We'd like to welcome all readers worldwide to the October 2025 issue of World Neurology.
In this issue, World Federation of Neurology (WFN) President Prof. Wolfgang Grisold updates readers on many important WFN activities, including the successful conclusion of the World Congress of Neurology (WCN) in Seoul, South Korea, and the recent voting results from the Council of Delegates.
This issue includes reports from the recent World Brain Day in July 2025 with the theme of "Brain Health for All Ages." The colorfully illustrated articles include WBD reports from member societies in Brazil, regions of Sri Lanka, and Türkiye.
In this issue's history column, Dr. Peter J. Koehler delves into the historical and international collaborative aspects of the infections of diphtheria, tetanus, and poliomyelitis, which affect the nervous system. He also explores the development of their vaccines.
This issue also features heartfelt obituaries of two giants of international neurology who recently passed away: Dr. Robert B. Daroff and Dr. Peter J. Dyck.
Whether you attended October's WCN or not, be sure to see this issue's photo pages that highlight many of the activities at the congress. There will be more reports to come about this remarkable WCN in the next issue!
In closing, we again thank all neurologists and neurologic trainee readers in all regions of the world for your interest in the WFN and World Neurology. ■
