The World Federation of Neurology was the first to establish World Brain Day as a worldwide commemoration. This organization was founded in 1957 in Belgium and is now one of the most prominent promoters of neurology and brain health research in the world. Although mental health is currently a well-documented topic with several initiatives and international programs in place, brain health refers to the preservation of neurons and the central nervous system. Many factors can have an impact on our mental health, emphasizing the importance of this commemoration.

The World Federation of Neurology is an international organization made up of neurologists from various countries. The holiday’s date, July 22, honors not only the World Federation of Neurology’s foundation in 1957 but also the crafting of the organization’s first constitution. The World Federation of Neurology is also responsible for several publications and periodicals targeted at furthering neurology research and educating a wider audience about the field.

As of today, the World Federation of Neurology is one of the strongest professional associations in the world, with an ever-increasing outreach. It accounts for more than 100 member organizations, as well as several specialized groups within the organization. It has effectively fostered training, education, and neurology research, and it is one of the most important aspects of making neurology more accessible to the general public. It has taken numerous initiatives to raise awareness of brain health, including the establishment of an annual international event.
