      Executive Page Dear EAN members, dear friends, It is my pleasure to give you an update on behalf of the EAN Scientific Committee following a busy year since my appointment as chair. It has been a privilege to be so deeply involved in the scientific activities of the EAN and to work closely with an amazing community of people who are so dedicated to the advancement of neurology. One of the strongest threads within that community is the EAN’s group of Scientific Panels, which are often referred to as the organisation’s ‘scientific backbone’. The panels have a hand in everything the EAN does from a scientific point of view, including coordinating clinical research, disseminating good practice, assisting in planning the EAN annual congress, supporting the EAN’s educational efforts, and producing guidelines that assist neurologists in daily practice. All of this work requires a considerable amount of oversight, and this is why each panel is run by its own Management Group, elected by the panel members. Being a part of one of these Management Groups (PDF) is an opportunity to play a direct part in determining the direction of scientific progress within Europe, and I am excited to say that the call for applications to stand for election will be announced in September. All panel members and EAN individual members are eligible to apply to be candidates, with the vote being held among the existing panel members in autumn. I would like to urge every neurologist with a passion for the scientific future of their special area of interest to consider standing for election to the relevant Management Group and to look out for the call for applications later this month. I can tell you from personal experience that fulfilling a role such as this within the structure of the EAN is a fascinating and extremely rewarding experience. The chance to take on such a unique leadership position should not be missed! The most satisfying aspect of being involved in the EAN’s organisational structure is surely seeing all the hard work and planning come to fruition when a small idea evolves into a newly launched project. One such example is the 1st EAN Science School, taking place in Salzburg next March. The idea of the Science School is to offer early career neurologists with an interest in translational research a new avenue for learning about basic pathomechanisms of neurological disorders. Application for this very first edition, on ‘Pathophysiology of disorders of the nervous system’, closed last week and we have been delighted with the level of interest. It was a pleasure to be part of the task force in charge of planning this new project and I look forward to seeing it officially transferred to the hands of the Scientific Committee after a successful event and evaluation in spring. Of our ongoing activities, one of the most significant is the EAN Neuro-covid Registry, which aims to collate epidemiological data on neurological manifestations in patients with COVID-19 infection reported by neurologists in outpatient services, emergency rooms, and hospital departments. We currently have 1,542 patients entered in the database, from 35 centres across 23 countries. So far, 29 patients have been followed for 12 months and 387 have completed the 6-months follow up. This is a decent start, but I would like to strongly encourage EAN members and their institutions to get involved and contribute cases to what will become an invaluable resource for neurologists and clinicians to improve care for Covid-19 patients. Finally, I would like share a word on a forthcoming collaboration between EAN and the Human Brain Project in December, that I think will interest a lot of EAN members. The EAN-EBRAINS joint workshop on ‘The future of medical data sharing in clinical neurosciences’ will be a three-day virtual event that aims to discuss issues and challenges associated with data sharing in Europe, from ethics to data safety and privacy, including those specific to data federation, such as the development and validation of federated algorithms. The whole workshop is completely free of charge and registration is open until 25 November, so please check out the details and sign up! I wish you all a healthy and pleasant autumn and I look forward to updating you again. Best wishes Thomas Berger Chair of the EAN Scientific Committee

