Cognitive functioning and multimodal neuroimaging in narcolepsy type 1

The Scientific Committee is fully committed to a great mission: To increase and share the best clinical knowledge and the cutting-edge information from translational research in all neurological fields. Main actions are i) to facilitate exchanges and synergies with the Scientific Panels ii) to support the Guideline Production Group (update and diffusion of expertise and best clinical practice), iii) to interact positively with other scientific societies with reciprocal exchanges and liaise with the European Affairs sub-Committee to increase the awareness of Neurology in Europe.

For August 2019, we have selected Wilson, Sample et al. Clinical metagenomic sequencing for diagnosis of meningitis and encephalitis. N Eng J Med 2019; 380:24;2327-2340

There is need for automated seizure detection using wearable devices, to decrease the morbidity and mortality associated with seizures, especially with generalized tonic-clonic seizures (GTCS) and to provide objective data on seizure-occurrence...

Transcranial B-mode sonography (TCS) is a non-invasive neuroimaging  method that allows high resolution imaging of deep brain structures.  The classical TCS finding of substantia nigra hyperechogenicity (SN) is widely acknowledged as a diagnostic tool for the  idiopatic Parkinson disease (PD)  in the guidlines of the European neurological societies (EAN, MDS-ES).
