Guests: Sanja Gluscevic (Podgorica, Montenegro), Simone Salemme (Modena, Italy)

This episode explores how early-career neurologists can bridge science, policy, and society through advocacy—highlighting real examples of how EAN Brain Health Ambassadors are translating brain health into action both within and beyond clinical practice.

Becoming a certified Brain Health Ambassador through the EAN's Advocacy Training programme offers neurologists the chance to advance brain health by gaining the knowledge and practical skills needed to advocate effectively at local, national, and European levels. As part of the training, participants will explore the principles of effective advocacy, develop communication...

Moderator: Alice Accorroni (Geneva, Switzerland)

Guests: James Teo (London, UK), Giuseppe Jurman (Trento, Italy)

In this special episode, Dr Alice Accorroni is joined by Professor James Teo and Professor Giuseppe Jurman to discuss the impact of artificial intelligence in neurology: They analyse the actual improvements provided by its adoption, the factors that are hindering this same adoption, especially in a clinical setting, the potential future landscape clinicians and data scientists will be facing and how neurologists' attitude can be oriented more favourably towards new AI solutions.

Moderator: Raphael Wurm (Vienna, Austria)
Guest: Francisco Cardoso (Belo Horizonte, Brasil)

Artificial intelligence - hype or revolution? For this week’s special episode, Dr Raphael Wurm welcomes Prof. Cardoso, a movement disorder expert and busy clinician, to explain why he believes that human interaction and connection will remain the most important part of our profession.

Moderator: Roberta Balestrino (Milan, Italy)
Guest: Nathalie Nasr (Poitiers, France)

Join us as Dr Roberta Balestrino and Professor Nathalie Nasr takes us on a journey into the brain in space—uncovering the vascular challenges of microgravity, their impact on astronauts, and surprising lessons for our health here on Earth.

Moderator: Oxana Grosu (Chisinau, Moldova)
Guest: Rolf-Detlef Treede (Mannheim, Germany)

Prof. Treede and Dr. Grosu discuss the new ICD-11 classification of chronic pain, highlighting its significance in recognizing chronic pain as a disease in its own right. The need for this classification, its impact on clinical practice, health policy, and research, as well as the complexities surrounding nociplastic pain are highlighted. The dialogue emphasises the importance of precise coding and documentation in improving patient care and treatment outcomes.

Moderator: Simone Vigneri (Bologna, Italy)
Guest: Marshall Devor (Jerusalem, Israel)

This episode explores the complex clinical features and neurobiology of phantom limb pain, highlighting key mechanisms such as maladaptive plasticity, ectopic discharges, and cortical reorganization. Prof. Marshall Devor shares expert insights into current challenges and future directions in the management of this uniquely human neuropathic pain condition.

Moderator: Katarina Rukavina (Berlin, Germany)
Guest: Keela Herr (Iowa City, USA)

How do we recognize and manage pain in people with dementia? In this episode of EAN Cast: Weekly Neurology, Katarina Rukavina hosts Keela Herr and they talk about the impact of pain on people living with dementia, strategies for its assessment and management, and how healthcare professionals can work together with family members and carers to ensure holistic care.

EAN moderator: Anna K. Szewczyk (Lublin, Poland)
Guest:Grazia Devigili (Milan, Italy)

Anna K. Szewczyk and Grazia Devigili discuss Small fiber neuropathy (SFN), a broad group of conditions affecting small nerve fibers (Aδ or C). SFN is characterized by impaired pain and temperature sensation, as well as autonomic dysfunction. Its diagnosis and treatment are challenging, though recent findings on specific autoantibodies and ion channel polymorphisms offer new perspectives for understanding these forms and developing more targeted therapies.

Moderators and guests: Barbara Tettenborn (Bern, Switzerland) and Roberta Balestrino (Milan, Italy)

Barbara Tettenborn and Roberta Balestrino discuss the journey of the EAN e-learning platform, eanCampus. Launched in 2022, the platform has transformed neurology education by aligning with European Training Requirements for Neurology and offering comprehensive content for all levels of experience. Discover how interactive modules, gamification, and a commitment to high-quality, peer-reviewed material have made the eanCampus a vital resource for neurologists worldwide.

Moderator: Tobias Cronberg (Lund, Sweden)
Guest: Andrea Rossetti (Lausanne, Switzerland)

In this episode, Cronberg speaks with Rossetti about the role of EEG in the neuro ICU, with a focus on prognostication and monitoring in critically ill patients. They explore clinical applications, organizational differences across countries, and the value—and limitations—of continuous EEG, spot EEG, and emerging AI tools.