      June 3, 2022

      Executive Page Dear EAN members, dear friends, It is my pleasure to give you an update on behalf of the EAN Scientific Committee following a busy year since my appointment as chair. It has been a privilege to be so deeply involved in the scientific activities of the EAN and to work closely with an amazing community of people who are so dedicated to the advancement of neurology. One of the strongest threads within that community is the EAN’s group of Scientific Panels, which are often referred to as the organisation’s ‘scientific backbone’. The panels have a hand in everything the EAN does from a scientific point of view, including coordinating clinical research, disseminating good practice, assisting in planning the EAN annual congress, supporting the EAN’s educational efforts, and producing guidelines that assist neurologists in daily practice. All of this work requires a considerable amount of oversight, and this is why each panel is run by its own Management Group, elected by the panel members. Being a part of one of these Management Groups (PDF) is an opportunity to play a direct part in determining the direction of scientific progress within Europe, and I am excited to say that the call for applications to stand for election will be announced in September. All panel members and EAN individual members are eligible to apply to be candidates, with the vote being held among the existing panel members in autumn. I would like to urge every neurologist with a passion for the scientific future of their special area of interest to consider standing for election to the relevant Management Group and to look out for the call for applications later this month. I can tell you from personal experience that fulfilling a role such as this within the structure of the EAN is a fascinating and extremely rewarding experience. The chance to take on such a unique leadership position should not be missed! The most satisfying aspect of being involved in the EAN’s organisational structure is surely seeing all the hard work and planning come to fruition when a small idea evolves into a newly launched project. One such example is the 1st EAN Science School, taking place in Salzburg next March. The idea of the Science School is to offer early career neurologists with an interest in translational research a new avenue for learning about basic pathomechanisms of neurological disorders. Application for this very first edition, on ‘Pathophysiology of disorders of the nervous system’, closed last week and we have been delighted with the level of interest. It was a pleasure to be part of the task force in charge of planning this new project and I look forward to seeing it officially transferred to the hands of the Scientific Committee after a successful event and evaluation in spring. Of our ongoing activities, one of the most significant is the EAN Neuro-covid Registry, which aims to collate epidemiological data on neurological manifestations in patients with COVID-19 infection reported by neurologists in outpatient services, emergency rooms, and hospital departments. We currently have 1,542 patients entered in the database, from 35 centres across 23 countries. So far, 29 patients have been followed for 12 months and 387 have completed the 6-months follow up. This is a decent start, but I would like to strongly encourage EAN members and their institutions to get involved and contribute cases to what will become an invaluable resource for neurologists and clinicians to improve care for Covid-19 patients. Finally, I would like share a word on a forthcoming collaboration between EAN and the Human Brain Project in December, that I think will interest a lot of EAN members. The EAN-EBRAINS joint workshop on ‘The future of medical data sharing in clinical neurosciences’ will be a three-day virtual event that aims to discuss issues and challenges associated with data sharing in Europe, from ethics to data safety and privacy, including those specific to data federation, such as the development and validation of federated algorithms. The whole workshop is completely free of charge and registration is open until 25 November, so please check out the details and sign up! I wish you all a healthy and pleasant autumn and I look forward to updating you again. Best wishes Thomas Berger Chair of the EAN Scientific Committee

External Interview: with Dr. Benedetta Bodini

June 5, 2020



Dr. Thomas Jenkins, Editor of the EAN Pages website interviews

Dr. Benedetta Bodini, Associate Professor in Neurology in Paris, and new Associate Editor of the E-communication Committee



Dear Dr Bodini,

It is my pleasure welcoming you to the EAN e-Communication Committee! In order to introduce you to the EAN membership, I hope you can accept the below interview to be published in the EAN Pages.

  • Can you please introduce yourself to the EAN Pages readers illustrating why you chose to join this committee and how you view your contribution to its work?

It is a great honour for me that my application to join the EAN e-Communication Committee has been accepted, and I feel this the start of a very exciting journey!  I am an Italian neurologist, and I am currently living in Paris, after having spent six years in London, where I completed my PhD at UCL. When I was contacted to join the EAN e-Communication Committee I felt this could be a great opportunity for me to contribute to spreading knowledge as much as possible, through the EAN website and EAN Pages, the best neurology updates, the latest guidelines and clinical recommendations, and the most cutting-edge research on neurological diseases. I have always read the EAN website thinking it was a great source of knowledge for neurologists, and now I have the possibility to be part of it! I hope I will be able to help develop new and exciting content for the website, especially to the sections dedicated to young neurologists. For example, I think a whole section where young clinicians will be able to find all the information about available funding opportunities to spend a clinical or a research period abroad in one of the European neurology centres would be of added value for our readers.

