    Abstract Pearce Bailey (1902-1976) had an active career focused on the growth and development of neurology as a specialty in the post-World War II era. He was a founding member of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and its second president from 1951 to 1953. In 1951, he was also appointed as the first director of the National Institute for Neurological Diseases and Blindness (NINDB), which is now the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Known as an excellent politician, Bailey's role at the NINDB helped bolster the AAN in its early days. Prominent neurologists in the AAN, especially A. B. Baker, also helped shape the NINDB as early advisors. Bailey continued working to move neurology forward globally, including cofounding the World Federation of Neurology with Ludo van Bogaert in 1957 and becoming director of the NINDB International Research Program in 1959. Bailey retired in 1971, having been dubbed by Baker as "one of the smartest politicians that ever came to Washington."

    Abstract Robert Wartenberg (1887-1956) was born in Grodno (in present-day Belarus) and received his medical degree in Germany in 1919. He enjoyed a productive career at the University of Freiburg until 1935, when he fled Nazi Germany for the United States. Bernard Sachs, with whom he had worked during a Rockefeller fellowship in 1926, helped him secure a position at the University of California Medical Center in San Francisco in 1936. He was popular with students there as his sizeable personality translated into an engaging classroom style, but that same personality could create friction with colleagues. Following World War II, neurology as a specialty was growing and establishing its place in the medical landscape. With this goal in mind, A.B. Baker and other young neurologic leaders formed the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) in 1948 as an inclusive professional society. Baker recruited Wartenberg to join, he agreed, and immediately provided his own critiques on the organization. Wartenberg's standing in the academic community combined with his strong personality would serve Baker well as Wartenberg shielded the young AAN leadership from potential retribution. He was especially invested in ensuring the Academy had a journal as a means of development, and the journal

    Abstract Transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) is a non-invasive modality of focal brain stimulation in which a fluctuating magnetic field induces electrical currents within the cortex. It remains unclear to what extent TMS alters EEG biomarkers and how EEG biomarkers may guide treatment of focal epilepsy. We present a case of a 48-year-old man with focal epilepsy, refractory to multiple medication trials, who experienced a dramatic reduction in seizures after targeting the area of seizure onset within the left parietal-occipital region with low-frequency repetitive TMS (rTMS). Prior to treatment, he experienced focal seizures that impacted cognition including apraxia at least 50-60 times daily. MRI of the brain showed a large focal cortical dysplasia with contrast enhancement involving the left occipital-parietal junction. Stimulation for 5 consecutive days was well-tolerated and associated with a day-by-day reduction in seizure frequency. In addition, he was monitored with continuous video EEG, which showed continued and progressive changes in spectral power (decreased broadband power and increased infraslow delta activity) and a gradual reduction in seizure frequency and duration. One month after initial treatment, 2-day ambulatory EEG demonstrated seizure-freedom and MRI showed resolution of focal contrast enhancement. He continues to receive 2-3 days of rTMS every 2-4 months. He was seizure-free for 6 months, and at last follow-up of 17 months was experiencing auras approximately every 2 weeks without progression to disabling seizures. This case demonstrates that rTMS can be a well-tolerated and effective means of controlling medication-refractory seizures, and that EEG biomarkers change gradually in a fashion in association with seizure frequency. TMS influences cortical excitability, is a promising non-invasive means of treating focal epilepsy, and has measurable electrophysiologic effects.

