Brain health is rising on the European policy agenda—but what does that mean in practice?

In this episode of the Brain Health Mission Podcast, our host Jana Midelfart-Hoff speaks with Fred Destrebecq from the European Brain Council about the growing importance of brain health policy in Europe. They reflect on key takeaways from Brain Awareness Week in Brussels, explore the scale and economic impact of neurological disorders, and assess current progress across the EU.
