No Brain Behind
Podcast Description
No Brain Behind is the official podcast of the Society for Equity Neuroscience (SEQUINS), a global initiative committed to advancing equity in brain health. 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. Whether you’re a scientist, student, policymaker, or simply curious, this podcast offers a deeper look at how we can move toward more just and inclusive brain health systems. Because when it comes to the brain, everyone matters.

In recognition of World Brain Day, No Brain Behind welcomes Dr. Natalia S. Rost, President of the American Academy of Neurology, for a conversation about the AAN Brain Health Initiative and its effort to make prevention a central part of neurological care.
Dr. Rost explains why neurology must move beyond treating disease after symptoms appear and instead focus on protecting brain health across the entire lifespan. She outlines the initiative’s four pillars of science, patient care, public education, and public policy, while discussing what it will take to turn preventive neurology into everyday clinical practice.
The conversation also explores why brain health cannot be separated into individual diagnoses, how social and environmental conditions shape neurological outcomes, and why progress depends on collaboration across medicine, public health, advocacy, and policy.
This World Brain Day episode offers a timely vision for making lifelong brain health accessible to everyone and making prevention the expectation, not the exception.
