How do you see the role of the Communication Committee (CC) within the overall work of the EAN? In principle, communication is at the basis of the functioning of a society, both within, and with partners or the various publics. The main communicators of a society are its president, the members of the board and, the executive director. The CC is more a think tank, an initiator, a follow-upper, and a workhorse tackling all the various communication agenda.

How do you see the role of the Education Committee within the overall work of EAN? Prof. Hannah Cock (HC): Education is fundamental to the vision of EAN.

Prof. David B. Vodušek (DBV): Kindly illustrate the history, vision and mission of the EANM – European Association of  Nuclear Medicine to the readers of the EAN Pages. Prof. K. Muylle (KM): The European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) is a professional non-profit medical association, incorporated in Vienna/Austria. The EANM’s vision is to optimise and advance science and education in nuclear medicine for the benefit of public health and humanity within the concept of personalised healthcare. The EANM acts as umbrella organisation for individuals as well as national societies.

Despite its large use, recommendations for the use of brain F-18 FDG-PET in clinical practice were still lacking. The European Academy of Neurology (EAN) and the European Association of Nuclear Medicine (EANM) promoted a concerted action with 7 specialists from the two Societies and a group of facilitators in order to make the point on this issue. Extensive literature review and analysis of available data led, together with expert opinion (Delphi consensus), to deliver these recommendations that cover practically all the main brain neurodegenerative conditions causing cognitive impairment.

The Guideline will address important areas of dementia management where the medical doctor plays a pivotal role, which includes treatment of epilepsy in dementia, pain in dementia, treatment with antipsychotics in dementia, vascular risk factors in dementia and systematic medical follow-up in dementia.

Prof. Elena Moro (EM): Dear Prof. Hallett, it is a great honor for me, as movement disorders specialist, to ask you few questions on behalf of the EAN members and for all EAN pages readers. In light of your Honorary Membership to the EAN, can you tell us what did make you choose “neurology” as the specialty to pursue? Prof. Mark Hallett (MH): I have been interested in the brain since I took a psychology course in high school.  I pursued neuroscience studies in college, but only decided to go into medicine about half way through college.
