Mind the gap, passage hallucinations, and conducting on cue - Editors' Highlights February 2026

When a patient says, "I biffed the car," how should that be translated? Puzzles like this represent the gap between description and diagnosis, and are a critical part of neurological practice. In this podcast for the February 2026 issue of Practical Neurology, editors Phil Smith and Geraint Fuller take turns decoding some of the mysteries of everyday neurology. They cover dementia with Lewy bodies, osteoporosis and fracture risk, and anxiety and depression in epilepsy patients, as a sample of some of the published work in the latest journal. There's also a guide to the latest stroke rehabilitation guidelines, freezing of gait, and a farewell to a 'nom de plume'.

What access to GPs tells us about the NHS 10 year plan, and online gambling

We’re 18 months into the Labour government, and their changes to the NHS are beginning to be felt. In the 10 year plan that they launched last year, they announced three planned shifts for the health service. Firstly, they pledge to move care from hospitals to the community, an increased focus on prevention rather than sickness, and shift from analogue to digital with an improved NHS app where patients can access records, seek advice and control some aspects of their care. However, accessing primary care and getting a GP appointment is still a key area of concern for patients and healthcare staff. In a new research paper on bmj.com, a group of researchers have performed a qualitative study asking 70 patients about their experiences of accessing primary care in England. We're joined by Hugh Alderwick and Luisa Petigrew from the Health Foundation to discuss what the findings mean for the 10 year plan. Also this week, online gambling is a growing problem. The immediacy of access, combined with advertising and push notifications, and a proliferation of new gambling companies, undermines traditional ways of managing a gambling addiction. A new analysis argues that these new forms of online gambling requires new forms of regulation. Spencer Murch from the University of Calgery offers some ideas on how that could work. Reading list Experience of access to general practice in England Policies to increase access to general practice may have unintended consequences Online gambling requires greater government regulation

The eye as a snowglobe: Uveitis for neurologists

Eye pain can be a source of serious concern for patients, bringing worries about their eyesight. While uveitis is far from the only source of ocular pain, in many presentations of the condition it is a feature. In this Editors' Choice podcast, ophthalmic surgeon Mr. Harry Petrushkin¹ ² and neurologist Dr. Ruth Dubson³ join forces to explain a comprehensive approach to uveitis treatment. Host Dr. Amy Ross Russell leads the way through a refresher on eye anatomy and the spectrum of uveitis patients neurologists are likely to encounter. These are often the more serious of patients, requiring good working relationships across disciplines. They also speak of the overlap with neuroinflammatory presentations, and the eye manifestations seen in conditions like multiple sclerosis and sarcoidosis.

Unseen wounds: the psychological toll of complications

Medical professionals can oftentimes fall under the category of "second victims", as they experience burnout and moral injury from the impacts of their work. Over the course of a neurointerventionalist's medical career, serious complications in procedures are sadly inevitable. These can be difficult to process, and there are not always the systems in place to provide the support needed, either inside or outside of the hospital. A new survey has been carried out to assess the severity and prevalence of negative psychological effects on physicians who have experienced these complications. Dr. Ansaar Rai¹ joins JNIS Editor-in-Chief Dr. Michael Chen to discuss the original research piece, "Unseen wounds: a multinational investigation of neurointerventionalists on the psychological toll of complications".
