brain works and what happens when things go wrong, such as in movement
and psychiatric disorders; and,
Whereas, Throughout this week, people of all ages enjoy lectures about drug
abuse, neuroanatomy, psychiatric disorders and other neuropathological disorders,
hands-on activities and live demonstrations of human brains; and,
Whereas, Growing numbers of people are diagnosed with neuropathologies such
as Parkinson’s disease, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and Schizophrenia,
in addition to growing concern for drug abuse and dependence; and now therefore
be it,
Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State
of Michigan, do hereby proclaim the week of March 10, 2003, as Brain Awareness
Week in Michigan.
