Dear readers, here are a couple of papers published in the previous months, with a few lines explaining why these papers appear worth signalling over the many others that had not aroused a particular attention.
We are offering an open forum for neurological agenda arising from daily practice of neurology, educating (or receiving education) in neurology, research in neurology, working or clashing with other specialities, confrontations with bureaucracies…
We invite you to either contribute your own observation, commentary or story, or else suggest a particular hot topic, which you think should be elaborated further.
We shall invite members of the EAN Committees, Scientist panels, Sub-committees, particularly chairpersons, but also other leading neurologist across Europe to give their opinion.
Please send your contribution to newsletter@eaneurology.org.
