About SEQUINS
"No brain behind, because all brains matter"
Over 3 billion individuals are affected by a neurological condition, which is the leading cause of illness and disability worldwide.
However, burden of neurological disease is unevenly distributed, with certain groups and regions being more affected than others (e.g., certain racial/ethnic groups, marginalized populations, people of lower socioeconomic status, and individuals living in underserved geographies including rural areas and low-income countries)
Equity neuroscience, a public interest science, is a multi‐, inter‐, and trans‐disciplinary academic field devoted to understanding inequities in the manifestations of nervous system health, from particles to people, at multiple interacting levels, with a bidirectional local to global scope. The Society for Equity Neuroscience (SEQUINS) founded in 2024 aims to enhance brain health around the world by improving equitable nervous system care and outcomes through research.
