This short (and less serious!) episode explains the many hidden details in our intricate logo, with a few perhaps unexpected learning points discussed along the way, including a brief discussion of different ways of acquiring an electroencephalogram (EEG) recording, the four radiological locations for typical multiple sclerosis (MS) lesions, some of the clinical symptoms and signs of idiopathic Parkinson’s disease (iPD), one of the advanced therapy treatment options for migraine, the surface anatomy for performing routine motor nerve conduction studies (NCS) on the median nerve at the wrist in the context of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), the most common semicircular canal implicated in benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV), the anatomical distribution of atrophy in Alzheimer’s disease (AD), and a common vascular site for dominant hemisphere anterior circulation acute ischaemic strokes. The episode also briefly discusses the motor and sensory examination as the groundwork of clinical neurology, the different awareness ribbons and their associated colours for the eight chosen categories of neurological diseases included in our logo, and even two species of flowers associated with two common neurological diseases.
