<description>&lt;p&gt;In this episode of Neuroscience Perspectives, host John Foxe, PhD, sits down with neuroscientist and New York Times bestselling author Dr. Lisa Genova — acclaimed for her groundbreaking novel Still Alice and her powerful storytelling that brings neurological diseases to life. Dr. Genova bridges science and storytelling to deepen public understanding of conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, ALS, autism, and bipolar disorder, inspiring empathy for those affected and reshaping how these diseases are perceived beyond the lab and clinic. Watch to explore how narrative can be a powerful tool for translating neuroscience, fostering compassion, and influencing the dialogue around brain health. #Neuroscience #BrainHealth #LisaGenova &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Stay Connected &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Subscribe: &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.youtube.com/@URNeuroscience"&gt;https://www.youtube.com/@URNeuroscience&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; X: &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/URNeuroscience"&gt;https://x.com/URNeuroscience&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;BlueSky: &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://bsky.app/profile/urneuroscience.bsky.social"&gt;https://bsky.app/profile/urneuroscience.bsky.social&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;LinkedIn: &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/urneuroscience/"&gt;https://www.linkedin.com/company/urneuroscience/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Experts in this Episode: &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lisa Genova, PhD: &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.lisagenova.com/"&gt;https://www.lisagenova.com/&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;John Foxe, PhD: &lt;a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/people/112360965-john-j-foxe"&gt;https://www.urmc.rochester.edu/people/112360965-john-j-foxe&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
