• Ep. 145: Why Should Neurologists Care About the World Dance Day?

  Moderator: Alicia Gonzalez Martinez (Madrid, Spain)Guests: Thomas Berger (Vienna, Austria), Julia Polai (Innsbruck, Austria)In this episode for World Dance Day, Gonzales Martinez discusses the physical, emotional, and neurological benefits of dancing with neurologist Berger, and dancer and patient Polai. They emphasize its therapeutic potential for people with neurological conditions and highlight how dance engages multiple brain functions and fosters social connection, making it a valuable tool for both patients and healthcare professionals.eanCampus access for Associate Members: If you are a member of a National Neurological Society in Europe, you are most likely already an Associate Member of the EAN and have an account for the eanCampus.

• Ep. 142: Papers of the Month: Mismatch Repair & DNA Expansion in Huntington’s Disease

  Moderator: Jean-Marc Burgunder (Guemligen, Switzerland)Guest: Sandrine Humbert (Paris, France)In this week's episode, Burgunder and Humbert discuss the intriguing phenomenon of somatic expansion—the further increase of CAG repeat numbers in the gene involved in Huntington’s disease, particularly in the striatum. They explore the molecular mechanisms behind this process, as addressed in two recent research papers.Please find here the papers discussed in this episode: Long somatic DNA-repeat expansion drives neurodegeneration in Huntington’s diseaseand Distinct mismatch-repair complex genes set neuronal CAG-repeat expansion rate to drive selective pathogenesis in HD mice.eanCampus access for Associate Members: If you are a member of a National Neurological Society in Europe, you are most likely aleady an Associate Member of the EAN and have an account for the eanCampus.
