BAW’s activities realized in Uruguaiana/RS/Brazil and its proposals.

Activity	Proposal	Methodology	Number of Participants
Neuroanatomy Workshop	The aim of this workshop was to address specific aspects of nervous system anatomy, relating them to the functions of the different anatomical regions.	The activity was performed in the Human Anatomy Laboratory, organized by students and taught by a Professor of Neuroanatomy. The students used anatomical parts of NS and work in small groups trying identify each part and its function.	30
Prezi Workshop	Prezi is a tool, freely available online, totally different from the other programs for creating slideshows. It gives the user the freedom to organize content in a visual map, opening the possibility of creating non-linear presentations. This tool has been widely used in scientific circles, for presentations at events. Thus, this workshop was held with the aim to empower its use, important for facilitating scientific communication.	The practical activity was conducted in the university computer lab and taught by a professional from the computational area. The participants used the online version of Prezi and learning while used the program.	30
Attention and Reaction Time Lecture	This lecture aimed to show the relationship between attention and reaction time tasks, involving multiple structures of the nervous system.	The activity was organized by students and taught by a Professor of Neuromechanics. After a brief theoretical explanation, practical activities were performed. Using a software to measure the reaction time (RT) the participants evaluate their RT in different situation, e.g., in simple and dual tasks, with divided attention.	30
Neurophysiology of Learning and Memory Workshop	The goal of this workshop was to understand the classification of memories (types) and the processes involved in the neurophysiology of memory, including acquisition, consolidation, retrieval, extinction, reactivation and reconsolidation.	This activity was organized by students and taught by invited students with experience in learning and memory research. After a theoretical part, memory evaluations were performed using clinical memory tests.	30
Language Lecture	All animals communicate with each other, but only humans speak and write. This is because human language has a specific neurophysiologic basis. This lecture aimed to discuss key points related to this.	The activity was taught by a professional from the speech area. During a dynamic lecture, practical activities related to language functions were done.	30
Physical and Cognitive Activities and its Influence on Central Nervous System (CNS) Functions Workshop	It is known that the practice of regular physical exercise promotes several changes, including cardiorespiratory benefits, increased bone mineral density and decreased risk of chronic degenerative diseases. Also, keeping active may lead to improvements in cognitive function. Recent publications suggest that the cognitive activity can have beneficial effects on CNS functions. The objective of this activity was to discuss the theoretical benefits of physical and cognitive activities in the light of scientific data, as well as to demonstrate various types of beneficial activities that can be performed.	The activity was organized by students and taught by a professor and invited students with experience in research. After discussions based in some authors and publications in the area, the participants were asked to develop, in small groups, physical and cognitive interventions that can benefit the health of the nervous system.	30
Production and Presentation of Posters related to the NS Physiology	This activity promoted undergraduate students to present some aspects of neurophysiology research. The topics chosen by the students were: “Physiology of the senses” (Students of the first Physiology course of Nursing and Physiotherapy); “Mechanisms of action of some medicinal products on the CNS” (Pharmacy students); and, “Relationship between NS and other human body systems” (Students of the second Physiology course of Nursing and Physiotherapy).	This activity was organized and conducted by students of Physiology courses that participated in activity in groups, and each group had its specific period to present the results to the public.	124 students of Physiology courses and the public that was not measured.
