Despite some efforts to advance in inclusivity in neuroscience, there remains ongoing challenges to meaningfully engage scientists from diverse backgrounds, particularly indigenous researchers. The absence of formal indigenous representation in neuroscience exacerbates marginalisation and perpetuates problematic research practices that fail to embed culturally safe standards. A key step toward inclusivity is to embrace Aboriginal perspectives in both pedagogy and research, thereby enriching neuroscience through the multidisciplinary integration of holistic knowledge and approaches. Ancient Aboriginal practices such as Songlines exhibit distinctive and complex mnemonic sequences to effectively transmit transgenerational knowledges, and these techniques can be readily taught and learned. Significant barriers to implementing indigenous epistemologies, such as systemic racism, entrenched habitual industrial elitism, cultural biases and social inequity continue to hinder access and participation for indigenous peoples. Addressing these issues through decolonial approaches would help foster inclusivity by shifting neuroscience from a reliance on reductionist methodology and encouraging genuine collaboration. Such efforts are not only beneficial, but arguably an ethical imperative for the advancement of neuroscience
