Each episode features conversations with leading researchers, authors, clinicians, and advocates working to understand and address inequities in neurological care and outcomes. From the cellular to the societal, we explore how nervous system health is shaped by factors like race, geography, and socioeconomic status. With a focus on equity neuroscience, a transdisciplinary, public-interest science, we shine a light on both emerging research and the people driving change.
