विश्व मस्तिष्क दिवस का इतिहास 22 जुलाई 1957 का है, जब द वर्ल्ड फेडरेशन ऑफ न्यूरोलॉजी की स्थापना की गई थी. इसी समिति ने विश्व मस्तिष्क दिवस मनाए जाने की वकालत की थी, जिसके बाद मस्तिष्क के स्वास्थ्य के प्रति जागरूकता फैलाने के लिए 22 जुलाई 2014 को पहली बार वर्ल्ड ब्रेन डे मनाया गया था. हालांकि 22 सितंबर 2013 को इस दिवस को मनाए जाने की घोषणा की गई थी.


विश्व मस्तिष्क दिवस का मुख्य उद्देश्य सार्वजनिक जागरूकता को बढ़ाना और मस्तिष्क से संबंधित वकालत को बढ़ावा देना है.
