Tales From the Cortex is a story-driven medical 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 neurological diseases through first-person clinical stories. Behind every case is a unique patient trying to understand what is happening to them while navigating the healthcare system. 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? Understand how neurologists think, make decisions, and navigate uncertainty—one case at a time.
This is a different kind of medical podcast, one that makes neurological disease understandable to everyone, with bonus educational content for clinician listeners.
No medical degree required. Just curiosity.
Every symptom is a clue. Every brain has a story.
