The Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine for 2014 has been awarded to three neuroscientists; John O’Keefe, May-Britt Moser and Edvard I. Moser.  They have received the prize for their discoveries of cells that constitute a positioning system in the brain. May-Britt and Edvard Moser is a young, married couple from Trondheim, Norway, that during the last decade has published a series of Science and Nature papers on the grid cells in the entorhinal cortex of the brain. They show how the brain creates a map of the space surrounding us and how we can navigate through a complex environment by using these cells.

In 2012, 43.919 physicians decided to relocate to another EU member state, ranking physicians in second place of professional groups motivated to migrate. Recently, the European Association of Young Neurologists and Trainees (EAYNT) conducted a survey to assess motivations for cross-border mobility among residents and junior neurologists from member states of the European Union and neighboring countries.

Following last month’s chapter 1 about “founding fathers of the 19th century” we here continue this historical retrospect with a short review of German neurology in the early 20th century.

The first paper that I would like to point out to Neuropenews readers has been published in a very “peripheral” Journal, such as Missouri Medicine, at least in respect to European Neurology. However, the paper “Beta blocker eye drops for treatment of acute migraine”, by Migliazzo CV, and JC Hagan, Missouri Medicine, 111, 2014, 283-288 has been highly “tagged” by neurologists. Seven cases of acute migraine patients, successfully treated with beta blocker eye drops are reported.
