Over the past two decades, the understanding and management of multiple sclerosis (MS) have advanced dramatically, reshaping long-held views of the disease. MS is now increasingly seen as a continuous spectrum rather than a condition with distinct phases, with evidence showing it can begin silently, even before clinical symptoms emerge. Technological and diagnostic innovations have enabled the detection of early brain changes and biomarkers, opening doors to earlier diagnosis and intervention. New diagnostic criteria allow MS to be identified without a clinical event, and studies on disease-modifying therapies (DMTs) support the benefits of early treatment. A major shift in treatment strategy is also underway, emphasizing early, aggressive approaches and therapies that target progression rather than just relapses, which are no longer seen as the main driver of long-term disability. A pivotal development in MS research is the confirmation of Epstein–Barr virus (EBV) as a fundamental trigger of the disease, with new evidence pointing to specific viral protein regions as higher-risk factors. Despite these strides, MS research remains a dynamic and evolving field, with much still to be uncovered beneath the surface.
The FDA has approved tenecteplase (TNKase) for the treatment of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in adults, marking the first new stroke-specific thrombolytic approval in nearly three decades. Administered as a single five-second intravenous bolus, tenecteplase allows for faster administration compared to the current standard of care alteplase, which is administered as a bolus-plus-infusion regimen.
Brain Awareness Week, taking place from March 10-16, 2025, is a global campaign dedicated to fostering public enthusiasm and support for brain science, organised by the Dana Foundation. Each March, participants worldwide organize imaginative activities that highlight the wonders of the brain and the profound impact of neuroscience on our daily lives.
The prevalence of unruptured intracranial aneurysms (IAs) is approximately 3% of the population, with incidence on the rise due to the increased utilization of neuro-imaging for diverse objectives.1,2 The average risk of rupture for unruptured IA is estimated to vary from 0.3% ...
Seizures are one of the most frequent neurological disorders in neonates − the incidence of seizures in infants born at term is 1–3 per 1,000 live births, and is even higher in both preterm and very-low-birth-weight infants at 1–13 per 1,000 live births.1 Seizures may ...

Living with multiple sclerosis (MS) can present numerous challenges, and for individuals in rural communities, those challenges can be even more pronounced. In rural areas, access to MS specialists can be limited, and often rural hospitals and clinics are the primary locations where residents seek diagnosis and care for MS.
The phase 3b SMART study has shown that 83% of paediatric patients with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) weighing between 8.5 and 21 kg achieved significant motor improvements following treatment with intravenous onasemnogene abeparvovec in a recent article published in Neurology.
Huntington’s disease (HD) is a neurodegenerative disease inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. It is caused by an expansion of cytosine, adenine, guanine (CAG) repeats within the huntingtin (HTT) gene, which is located on chromosome 4. This pathological expansion of ...
