In another installment of the ongoing History Series, Dr. Christopher Goetz joins Dr. Sara Schaefer to discuss the legacy of Jean-Martin Charcot within the fields of medicine medicine, neurology, medical education, and movement disorders.
Dr. Sarah Camargos continues her conversation on palliative in movement disorders by interviewing Mr. Victor McConvey. Together they discuss the current state of palliative care in movement disorders including current barriers, challenges, and future goals.
Differentiating a dystonic head tremor from a head tremor in essential tremor can sometimes be diagnostically challenging. In this episode, Dr. Mitra Afshari interviews Dr. Jung Hwan Shin and Prof. Beomseok Jeon on their investigation into the rhythmicity and sinusoidality of head tremors in cervical dystonia versus essential tremor using simple 2D video recordings. We’ll hear about how their findings fit their original hypotheses and potential future work that the group has been brainstorming.

In this episode, Dr. Divyani Garg converses with Prof. Kristina Simonyan on applying the standard alcohol challenge test, in combination with targeted genetic analysis in the GABAergic synapse pathways, in persons with laryngeal dystonia. Together they explore alcohol’s role in laryngeal dystonia, the genetic signatures that may predict responsiveness, and what this could mean for the future of treatment of laryngeal dystonia specifically, but also dystonia in general.
