In this episode, I speak with Professor Guy Leschziner, a consultant neurologist and author of three bestselling books, including: “The Man Who Tasted Words”, “The Secret World of Sleep”, and “The Seven Deadly Sins”, which this interview focuses on. Drawing on insights from evolutionary biology, genetics, and clinical neurology, Guy makes a compelling case that what we label as “sin” may often have a biological cause, and isn't necessarily a moral failing. Expect to learn: — Why our so-called “sins” evolved as adaptive traits—and why they still serve a purpose — How free will may be more of a spectrum than a binary — Why understanding the biology of behaviour could radically change the criminal justice system — The disturbing story of Robert Alton Harris—and what it reveals about judgment, compassion, and accountability And more. You can learn more about Guy's work at https://www.guyleschziner.com. --- Dr Guy Leschziner is a neurologist with special expertise in sleep disorders and epilepsy. Dr Leschziner is Consultant Neurologist at London Bridge Hospital and Clinical Lead for the Sleep Disorders Centre at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital, London, one of the largest sleep units in Europe. He also practices at London Bridge Hospital and the Cromwell Hospital.

In this episode I discuss the history of epilepsy and of its treatments with neurologist Ian Bone, Consultant Neurologist at the Institute of Neurological Sciences Glasgow between 1978 and 2006, and Honorary Professor of Clinical Neurology at the University of Glasgow. Since retiring, Ian has worked on behalf of the Medical Research Council, and held lecturing posts overseas in India, Nepal and the West Bank.Ian traces the history of our understanding of epilepsy from Hippocratic and Galenic times, through the medieval and renaissance periods, to Victorian and modern times. He illustrates his arguments with vivid anecdotes of witchcraft, demonic possession, and exorcism, and with references to such historical figures as Pope Innocent VIII, and physicians such as William Gowers and John Hughlings Jackson.Our discussion also covers the history of epilepsy in the arts and music, and we explore the trauma and stigma that is associated with the disease. Ian also provides invaluable perspectives as a neurologist whose son has epilepsy.Ian Bone is Trustee of several Charities, and a Board Member of the Hidden Truths Project, a California based charity that champions artists with epilepsy. Ian was also Chair of Clinical Governance at the William Quarrier Scottish Epilepsy Centre, and a member of The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow Library and Heritage committee.Ian's recent publications have been on William MacEwen and the advent of epilepsy surgery; animal experimentation and the anti-vivisection movement in Victorian Britain; and the importance of history taking and examination before requesting neurological investigations.

In this episode of Living Well with MS, Overcoming MS Medical Advisor Dr Jonathan White, who is an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist, welcomes Neurologist, Dr Kate Petheram, and Gynaecologist and Menopause specialist, Dr Siobhan Kirk for a round-table discussion on multiple sclerosis and menopause. Watch this episode on YouTube here. Keep reading for the key episode takeaways. Questions and Timestamps: 00:34 The importance of talking about menopause and MS. 01:33 What is menopause? 04:48 What do we know about the effect of menopause on MS? 07:12 What are the symptoms somebody may experience with menopause, that a gynaecologist can help with? 08:47 What is hormone replacement therapy (HRT)? 10:17 Is HRT safe to take with disease-modifying therapies for MS? 12:31 Can blood tests diagnose menopause? 15:02 Is HRT safe for someone who has a family history of breast cancer? 16:33 Does HRT cause people to put on weight? 19:01 Should someone start HRT because they have MS? 21:58 Will supplements or dietary changes help menopause symptoms? 23:14 What about this concept of bioidentical HRT? 24:19 Do you think somebody with MS would benefit from testosterone patches? 26:40 What's the latest research we know about the impact on hormones and menopause treatment, and the outcomes? 28:15 Are hot flushes and heat sensitivity a concern for people with MS? 29:49 What is the Mirena coil and how that may be a part of HRT? 32:23 What are the side effects of progestogen? 32:55 Does early menopause (before 40) affect the rate of progression of someone's MS, either for the better or for worse? 39:26 Topical oestrogen and bladder symptoms Selected Key Takeaways: There is a lot of overlap between MS symptoms and menopause symptoms.6:42 Dr Kate Petheram: “Because of the overlap in symptoms. There are perhaps elements which are so relevant to menopause, which we can perhaps talk about as well in terms of symptoms such as hot flushes and heat intolerance, which again may exacerbate symptoms of MS. So, there may not be a biological difference, but the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause may influence and make worse MS symptoms, which is why I believe it's so important to recognise and point women in the right direction to get the right help." There is no evidence that Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) causes cancer. 15:19 Dr Siobhan Kirk: “There is no evidence that HRT causes breast cancer. But if you're taking extra hormones, and you've got abnormal cells, then the extra hormones can promote the growth of the abnormal cells. There's no increased risk of breast cancer with use of HRT under the age of 50, for earlier menopause, because you're just replacing what the uterus should be producing.” There is a lot of research taking place around the world on different aspects of living with MS including menopause. 34:12 Dr Jonathan White: “It is reassuring [for] someone living with MS to know that there is just a colossal amount of research going on around the world on all sorts of aspects of living with MS. I feel like reproductive health and women's health is getting to that place slowly. There's a really big push, I can see that in the research community and I'm glad to hear that menopause and post-reproductive health is getting it too.” Want to learn more about living a full and happy life with multiple sclerosis?

