You can now register for the second edition of WFN Digital Neurology Updates (WNU 2026) and benefit from the early bird rates! A new study explores the overlap between posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) and reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS), two disorders linked to cerebrovascular dysregulation. While traditionally considered separate conditions, the findings suggest overlapping presentations may occur more frequently than previously recognised. The World Federation of Neurology (WFN) has appointed Dr. Paola Guraieb Chahin (Mexico) and Prof. Njideka Ulunma Okubadejo (Nigeria) as co-opted trustees. A new study investigates the potential role of neuroinflammation in persistent neuropsychiatric symptoms of Long COVID in older adults. While the biological basis of these symptoms remains unclear, chronic inflammatory processes have been increasingly suspected as a key driver. Vol. 486, July 2026 now available I’d like to warmly welcome all neurologists — and anyone interested in neurology and brain health worldwide — to the first World Neurology issue of 2026. As this is also the first issue under my tenure as World Federation of Neurology (WFN) president, I’d like to introduce you, our readers, to the WFN. I would also like to briefly introduce myself and our goals for my presidential tenure. A new study highlights how long-term stroke care strategies can help protect cognitive function in stroke survivors, reinforcing the importance of ongoing management beyond the acute phase. While cognitive impairment remains common after stroke, the findings show that targeted treatment approaches can significantly reduce this risk. A new study explores glymphatic system dysfunction in children with pediatric acquired demyelinating syndromes (PADS), highlighting a potential but under-recognised mechanism in neurological disease. While disruptions to the brain’s waste clearance system have been identified in adults, their role in paediatric cases has remained largely unclear.
