Our new study on @Brain1878 on atrophy patterns in IgLON5 disease led by the faboulous @SelinaYogeshwar

[Giovanni Di Liberto @DiLibertoMD]

Our new paper is finally out! A terrific joint effort to advance our understanding of T cell mediated neurodegeneration in AE !

Congrats to Thomas on winning best oral presentation at the Danish Neurological Society annual meeting 🧠🧠🧠
Presenting nation-wide data on very long term outcomes in autoimmune encephalitis

[Odense Autoimmune Encephalitis Research Group @OAERG1]

Proud to see PhD student @ThomasGaist presenting our socioeconomic data on autoimmune and infectious encephalitis at the 2024 Encephalitis Conference 🧠🤓🧠

Happy to host @Mayo_AING, @carstenfinke and Frank Leypoldt for the first Danish masterclass in Autoimmune Encephalitis @OUHhospital @SyddanskUni @AfdelingN
Thanks for great talks and discussions

At the University of Southern #Denmark 🇩🇰 in Odense. We have an #autoimmune #encephalitis meeting this morning, with Danish neurologists, immunologists, ICU, psychiatrists and more……thank you to @OAERG1 for organising this. Speaking with @carstenfinke and @LeypoldtF

Happy birthday to renowned neuropsychologist Brenda Milner, who is celebrating her 106th birthday today! 🎈 🎁

While she may not count her age among her many achievements, in this video she did share a few thoughts (and a bit of folklore) about birthdays past and present.

In this study, T2 and/or FLAIR hyperintensities confined to the temporal lobes, without diffusion restriction or contrast enhancement, robustly distinguished LGI1/CASPR2-Ab-E from key differential diagnoses. https://t.co/Qk8d1O7CR9

[MetteScheller @MetteSchellerN]

Great collaboration on this paper confirming the performance of a risk score to differentiate autoimmune from viral encephalitis in the acute setting. Finally all the work on our national database starts to pay off 🧠🧪 🖥️ #encephalitis ⁦@OAERG1⁩ https://t.co/6QOplHkIpL

Congratulations to Matias for a wonderful PhD defence on Autoimmune Encephalitis studied in human neurons. Special thanks to @michael_zandi, Thomas Harbo and Torben Barington for a great work on the examination

[Odense Autoimmune Encephalitis Research Group @OAERG1]

Happy to talk about the wonders of the adolescent brain at #ESPID2024 in Copenhagen

[DrMansillaNeurologo @DrJPMansilla]

Excellent article! @Mayo_AING
#Radiological differences between #autoimmune #encephalitis (#LGI1/#CASPR2), VE (viral) & #CJD
38% EA normal MRI:
Isolated involvement amygdala/hippocampus
Without hemorrhage
Without DWI restriction or Gd enhancement (Is very rare)

Anti-IgLON5 disease is a rare autoimmune encephalitis with late onset. Yogeshwar et al. present data suggesting a stronger association with HLA-DQ over HLA-DR, and showing autoimmune reactivity against IgLON5 in a post-translationally modified form. https://t.co/1VVWDUYg82

[Odense Autoimmune Encephalitis Research Group @OAERG1]

Another wonderful encephalitis conference. Many great presentations, posters and friends. Lot of important work still needs to be done 🧠#Encephalitis2023

[Odense Autoimmune Encephalitis Research Group @OAERG1]

Today the first patients were included in the National Danish Autoimmune Encephalitis Study 👨🏻‍🔬🧑🏼‍🔬🧠🧠🧠 Kindly supported by the @novonordiskfond Thanks to the patients and caregivers🙌🏻
