Student initiative · Uzbekistan · since 2025
NeuroHope is not just a project. It's a belief that even a small act of kindness can awaken something extraordinary in a child's heart.
We go into boarding homes, hospitals and kindergartens and run games for memory, attention and motor skills, then explain, in plain words, what just happened inside the brain.

01 · About
NeuroHope is a student initiative. We work with children who have developmental delays, children in boarding homes and state care, and children in long treatment.
Every session opens with games and ends with a gift. At first many are shy and quiet; by the end they laugh, ask questions and look at the world with brighter eyes.
Step 1 · Who
Children with developmental delays, the Muruvvat children's homes, children on an oncology ward and specialised kindergartens: the places where attention runs shortest.
Step 2 · What we do
Games for memory, attention, fine motor skills and movement. After each exercise we explain in plain words what just happened in the brain.
Step 3 · Why
The games are played together: children help each other and volunteers sit beside them. The child who was shy at the start is laughing and asking questions by the end.
02 · A session
The institution sets the day and the group; the team brings the rest.
01
We contact a children's home, a specialised kindergarten or a hospital and agree a day and a group that suit the children.
02
We ask the institution about the children who live there and prepare exercises to match them: their age, abilities and interests.
03
Three or four coordinators work together, sitting with each child separately, explaining the game and talking with them. Nobody is left out.
04
At the end of the session we hand out gifts in the style of the game: coloured pencils after a drawing game, Lego after a building one.
03 · Reach
Only sessions with a report in the channel are counted here.
That is the sum of the five sessions where a headcount was published. The other reports do not give one, and we do not estimate.

Muruvvat Children's Boarding Home No. 2
On 14 September we spent a warm day with the children of Muruvvat children's home No. 2.
We played NeuroHope brain-activation games designed to wake up cognitive skills and creative energy. Before saying goodbye we gave gifts to help with their daily routine.

Specialized Preschool No. 37, Angren
On 18 August the NeuroHope and Mehrli Toys teams visited specialised preschool No. 37 in Angren.
We laughed together through interactive games and a quiz, and gave every child one of Mehrli Toys' lovingly collected toys. For a child a toy is not just an object but a trusted friend.

Center for Children's Oncology, Hematology and Immunology
The NeuroHope team visited the Centre for Children's Oncology, Hematology and Immunology. The aim was simply to bring a smile and some strength to our little heroes.
The interactive games the team prepared brought a festive spirit to the ward. Medicine treats the body; it is love and attention that give the strength to live.

Starts International University
On a Saturday at 10:00, fifteen children aged 5 to 9 came together at Starts International University.
Through interactive games we worked on motor skills and memory, and the room filled with energy, laughter and smiles. We ended with small gifts: sweets, Lego and coloured markers.

KindergartenSamarkand
Samarkand, kindergarten
On 22 November we held another neuroscience session for preschool children in Samarkand.
After every hands-on activity we explained what had just happened in their brains: how neurons send signals, how we sense the world, why we remember, how emotions shape us. The children experimented, asked questions and grasped through play ideas many people first meet at school or university.

Kashkadarya, kindergarten
In Kashkadarya the local ambassador introduced kindergarten children to the world of neuroscience.
The simplest ideas about the brain and nervous system came through play. The aim was less to teach than to spark curiosity, encourage questions, and show that science can be exciting from an early age.

32children
Parkent district
Our ambassador organised a NeuroHope event in the Parkent district of Tashkent region: 32 children came to learn about the most incredible organ, the human brain.
Through experiments and interactive games they discovered how we think, feel and remember: how neurons send signals, and why emotions affect our decisions.

Stars University
Our very first NeuroHope event took place at Stars University. More than twenty children with developmental delays joined us for simple but powerful exercises: all we needed were coloured markers, imagination and kindness.
We worked on memory and fine motor skills together. Some children were shy at first, others full of energy, but by the end every one of them smiled. We finished with small gifts and a group photo.
05 · Brain facts
The team publishes science-backed facts about the brain in plain words. Press a card for the science behind it.
The science
Right before sleep the brain drops its logical limits and creativity rises sharply.
How to try it
Doze off holding a key: it drops and wakes you: write down the first thought. Edison and Dalí used exactly this trick.
Post in the channelThe science
The brain judges pain partly by what the eyes can see.
How to try it
Hide the injured hand and look at the healthy one's reflection: the brain lowers the pain signal.
Post in the channelThe science
Ice water on the face triggers the mammalian dive reflex: the vagus nerve fires and the heart slows.
How to try it
When anxious, dip your face in ice water for fifteen seconds.
Post in the channelThe science
Stochastic resonance: steady background noise filters out distracting neural signals.
How to try it
Play white noise, such as rain or wind, while you work.
Post in the channelThe science
The 1906 Nobel laureate proved the nervous system is not one continuous net but a network of separate cells: neurons.
How to try it
He also found that signals travel one way, from dendrites to the axon, and drew neurons by hand; those drawings are still in textbooks.
