Today, on 28 February, we are recognizing Rare Disease Day and sharing another podcast episode from our short series dedicated to rare neurological diseases.

🎙️In this third episode, “Red flags of treatable rare myopathies" Olimpia Musumeci speaks with Antonio Toscano and Marianne de Visser about hereditary, particularly metabolic, and acquired myopathies, especially idiopathic inflammatory myopathies amenable to treatment.

They review advances in pathophysiology, diagnostic approaches and novel therapies, highlighting clinical red flags and strategies that have a significant impact on timely diagnosis and management in daily neurological practice.

🧬 Rare Disease Day is coming up on 28 February, and in recognition of this important day, we have released a series of podcast episodes dedicated to rare neurological diseases.

🎙️In our second episode, “Red flags of treatable rare cerebral small vessels diseases" moderator Emanuele D’amico talks with guest Anna Bersano about red flags for rare and potentially treatable cerebral small vessel diseases.

They discuss how early onset, family history, multisystem involvement, and characteristic MRI patterns can help distinguish monogenic and metabolic forms from sporadic disease, focusing on conditions such as CADASIL, Fabry disease, CARASIL, and COL4A1/2-related angiopathies, and emphasising the importance of structured diagnostic pathways and early recognition for appropriate management.

We’re excited to introduce the speakers joining us at the European Brain Health Summit 2026, who will drive the conversation forward on building a brain-healthy society and economy through two dynamic panel discussions:

💡 Laying the Foundations – from birth to healthy aging: will emphasize the critical role of early life stages in shaping lifelong brain health, with discussions exploring how early childhood development and ongoing brain health maintenance throughout the life course are essential for preventing neurological conditions and supporting healthy aging.

💡 Towards a European Strategy: will address the ongoing efforts to develop a unified European strategy, discussing the need for coordinated policies and collaborative actions to tackle neurological disorders with a focus on prevention, early diagnosis, and treatment.