Parkinson's disease is a disorder that causes unintended or uncontrollable movements, such as shaking, stiffness, and difficulty with balance and coordination. It is caused by a loss of nerve cells in the brain, but what causes that loss is unclear. Parkinson's is fundamentally a condition that affects the brain but there is growing evidence that the gut may have a role to play. The idea has ignited a wave of scientific exploration, delving deeper into the gut-brain axis and its potential implications for people with the disease. The question is: if your gut plays a role in the development of Parkinson's, could what you eat and drink play a role too? Guest: Professor K Ray Chaudhuri, Consultant Neurologist
Dive into a deeper understanding of the role of inflammation in causing injury to the brain and spinal cord in multiple sclerosis. It's a journey marked by ups and downs, where the adaptive immune system composed of lymphocytes (T and B cells) attack myelin and the innate immune system clears damaged myelin. An immune cell called microglia can create smoldering inflammation in MS that poses a threat of progressive disability. Explore the arsenal of MS treatment strategies developed over the past 3 decades to either alter or suppress the immune system to reduce inflammation. Triumphs and limitations of our current MS therapies shared. Antioxidant research, diet and new therapeutics tackling smoldering inflammation bring newfound hope. Barry Singer MD, Director of The MS Center for Innovations in Care, interviews: Klaus Schemierer MB BS, PhD, FRCP, Professor of Neurology at the Blizard Institute, Queen Mary University of London, and Consultant Neurologist at The Royal London Hospital, Barts Health NHS Trust. Michael Kornberg MD, PhD, Assistant Professor of Neurology at John Hopkins.

This episode is sponsored by Bio-Techne. While advances in stem cell science have led to an increasing number of stem cell-based therapies entering clinical trials, the field is still relatively immature. Thus, these first-in-human trials are using pioneering approaches unique unto themselves, leaving scientists, physicians, and regulators to assess the best approaches for a specific therapy and/or disease. In this episode of the podcast, Martin Pera is joined by physician-scientists Roger Barker and Rajesh Rao who have and are leading stem cell-based trials to discuss some of the critical aspects of the process and reflect on the “lessons learnt” during their translational journey. Roger Barker, a pioneer in developing cell therapies for Parkinson's disease, is a Professor of Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge and Consultant Neurologist at the Addenbrooke's Hospital Cambridge. He is a Principal Investigator in the Medical Research Council (MRC) – Wellcome Trust Stem Cell Institute in Cambridge and Director of the MRC-funded UK Regenerative Medicine Platform Stem and Engineered Cell Hub. Roger is a current ISSCR Board Member, former chair of the ISSCR's Clinical Translation Committee and a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences.Rajesh Rao is an ophthalmologist and the Leonard G Miller Professor of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences at the University of Michigan; Director of Retina Service at VA Ann Arbor Health System; and the Leslie H. and Abigail S.

Neuroscience of Success.What is Neuroscience? How does it relate to our living successfully?The human body is a fantastic construct designed to be a container that bears life as ordained by God. Its workings are delicate and are seen in the coming together of many functions represented as faculties, each of which meets at a juncture that describes a collaborative relationship. One of those faculties is the central nervous system (CNS).The central nervous system (CNS) comprises the brain and spinal cord. The three broad functions of the CNS are taking in sensory information, processing information, and sending out motor signals.The CNS receives sensory information from the nervous system and controls the body's responses. The central nervous system primarily receives information from various body areas and coordinates this activity to produce the body's responses. https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-the-central-nervous-system-2794981#:~:text=The%20central%20nervous%20system%20(CNS)%20is%20comprised%20of%20the%20brain,and%20controls%20the%20body's%20responses.Our success at living purposefully and succeeding is primarily a function of how we manage our central nervous system and optimize its workings.The summary above clearly points to what neuroscience is all about; any or all of the sciences, such as neurochemistry and experimental psychology, which deal with the structure or function of the nervous system and brain.In this episode of the word café, we are so pleased to talk about this and honored to have an award-winning neuroscientist, Niyi Borire, to drive this conversation.Niyi Borire is the Director, Southwest Neurology, Consultant Neurologist, NeuroLeadership Expert, Executive Coach, Trainer, and Keynote SpeakerHe is a neurologist with a subspeciality interest in nerve and muscle disorders such as nerve injury and entrapment, neuropathy, myopathy and neurodegenerative disease. He is actively involved in research that aims to develop novel biomarkers for the early diagnosis and prevention of peripheral nerve disorders. His research has been awarded the 2015 Jim McLeod Young Investigator Award (of the Australian and New Zealand Association of Neurologists Annual), the 2016 Tow Coast Association Research Early Career Awards (from the Prince of Wales Hospital), and the 2017 Golseth Young Investigator Award (presented by the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine). Dr. Borire is also a Conjoint Lecturer in medicine at UNSW and is involved with undergraduate and postgraduate teaching. He has published numerous scientific articles and regularly presents at local and international conferences in the field of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine.Support the show
Status epilepticus is a serious medical emergency. Fortunately, it is relatively rare but when it does occur it can cause a range of serious complications including focal neurological deficits, cognitive dysfunction, and behavioural problems. So it is important that we get the diagnosis and management of this condition right.

Consultant Neurologist Dr. Hadi Manji is part of the team leading a new clinic for neurology patients with ‘Long Covid' at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN) with funding from the National Brain Appeal. The COVID Neurology Clinic will focus on complaints such as headache, ‘brain fog', muscle weakness and brain inflammation in patients recovering from the COVID-19 virus. He speaks to us at the The Long Covid Sessions about what he thinks is affecting the post-Covid brain in some people and causing some of the many neurological symptoms. He explains in broad terms what is going on in the body and offers some advice to help ease the symptoms.
