How do signals generated in the cortex appear on the scalp #EEG, and what can they tell us about where activity originates in the brain? This review paper explains the biophysical principles.

🧠Read the updated ABN guidelines for autoimmune myasthenia gravis - summarised in the infographic below.
Highlights include👇
• Daily (not alternate-day) steroids
• Early thymectomy for AChR+ MG (<50 yrs; consider ≤65 yrs)
• Evidence for early rituximab
• New targeted options — complement & FcRn inhibitors

🚨 New Research Alert: Dravet Syndrome & Neurodegeneration 🚨

A groundbreaking study suggests that Dravet syndrome (DS) in adults may have neurodegenerative features, with declining adaptive skills, gait issues, and parkinsonian symptoms linked to age and long-term sodium channel blocker (SCB) use—especially phenytoin.

💡 Why it matters:
This is the largest systematic study of adults with DS, raising urgent questions about long-term treatment strategies and potential neurodegeneration.

🔹 Are we addressing the full scope of DS progression?
🔹 Do we need alternative treatment strategies?

Clinical research in the UK is under threat, partly because it takes so long to get a study or trial approved. Here are some of my suggested solutions in this BMJ Opinion piece @NIHR @wellcometrust @UKRI_News

@caseyalbin @LyellJ @ContinuumAAN Tricky cases for a neurologist seeing the sedated patient in icu, until we can capture/characterise on eeg and provide reassurance. Good argument for cEEG to allow rapid deescalation in these scenarios.

@sciqst Currently, there are no studies directly comparing EEG and MRI with ALS sequence. However, one study conducted a comparison between CT scan perfusion and the Salzburg criteria. https://t.co/8ox0WtOXJ8
