131: Neurology Unwrapped: 2024’s Most Intriguing Conversations
Episode 131
Friday, 27 December, 2024
Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice. In this special episode, we’ve compiled some of the most compelling conversations from Mind Moments podcast episodes throughout 2024. These discussions spotlight groundbreaking research and advancements in neurology that are propelling the field forward. The NeurologyLive team also explored the impact of several newly FDA-approved therapies, offering clinicians valuable insights into what these treatments mean for patient care and their practical use in the clinic. Featured in this week’s episode, in order of appearance, are: Daniel Ontaneda, MD, PhD, a staff member of the Cleveland Clinic Mellen Center for Multiple Sclerosis, who gave an overview on the new 2024 McDonald criteria to diagnose multiple sclerosis (MS), which was presented at the 40th Congress of the European Committee for Treatment and Research in Multiple Sclerosis (ECTRIMS).
