In this month’s EAN Pages, we have the top 15 European Journal of Neurology (EJoN) articles from 2018, selected by EJoN editor-in-chief, Professor Tony Schapira. His choices reflect the full spectrum of neurological disorders, from evidence-based practice guidelines in MS, stroke and applications of PET, to original studies in Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, MS, and subarachnoid haemorrhage, and consideration of topical and evolving fields, such as deep brain stimulation and limbic encephalitis. He also lists the most popular and cited review articles from last year, including outgoing EAN President Professor Guenther Deuschl on essential tremor and Professor Sarah Tabrizi on Huntington’s disease. Update yourself on important developments in neurology and expert review of cutting edge in the field as we head into 2019.
