🧠🌍 Gender Inequalities and Brain Health in the Global South A new study published in Nature Mental Health, with the participation of Sandra Báez and Agustín Ibáñez, explores how gender inequalities significantly impact brain health, particularly among women in the Global South. The research highlights that women face higher risks of cognitive decline and dementia due to a combination of biological factors—such as menopause and pregnancy-related complications—and social determinants, including limited access to education, healthcare disparities, and caregiving responsibilities. The study emphasizes how cultural norms and gender biases in healthcare systems often lead to misdiagnoses and inadequate treatments, exacerbating these challenges. It calls for the integration of gender-sensitive research and policies, supported by public engagement and multisectoral collaboration, to address these disparities effectively and promote equitable brain health. This work serves as a critical reminder of the importance of intersectionality in health and underscores the need for culturally informed, inclusive brain health strategies in underserved regions. https://t.ly/XRG1W  #GenderEquality #BrainHealth #GlobalSouth #Healthcare #MentalHealth #Neuroscience #Research Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez Escuela de Psicología UAI Universidad de San Andrés Centro de Neurociencias Cognitivas GERO CHILE Global Brain Health Institute (GBHI) Atlantic Fellows Trinity College Dublin LAC-CD ReDLat Dementia

🌍 The AAIC Neuroscience Next: Chile Hybrid Hub will take place from February 25-27, 2025, at Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez in Santiago, Chile, bringing together emerging researchers and internationally recognized experts to explore frontier topics in neuroscience and brain health. This event offers a unique platform for scientific exchange, promoting collaboration between early-career scholars and established leaders in the field. A key feature of the conference is the plenary session led by Dr. Enzo Tagliazucchi, titled "Computational Neuroscience and Diversity: Aging and Dementia; Psychedelics and Consciousness." This talk promises to highlight novel research that intersects computational methods, cognitive science, and diverse brain health challenges, including neurodegenerative conditions and altered states of consciousness induced by psychedelics. Dr. Tagliazucchi’s expertise in bridging these complex domains makes this session highly anticipated, offering both theoretical and applied insights relevant to the neuroscience community. Participants are invited to submit their abstracts and register through the provided links. This event represents an excellent opportunity to engage with cutting-edge research, foster interdisciplinary connections, and contribute to the evolving discourse on brain health.

Last week I was privileged to attend Neurepiomics 2024 in Santiago, Chile 🌎! A wide range of experts and students came together to advance public brain health featuring research from around the globe with a focus on some amazing work being done in Latin America! The presentations were filled with insights from genomics 🧬 , epidemiology🔍, precision medicine⚕️, neuroscience & neurology🧠, and more! The conversation around low-field MRI was particularly impactful among the many inspiring topics. This innovative approach to MRI technology is broadening the reach of critical diagnostics and prevention techniques by making MRI more accessible worldwide. A great big thank you to this year's hosts at the BrainLat UAI, Hieab Adams, Agustin Ibanez, Claudia Duran-Aniotz, Alejandro Bateman Pérez and to Neurepiomics founders and co-organizers, Sudha Seshadri from UT Health San Antonio, Stéphanie Debette from VBHI. Many thanks to all the speakers and participants, Lucile Rambelon'Andrianisa, and the Institut du Cerveau – Paris Brain Institute for its support!

Grateful to the Canadian Brain Research Strategy and the Canadian Science Policy Centre for publishing our paper today! Hopefully it is useful also in the context of G7 Calgary in 2025. "Profound economic transitions are on the horizon, offering the potential to unlock greater socio-economic sustainability, productivity, and well-being. Yet, history has shown such transitions can be challenging. Brain health and brain skills hold the key to successfully navigating these imminent, skills-based shifts with greater ease. To secure the best possible future for our nations, we must prioritize and invest in brain health and brain skills and the research that supports them. By doing so, we can pave the way for a brain-positive economic transformation — one that fosters a resilient and innovative brain economy."
