The Covid-19 pandemic shed a crude light on how instrumental research and innovation are in the European Union. This crisis revealed significant disparities and fractures between Member States. More importantly, patients living with neurological or mental disorders were heavily impacted by the pandemic, and faced tremendous challenges to maintain their access to care and to meet their medical needs.In this episode, Frederic Destrebecq, Executive Director of the European Brain Council, Christian Suojanen, Founder & CEO of Broadreach Global, and Professor Michel Goldman, renowned medical doctor and researcher, discuss the post-pandemic European landscape, and address the major challenges and opportunities for brain research and innovation in the EU.From fostering a collaborative climate within the wider brain community to an ambitious European Brain Research and Innovation Plan, join our journey on what it takes to make brain research and innovation a European priority for the 21st century.
This Brain Talks episode on Urban Environment and Brain Health features two projects on brain health, funded by the European Union under the same main programme (H2020-EU.3.1. - SOCIETAL CHALLENGES - Health, demographic change and well-being): BRAINTEASER and eMOTIONAL Cities.Evidence shows that environmental factors may influence both the aetiology and the progression of a number of brain conditions. Through cost-effective sensors and apps, a comprehensive analysis of clinical, lifestyle and environmental data and predictive/preventive AI models for patient stratification and disease progression, BRAINTEASER aims to better inform people living with MS and ALS and support clinical decision making in 4 urban areas: Madrid, Turin, Lisbon and Pavia.Urban living is associated to an increase in mood and anxiety disorders, drugs addiction and risk of schizophrenia and psychosis. Through urban stress research, emotional mapping, urban prevention and therapy research, eMOTIONAL Cities aims to explore how urban planning and design could positively impact brain health in 4 cities: Lisbon, Copenhagen, London and Lansing.
Despite the burden, migraine is not consistently recognized in health policy. However, countries are making progress and establishing a way forward for patients.In the latest Brain Talks episode, Sam Pauly sat down with Dawn Carlson, AbbVie's Vice-President of Neuroscience Clinical Development, and Alessandra Sorrentino, migraine patient and representative of Alleanza Cefalalgici, to discuss promising developments in migraine care, management, and policy prioritization.This episode was recorded in partnership with AbbVie.
In this third episode of Brain Talks | Season 3, Alice Medialia (Columbia University), Péter Kéri (GAMIAN-Europe), and John Saunders (EUFAMI) sat down with Sam Pauly to share some thoughts and advices on how to ensure the meaningful engagement of patients with lived experiences of mental health conditions.In partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim, this episode was recorded live from the third edition of the Brain Innovation Days

In today's Brain Talk, we’ll be looking at the role technology currently plays in neurosurgery. We are joined by Dr Pieter Kubben, a neurosurgeon at Maastricht University Medical Center and the founder of the Neuromind App and Dr. Marike Broekman, a neurosurgeon in the Department of Neurosurgery at Leiden University Medical Center. She is the first female board member of the European Association of Neurosurgical Associations or EANS, and her main clinical and research interests focus on Neuro-Oncology and Ethics.
We're back from our summer break and our host, Sam Pauly, is delighted to be joined today by Dr Orla Galvin, Executive Director of the European Federation of Neurological Associations (EFNA) to discuss the important role patients play in guiding policy and leading advocacy in the brain space, particularly as the "experts" in their own brain conditions. A common phrase in the community always is, "nothing about us without us", a strong call to decision-makers to ensure that the people most affected by their decisions are involved from the beginning.Accompanied by Dr Elke De Witte, Head of Project Development at the European Brain Council, Sam explores the importance of patient involvement in policy and advocacy, the challenges and roadblocks faced to do so (and how to overcome them) and innovative approaches for improvement at present and in the future.For more information, visit http://efna.net/ and braininnovationdays.eu

Today we turn the spotlight to neuroscience in Africa and discuss with leading researchers from the region how the African neuroscience community has come together to identify challenges and opportunities in the region, explore possible solutions, and discover unique and important avenues for research.We are delighted to welcome Dr Mahmoud Bukar Maina, Research Fellow in Neuroscience at the University of Sussex and Professor Sadiq Yusaf, Board Member of the International Brain Research Organisation (IBRO) Africa Regional Committee and President of the Society of Neuroscientists of Africa (SONA).Discover more on:ibro.org/regions/africa-committeesonafrica.orgbraininnovationdays.eu
Today our host Sam Pauly speaks with a recent recipient of the Federation of European Neuroscience Societies (FENS) European Journal of Neuroscience (EJN) Young Investigator Prize, awarded to early-career researchers in recognition of their outstanding scientific contributions to any area of neuroscience.We are delighted to welcome Dr Nicolas Renier — who received the prize for his work in mapping neuronal and vascular networks in transparent brains — group leader at the Paris Brain Institute, studying the development of the brain throughout life using cutting-edge imaging methods.From the European Journal of Neuroscience, the official journal of FENS, we welcome two senior editors: Dr Paola Bovolenta and Dr Antoine Adamantidis.Find more on braininnovationdays.eu
We know that the COVID-19 pandemic has had repercussions far and wide, but what impact has it had on Mental Health Services and what work can be done to address some of those needs? That’s exactly what the Global Alliance of Mental Illness Advocacy Networks-Europe (GAMIAN-Europe) has been researching through a focused survey. The report has just been released and here to tell us more about the findings we have Nigel Olisa, Executive Director of GAMIAN-Europe, and Chiara Samele, Director of Informed Thinking with over 20 years of experience in mental health research.Discover more on braininnovationdays.eu
Today we’ll be looking at pioneering work that was recently recognised by the European Paediatric Neurology Society (EPNS) and awarded an EPNS Research Prize. Beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration, commonly known as BPAN, is a rare, progressive and life-limiting neurological disorder beginning in infancy or early childhood. Dr Apostolos Papandreou, from University College London, is leading research into treatments for the disorder which could also have positive implications on more common disorders as well. To tell us more, we welcome in this episode also Dr Jean-Pierre Lin, EPNS Board Member and President of the British Paediatric Neurology Association. Discover more on braininnovationdays.eu
The new season of Brain Talks focuses on Brain in the Life Course, kicking off with a focus on pediatric neurology.

In today’s Brain Talk we welcome back another speaker from our latest Brain Innovation Days Digital Session on 27 April, “Fast-Tracking Brain Innovation in Times of COVID-19” -- Dr Tomás Ryan, Assistant Professor of Neuroscience at the University at Trinity College Dublin and Chair of the FENS-Kavli Network of Excellence. During the last event, Tomás provided concluding remarks, sharing the perspective of an early to mid-career fundamental neuroscience researcher, touching on how the scientific community is going to respond to the pandemic in terms of European brain health and brain research and the central issue of harmonization and collaboration in research. COVID-19 brought most fundamental research to a halt last year, which had huge impact at all levels, as everything we are able to do within neurology and psychiatry comes from basic research. Today's podcast elaborates further on these topics of discussion.Discover more on braininnovationdays.eu
