NORD’s RareEDU™ released this video, Gene Therapy: Your Questions Answered, in order to address a vital topic to today's rare disease community. The goal of this video is to address the questions, hopes and concerns that patients and caregivers, across many different diseases, have about gene therapy. Since more than 80% of rare diseases are believed to be genetic, this video will serve as a helpful resource for the rare disease community.

In this podcast, Bernard Dan speaks to Professor Bruno Bonaz of the University of Grenoble. They discuss Bernard’s editorial in the July 2018 issue of Developmental Medicine & Child Neurology: ‘Vagal nerve stimulation beyond epilepsy’.

The editorial is available here: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/dmcn.13779

Scientists at the University of Nottingham are working with University College London (UCL) on a five-year project which has the potential to revolutionise the world of human brain imaging.Magnetoencephalography (MEG) is a technique for mapping brain activity - it measures the magnetic fields generated by electrical currents that occur naturally in the brain. A £1.6m Collaborative Award in Science from Wellcome is funding the construction of a new type of MEG scanner which, if successful, could quadruple the sensitivity of current devices.The project is a collaboration between the University of Nottingham and University College London.
