Summary
Rapid advances in neuroscience risk unpreparedness in neurological care. A global alliance of neurology organizations is essential for managing crises and ensuring equitable care.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Global Health
Background:
- Rapid advancements in neuroscience increase the risk of unpreparedness.
- Disparities in accessing quality neurological care are widening globally.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify risks to equitable neurological care provision.
- To outline resources for improving preparedness and response to unexpected events.
Main Methods:
- Summarizing potential risks to neurological care.
- Reviewing available resources for planning and response.
- Describing cooperative efforts between neurological organizations.
Main Results:
- Identified significant risks to equitable neurological care.
- Highlighted resources to enhance preparedness.
- Presented three examples of successful inter-organizational cooperation.
Conclusions:
- A global alliance of neurological organizations is crucial.
- Regular communication and rapid, concerted action are vital for managing emergent crises.

Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

The nervous system is one of the most complex systems in our body. It is organized into two main divisions: the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
The CNS, comprising the brain and spinal cord, houses billions of neurons. The brain is housed in the skull, while the spinal cord is linked to the brain through the foramen magnum of the occipital bone and is surrounded by the protective structure of the vertebral column. It is responsible for processing various...
