Tales From The Cortex – Details, episodes & analysis

Tales From the Cortex is a story-driven neurology podcast that takes you inside the mysteries of the human brain.

Hosted by Canadian neurologists Dr. Andrew Micieli and Dr. Michelle Jaeggi, Tales From the Cortex explores how neurologists think, make decisions, and navigate uncertainty—one case at a time. It also focuses on what it feels like to be the patient waiting for answers, an often-overlooked part of medicine.

Each episode begins with a patient, a symptom, and a clinical mystery. Follow the story as it unfolds and become the patient's neurologist: What questions would you ask? Where would you localize the problem? Which tests would you order? And what would you do next?

This is a different kind of medical podcast, one that makes neurological disease understandable to everyone, with educational content for the practicing clinician or clinician in-training. 

No medical degree required. Just curiosity.

Every symptom is a clue. Every brain has a story.