  • As a neurologist, what do you think is the most important task for the EAN?

I think EAN has a crucial role in bringing together in a single organisation all the best clinicians and researchers in neurological diseases from across Europe. Therefore, I think the most important task for EAN is to enhance the exchange of ideas among clinicians and scientists in the field of neurological diseases, which is an effective way to collect and spread the best clinical practices in neurology and the highest quality research in the field. Ultimately, I think it is this exchange of ideas and practices that leads to better care for our patients, and this is why EAN plays such a key role towards this objective.

  • Can you share with us some of the highlights and challenges of your career in which you have worked in several leading European neurology departments and centres of excellence? What would be your message to residents at the start of their careers?

As you say, during my career I have had great opportunities to work in neurology departments of excellence, in particular at the UCL Institute of Neurology, where I studied towards my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Olga Ciccarelli and Prof. Alan Thompson, and at the Paris Brain Institute, where I have been working since 2012 with Prof. Stankoff and Prof. Lubetzki. When I first moved from Italy to London at the end of 2006, I found it quite challenging to leave friends and family to find out what research in advanced neuroimaging applied to MS was all about, but I met straight away such fantastic people (including you Tom!), that I immediately realised I had made the right choice! In London first, and then in Paris, I found inspiring mentors and great friends, and I had the opportunity to find out that research applied to neurological diseases is truly exciting and can be game-changing for our patients. Of course, as a neurologist and researcher with three children, I can say that reconciliation between academic and family life can be challenging at times but it definitely very rewarding! So this is the message for my young colleagues at the start of their career, in particular for women residents: never stop being curious, choose to do research together with your clinical job, you won’t regret it!

  • As an MS specialist with expertise in neuroimaging, what do you think are the most important breakthroughs in this field over the last 10 years?

I think the contribution of neuroimaging to research in multiple sclerosis has been truly transformative over the last decade, both from the point of view of improvements in patient care and of advances in the understanding of disease pathophysiology. For example, following the 2017 revisions of the McDonald criteria, conventional MRI sequences allowed us to diagnose MS earlier than before, after a first clinical event, and patients may therefore start disease-modifying treatments earlier in the course of their disease. Moreover, over the last decade, metrics derived from conventional MRI have been shown to effectively predict clinical outcome in phase II clinical trials. Neuroimaging has also provided key contributions in understanding MS pathophysiology in the last decade: for example, the use of ultra-high-field MRI and the application of advanced MRI techniques have allowed us to gain unprecedented insights into microstructural damage occurring both inside and outside visible lesions, and in cortical pathology in MS. Recent years have also seen an increasing interest in the applications of positron emission tomography to MS research, which, through the use of radiolabeled compounds directed against specific targets, has allowed us to obtain the highest possible specificity in measuring in vivo key elements of disease pathogenesis, such as myelin loss and repair, innate immune cell involvement, and early neuronal damage.

  • Based on the available data on the current COVID-19 pandemic, do you think that patients with MS are exposed to more severe forms of infection than the general population?

I have to say that, although available data are still limited, the first results of the Italian study group on COVID-19 infection in patients with multiple sclerosis, published three weeks ago on The Lancet, are rather reassuring: 95% of the studied group of patients with MS were classified as having a mild form of COVID-19 infection (with either no or mild pneumonia), while only 5% of patients experienced severe or critical symptoms following the infection. However, we have to keep in mind that these data are only preliminary, and further evidence is needed to conclusively establish the relationship between MS and COVID-19 infection severity. In particular, we need to understand whether specific disease-modifying treatments are significantly correlated with particularly severe forms of the infection. Data similar to the Italian study group have been collected in several European countries, and hopefully novel results will be available soon to provide conclusive answers to these open questions.
