In this episode, we explore a pivotal congressional hearing on the global crisis of neglected brain health, focusing on the widespread impact of neurological conditions like Alzheimer's, autism, and hydrocephalus—especially in low- and middle-income countries. Experts emphasize the urgent need for increased international funding, diverse research, and improved healthcare systems to address these challenges. We discuss the proposed Global Brain Health Bill, strategies for prevention and early intervention during the critical first 1000 days of life, and the role of US leadership in driving global solutions. Discover how policy changes and scalable interventions could transform brain health worldwide.
