I'd like to warmly welcome all neurologists — and anyone interested in neurology and brain health worldwide — to the first World Neurology issue of 2026. As this is also the first issue under my tenure as World Federation of Neurology (WFN) president, I'd like to introduce you, our readers, to the WFN. I would also like to briefly introduce myself and our goals for my presidential tenure.

Functional imaging reveals cerebral microvascular dysfunction in primary antiphospholipid syndrome
17 Feb 2026
A new study highlights the often-overlooked burden of cerebral microvascular involvement in primary antiphospholipid syndrome (PAPS), even in patients without overt neurological events. Using Tc-99m ECD SPECT imaging, the researchers identified consistent cortical perfusion abnormalities that were not detected by conventional MRI, suggesting subclinical brain involvement

Evolving Viewpoints on the Cerebellum
30 Dec 2025
With respect to the history of functions successively attributed to it, the cerebellum is perhaps one of the most remarkable parts of the central nervous system. Five years ago, I wrote about vital functions attributed to the cerebellum (“Early Ideas on the Localization of Vital Functions: From Cerebellum to Medulla Oblongata,” World Neurology, Winter 2019). This was particularly true in the 17th and 18th centuries when it was initially thought that the cerebellum was a vital organ. More careful experiments gradually revealed that this was not the case. The ideas regarding nonmotor functions of the cerebellum, however, are more numerous than that.
