The Department of Neurology at the University Hospital of Northern Norway (UNN) is the only neurological department in the two northernmost counties in Norway and serves as secondary and tertiary referral hospital for the Northern Norway region. With its 112 975 km2, the Northern Norway region is approximately the size of a medium-sized European country and larger than the combined areas of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg. The hospital is located in the city of Tromsø, situated 375 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle. Tromsø is the largest urbane municipality in Northern Norway and the third largest north of the Arctic Circle anywhere in the world.
In this month’s EAN Pages, we have the top 10 European Journal of Neurology (EJoN) articles from 2018, selected by EJoN editor-in-chief, Professor Tony Schapira. His choices reflect the full spectrum of neurological disorders, from evidence-based practice guidelines in MS, stroke and applications of PET, to original studies in Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, MS, and subarachnoid haemorrhage
As in the previous years, EANpages asked EAN committee members, panel chairs, and invited speakers which session one should not miss at the upcoming congress in Oslo 2019. Please find their answers below!
Dear colleagues and friends,

The past 12 months have been marked by noteworthy achievement and change. As we all reflect on the past year, I think that we have many reasons to look forward with enthusiasm toward what has yet to come.
For February 2019, we have selected: Cooper DJ, Nichol AD, Balley M, et al. for the POLAR Trial Investigators and the ANZICS Clinical Trial Group. Effect of early sustained prophylactic hypothermia on neurologic outcomes among patients with severe traumatic brain injury. JAMA 2018;320:2211-2220.
