Background and Audience
Background
-
Neurological diseases have now overtaken cardiovascular diseases to be the world’s leading cause of morbidity and morbidity largely due to increasingly disparate outcomes across the globe
-
As such several organizations, are prioritizing initiatives to assure optimal brain health for all in the 21st Century
-
However, there are prominent differences in the ability of certain groups to achieve optimal brain health.
-
These longstanding inequities in neurological outcomes continue largely unabated, unresolved, and unexplained, despite major advances in the management of neurological disease
-
Projections indicate the neurological inequities by sex/gender, race/ethnicity, socioeconomic status, geography (rural/ethnic), and global region (especially LMICs) will get worse over time
Audience
-
Neurologists, psychiatrists, neurosurgeons, internists, pediatricians, geriatricians, basic/translational neuroscientists, epidemiologists, population health scientists, health services researchers, health equity researchers, global health researchers, and health policy researchers
EQN Aims and Scope
-
Equity Neuroscience publishes the scholarly progress of multi-, inter-, and trans-disciplinary research work to understand, address, and ultimately eliminate neurological disparities
-
EQN publishes all types of original research, including studies conducted with human subjects and experimental models, as well as applied clinical, epidemiological, and healthcare policy papers.
-
In-depth reviews, original articles, national and international meeting abstracts, and special focus editions, help broaden the reader’s knowledge and understanding of equity neuroscience
-
Topics covered within EQN include, but are not limited to, cerebrovascular disease, Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, epilepsy, migraine, neurological infections, movement disorders, multiple sclerosis, neuromuscular disorders, peripheral nerve disorders, pediatric neurology, sleep disorders, and traumatic brain injury
NBB Podcast Description
-
No Brain Behind is a podcast aimed at cultivating a consequential community of individuals interested in, inspired by, and informed about the science of brain health equity, through candid, collegial, and continuous conversations
-
In No Brain Behind, we chat with guests who are advancing the multi- and inter- disciplinary field of equity neuroscience by way of their research, role, reach, or resources
-
We have dynamic discussions with article authors, funded investigators, award recipients, organization leaders, and policy makers, about the latest developments in and future directions of equity neuroscience, as well as glean career wisdom from these guests for our early career listeners
