Result of logo and slogan contests for the LATINOAMERICAN brain initiative – LATBrain

Neurosciences have gained great relevance in the world in the last ten years. Developed countries have made a historic investment in understanding the mysteries of the brain and turning this new knowledge to the prevention, treatment, and cure of diseases of the nervous system, the development of new technologies, and the promotion of changes in education, culture, economy and other areas of life in society. Latin America has begun to take its first steps in this endeavor, counting on a historical heritage in studies on the nervous system, characterized by a culture of cooperation that has brought together renowned researchers from the region. Therefore, we can contribute from Latin America to the area of ​​knowledge of the nervous system and thus contribute to essential transformations in various aspects of society.

The mission of the Latin American Brain Initiative is to promote and advance research on the nervous system through research collaboration and knowledge exchange, to expand the scope of our research, to disseminate new knowledge and scientific applications for the benefit of our countries and the world.

Considering these concepts, LATBrain implemented the contest to select a logo with proposals from Brazil, Mexico, and Uruguay. A committee of LATBrain members evaluated the recommendations and then presented the winning design.
