Today, July 22, is World Brain Day

Today is World Brain Day. EARLS would like to use this day to highlight the fact that Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS, WED) is one of the most common neurological conditions with a high burden of disease, yet is under-prioritised in healthcare and funding programmes.
Together, we have the power to make a difference and ensure that no one is left behind! 🧠💪

EARLS Scholarship presented to Angelica Montini at the European Academy of Neurology Congress in Helsinki

At the European Academy of Neurology Congress in Helsinki, EARLS Vice President Julian Spinks presented the EARLS Scholarship to Angelica Montini, a young Italian researcher, for her outstanding work in the field of Restless Legs Syndrome.

Angelica Montini, PhD student at the Department of Biomedical and Neuromotor Sciences, University of Bologna, Italy, has been awarded the pan-European patient-funded EARLS Scholarship for her research project "Biomarkers of Inflammation in Restless Legs Syndrome (iRLS)". The prize, awarded for the first time this year by the European Alliance for Restless Legs Syndrome (EARLS), is aimed at scientists who have made outstanding contributions to Restless Legs Syndrome research.
