Are anxiety-related disorders increasing—or becoming more visible in healthcare records? Danish registry data from 5.9M people found 2019–2021 rates were ~2× those in 2004–2006, especially among children and young adults. https://neurotorium.org/slidedeck/anxiety-disorders-epidemiology-and-burden/

Epileptogenesis is the process by which the brain develops epilepsy 🧠 Epileptogenesis appears to be driven by a wide array of changes to neuronal and non-neuronal cells, at the levels of the cell, the pathways within the cell, and genetics. To learn more go to https://ow.ly/FiEC50ZqhfU

Psychiatric disorders are common in epilepsy and often remain undiagnosed and untreated, despite their major impact on quality of life and survival. Learn more in this Neurotorium article by Prof. Churl-Su Kwon and Prof. Nathalie Jetté. https://ow.ly/raXl50Znaen

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Neurotorium Special Symposium on 'Decoding brain diseases: Inflammation, immunology, and body-brain interactions' Our session featured cutting-edge research from Professors Michael Heneka, Tarja Malm, and Séverine Boillée #FENS2026

The Neurotorium Special Symposium, 'Decoding Brain Diseases: Inflammation, Immunology, and Body-Brain Interactions,' is happening on Monday, July 6, at 12:15 CET in Hall H. Be sure to join us and take the opportunity to ask your questions to Professors Heneka, Malm, Boillée, and Khandaker.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the Neurotorium symposium at the European Academy of Neurology Congress in Geneva, where leading experts discussed how precision medicine is shaping the future of neurology. Follow Neurotorium's outreach page and stay tuned for our upcoming activities.

How are the brain and spinal cord protected? The meninges surround the central nervous system, providing protection and supporting cerebrospinal fluid circulation. Explore our new Regional Neuroscience deck: https://neurotorium.org/slidedeck/fundamentals-regional-neuroscience/

On June 27 at 11:00 CET, leading experts including Professors James Rowe, Deb Pal, Ira Haraldsen, and Eva Schaeffer will explore how precision medicine is reshaping neurology across conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, dementias, and epilepsy. Join us at EAN Congress 2026 in Room Budapest.

How might vascular signalling contribute to migraine pain? In human migraine models, CGRP and PACAP-38 may lead to vasodilation and activation of nearby pain-signalling nerve fibres. Explore more: https://neurotorium.org/slidedeck/migraine-neurobiology-and-aetiology/

🌟 Special symposium by @neurotorium.org at #FENS2026! 🧠 Titled 'Decoding Brain Diseases: Inflammation, Immunology, and Body-Brain Interactions,' the symposium will focus on the role of inflammatory and immunological mechanisms in brain diseases through four talks. 👉️ Learn more: buff.ly/1c4aVVQ

June is Migraine Awareness Month. We have added a new FAQ section to our migraine theme page, covering common questions, symptoms, and treatment strategies—all in one place and ready to download. https://neurotorium.org/migraine/

How does the nervous system detect the world around us? Specialised sensory receptors convert stimuli such as heat, pressure, light and odours into signals the brain can interpret. Explore our new Systems Neuroscience deck here: https://neurotorium.org/slidedeck/fundamentals-systems-neuroscience/

What enables a neuron to generate an electrical signal? The resting membrane potential, shaped by unequal ion distribution across the membrane, is essential for neuronal communication. Explore our new deck: https://neurotorium.org/slidedeck/fundamentals-cellular-molecular-neuroscience/
