Congrats to Janis Miyasaki, MD, FAAN, recipient of the 2025 AAN President’s Award! She excels in neurology, palliative care, and personal passions like #karate, #kungfu, and #LEGO building. Janis Miyasaki @AANMember #NeuroTwitter hubs.la/Q03hNHbp0

Neurology trainees face challenges in learning lumbar punctures (LP). Residency directors use simulator training, LP clinics, and bedside ultrasound devices to improve success. University Hospitals @AANMember #NeuroTwitter hubs.la/Q03hNF4M0

Neurology trainees are exposed to AI in learning contexts, from legal courses to AI-enabled bedside consults. Educators see benefits but worry about ethical issues and biases. Jeremy Moeller American Academy of Neurology #NeuroTwitter hubs.la/Q03hNZky0

Mouse study shows GLUT4 activity is key in insulin resistance. MCT2 counters GLUT4 by improving energy intake independently of insulin. Slow-aging brain areas have high MCT2 expression. NYU Langone Health American Academy of Neurology #NeuroTwitter hubs.la/Q03hP0hz0

Researchers created a 4D brain map in a marmoset model of MS, revealing changes in immune response, neural function, inflammation, and in areas where lesions appeared. Experts call it a “tour de force” for future clinical trials. NINDS @AANMember hubs.la/Q03hNK_r0

Palliative care is proving effective in reducing emergency visits for neurodegenerative disease patients. Specialists stress the need for tailored approaches for different neurologic disorders and dementias. Lauren Hunt @AANMember #NeuroTwitter hubs.la/Q03hNL2g0

Despite guidelines for diagnosing peripheral neuropathy, physicians and neurologists are ordering excessive and unnecessary tests. University of Michigan Medical School @AANMember #NeuroTwitter hubs.la/Q03hP5CB0

🔍 What Potential NIH Funding Cuts on Direct and Indirect Costs Mean for Research Infrastructure: Neurology chairs and researchers discuss what indirect and direct research costs cover and what proposed cuts could mean. @AANMember Peter Crino hubs.la/Q03jtyj10

The AAN updates its position on seizures, driver licensure, and medical reporting. The new statement emphasizes individualized counseling for patients about driving and details when a longer seizure-free interval might be required. Ben Tolchin, MD, MS, FAAN, FAES @AANMember hubs.la/Q03jtrnj0

📄 ACP Guideline on Prevention of Migraine Draws Mixed Response from Migraine Experts: Migraine experts welcomed the new guideline from the American College of Physicians but expressed concerns about some recommendations. American Academy of Neurology #NeuroTwitter hubs.la/Q03jtLKf0

Big strides in Alzheimer's diagnosis! 🧠 Blood-based biomarkers are reshaping early detection, crucial for new FDA-approved therapies. Early diagnosis leads to better outcomes! @AANMember #NeuroTwitter hubs.la/Q03jtK6c0

💊 Does the Newly Approved Non-Opioid Pain Drug Have Potential for Managing Neuropathic Pain? Neurologists specializing in pain management believe it may have potential, but they await phase 3 trial results to confirm effectiveness. Shamik Bhattacharyya @AANMember hubs.la/Q03jtSQR0

Missed the 2025 AAN Annual Meeting in San Diego? 🧠 Neurology Today has top abstracts, expert reviews, and commentary from independent neurologists. @AANMember #AANAM #NeuroTwitter hubs.la/Q03jvZYG0

Missed the 2025 AAN Annual Meeting in San Diego? 🧠 Neurology Today features top abstracts on Parkinson’s disease, rated in the top 2% by the AAN Science Committee. @AANMember #AANAM #NeuroTwitter hubs.la/Q03jwbQH0

If you missed our April 17th issue, Dr. Joseph E. Safdieh has you covered with this recap from Neurology Today in 5! He covers Vitamin D reducing MRI evidence in early MS, brain changes before MS lesions, and AI in neurology education. 🌟 @AANMember hubs.la/Q03ktlB-0

Researchers found high concentrations of microplastics in the brain—small enough to cross the blood-brain barrier—using transmission electron microscopy. This discovery raises important questions about neurological health. UNM College of Pharmacy @AANMember hubs.ly/Q03kCwb_0

Low-dose valacyclovir alleviated pain from post-herpetic neuralgia associated with zoster eye disease, enabling patients to lower dosages of other more toxic pain meds. The study supports valacyclovir as a safe alternative. 💊 NYU Grossman School of Medicine @AANMember hubs.ly/Q03kCyBC0

🧠 Experts developed a consensus document on managing glucocorticoid complications for neuromuscular disease. This guidance is vital due to frequent corticosteroid use and limited literature. 💊 University of Toronto @AANMember #NeuroTwitter hubs.la/Q03kCwc30

🧠 German investigators found biomarkers and brain imaging data from 179 women suggest early-life adversity is linked to accelerated brain aging. Experts recommend screening for childhood trauma to identify those at risk. 🌟Christine Heim @AANMember hubs.la/Q03kCshX0
