eanCast: Weekly Neurology

Moderator: Valentina Iuzzolino (Naples, Italy)

Guest: Elka Stefanova (Belgrade, Serbia) and Mamede de Carvalho (Lisbon, Porugal)

In this episode, Valentina Iuzzolino speaks with Elka Stefanova and Mamede de Carvalho about diagnostic challenges in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and frontotemporal dementia. They discuss clinical heterogeneity, key differential diagnoses and red flags, the role of Gold Coast criteria and neurophysiology in ALS, and the importance of longitudinal clinical assessment and neuroimaging in distinguishing frontotemporal dementia from primary psychiatric disorders.

Moderator: Raphael Wurm (Vienna, Austria)

Guest: Roland Wiest (Bern, Switzerland)

In this episode, Raphael Wurm speaks with Roland Wiest about how the AI revolution is set to reshape the clinical environment in neurology. They discuss the areas where augmentation and automation are likely to have the greatest impact, including neuroimaging, clinical workflows, and decision support, while exploring how neurologists can prepare themselves and their institutions to translate emerging AI technologies into meaningful improvements for both clinicians and patients.

Moderator: Georg Starke (Munich, Germany)

Guest: Giulia Di Rauso (New York, USA)

In this episode, Georg Starke speaks with Giulia Di Rauso about trustworthiness and the use of artificial intelligence in neurological research and clinical practice. They discuss explainability, data quality, interpretability, and human oversight in AI systems, highlighting key considerations for responsible integration of AI tools into neurology and the importance of maintaining clinical judgement.

Moderator: Maria Chiara Malaguti (Rovereto, Italy)

Guest: Gary Leeming (Liverpool, UK)

In this episode, Maria Chiara Malaguti and Gary Leeming discuss the evolving role of artificial intelligence in neurology. Aimed at clinical neurologists, the conversation explores how AI may support clinical practice, while also addressing its limitations, ethical implications, and the need for human oversight. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in healthcare, neurologists will need to develop a solid understanding of these tools in order to use them critically, guide their implementation, and remain in control of clinical decision-making.

Moderator: Raphael Bernard-Valnet (Lausanne, Switzerland)

Guest: Roland Wiest (Bern, Switzerland) and Monica Moroni (Trento, Italy)

In this episode, Raphael Bernard-Valnet speaks with Roland Wiest and Monica Moroni about the fundamentals of artificial intelligence in clinical neurology and its practical implications for neurologists. They discuss key applications such as imaging analysis, diagnostic and decision-support tools, and emerging use in wearables, while addressing interpretability, standardisation, and current barriers to routine clinical implementation.
