Research Highlights

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).

An integrated approach, merging accurate genetic and clinical data, is critical to properly study the effect of new treatments in FSHD.

Awareness of atypical features in optic neuritis is crucial to initiate appropriate treatment and prevent permanent visual loss.

Whether small fiber pathology accounts for pain in fibromyalgia, and whether brain imaging can be used as an objective marker of pain remain controversial and will be discussed during the next EAN congress in Oslo.

Progress in understanding the genetics of epilepsies Epilepsies affect around 65 million people worldwide and are clinically a heterogeneous group of neurological disorders. Despite strong evidence for heritability, genome-wide association studies have had little success in identification of risk loci… Continue Reading
