  • Impact of high-dose Vitamin D on MS relapse, the role of AI in neurology education, and a 4D animal model that shows precursors of MS lesions before they appear.
    Apr 17 2025

    In this episodeof Neurology Today in 5, Neurology Today editor-in-chief Joseph E. Safdieh, MD, FAAN, discusses a large trial that found high-dose Vitamin D reduced MRI evidence of disease activity in patients with clinically isolated syndrome or early relapsing MS; an animal brain map, revealing changes in inflammation, immune activity, and cell repair that preceded the appearance of MS lesions; and a discussion of the challenges and opportunities of using AI in neurology education.