    Abstract Background: Synchronous collaboration as defined by a simultaneous encounter between primary care providers (PCPs), patients, and neurologists may improve access to neurologic expertise, care value, and satisfaction of PCPs and patients. We examined a series of synchronous collaborations and report outcomes, PCP satisfaction, downstream utilization, and illustrative case examples.
    Methods: Within an outpatient collaborative primary care-neurology care model, we implemented synchronous video consultations from a central hub to satellite clinics while increasing availability of synchronous telephone and face-to-face collaboration. PCP experience was assessed by a postcollaboration survey. Individual cases were summarized. Clinical and utilization outcomes were assessed by a neurologist immediately after and by follow-up chart review.
    Results: A total of 58 total synchronous collaborations were performed: 30 by telephone (52%), 18 face to face (31%), and 10 by video (17%) over 27 clinic half-days. The most frequent outcomes as assessed by the neurologist were reassurance of the PCP (23/58; 40%) and patient (22/59; 38%), and the neurologist changed the treatment plan (23/58; 40%). A subsequent face-to-face consultation was completed in 15% (6/58) of patients initially assessed by telephone or video. Test utilization was avoided in 40% (23/58). Unintended utilization occurred 9% (5/58). Most PCPs were very satisfied with the ease of access, quality of care, and reported high likelihood of subsequent use. PCPs perceived similar or less time spent during synchronous vs asynchronous collaboration and neurologist usually altered the testing (87.8%) and treatment plan (95.2%).
    Conclusions: Synchronous collaboration between neurologists and PCPs may improve timely access to neurologic expertise, downstream utilization, and PCP satisfaction.

    Abstract Purpose: The objective of this study was to describe the sEEG-defined seizure onset zone (SOZ), seizure semiology, presurgical evaluations, surgical intervention and outcome in patients with midline onset noninvasive phase I monitoring.
    Methods: A single center sEEG database was reviewed to identify patients with seizures onset predominantly involving midline electrodes (FZ, CZ, PZ, OZ) on scalp EEG. Data abstracted included clinical factors, seizure semiology graded into lobar segmentation, imaging and electrographic findings, sEEG plan, interventions, and outcome.
    Results: Twelve patients were identified (8 males, median age of sEEG 28 years) out of 100 cases of sEEG performed from January 2015-September 2019. "Frontal lobe" seizure semiology was the most common. sEEG-defined SOZ were frontal (5), diffuse (1), multifocal (1), frontal and insular (1), frontal and cingulate (1), insular (1), cingulate (1), and mesial temporal (1). CZ and/or FZ scalp EEG changes were present for all patients with SOZ involving the frontal, cingulate, and insular regions. PZ/OZ scalp involvement was present in one patient with mesial temporal SOZ. Four patients underwent a definitive resective or ablative surgery, and the remaining patients underwent a palliative intervention. Of those with follow-up information available, 8/11 had seizure reduction by ≥ 50%, including 4 with an Engel I outcome. No clinical factors were associated with outcome.
    Conclusions: SOZ for midline onset seizures from noninvasive phase I monitoring was most commonly in the frontal, cingulate, and insular regions. A complex cortical network between these regions may explain overlap in semiology and scalp EEG findings. While the number rendered seizure-free was limited, a significant proportion experienced a reasonably favorable outcome justifying use of sEEG to identify surgical options in these patients.

    Abstract Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) associated with multiple sclerosis (MS) was first described in Lehrbuch der Nervenkrankheiten für Ärzte und Studirende in 1894 by Hermann Oppenheim, including a pathologic description of trigeminal root entry zone demyelination. Early English-language translations in 1900 and 1904 did not so explicitly state this association compared with the German editions. The 1911 English-language translation described a more direct association. Other later descriptions were clinical with few pathologic reports, often referencing Oppenheim but citing the 1905 German or 1911 English editions of Lehrbuch. This discrepancy in part may be due to the translation differences of the original text.

    Abstract Silas Weir Mitchell (1829-1914), one of the fathers of American neurology, is well known for many contributions to neurology. However, his efforts in epilepsy are overshadowed by his other accomplishments. Mitchell introduced a new bromide preparation, lithium bromide, as a viable therapy. His most widely accepted contribution to the field was the introduction of inhaled amyl nitrite for early termination of seizures accompanied by an appropriate aura. Despite the prevalent views on lifestyle modification as a treatment for epilepsy during this time period, as well as Mitchell's own development of the "rest cure" for certain disease states, he was not a proponent of these types of interventions for epilepsy, nor did he support interventions focused on other organ systems, such as abdominal or gynecologic surgery. Mitchell had distinct opinions on the treatment of epilepsy, and helped to advance its therapeutics during his career.
