Today, we'll talk with one of the true giants of stroke neurology - Dr. Louis Caplan, Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School and Senior Neurologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. For decades, Dr. Caplan has shaped how we think about stroke. He's authored an enormous body of work -- landmark papers, books, and clinical descriptions that have changed how neurologists around the world recognize and classify strokes.

But today, rather than revisiting the past, we'll ask how he sees the future - of stroke, clinical reasoning in an era of AI, and of medicine itself. Dr. Caplan was interviewed by Dr. Sarah Nelson, neurointensivist and Assistant Professor of Neurology at Tufts Medical Center. Series 7, Episode 2

This is episode, we'll look at a national effort to advance clinical research and patient care through artificial intelligence. AI depends on data that are large, diverse, and well-labeled -- in contrast, most clinical data are siloed, inconsistent, and biased toward certain populations. The CHoRUS Network, part of the NIH's Bridge2AI consortium, is standardizing and harmonizing data from many hospitals so they can actually be used for training machine-learning models. Dr. Eric Rosenthal is Contact PI for the CHoRUS Network, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School, and an epileptologist, clinical neurophysiologist, and neurointensivist at Mass General Brigham. He was interviewed about CHoRUS by Dr. Masoom Desai, neurointensivist at the University of New Mexico and site PI for the CHoRUS Network. Series 7, Episode 1

Disclosures: Dr. Desai disclosed: PI- MAPS-ABI locally funded by CBRR, UNMHSC, Site PI for RAISE, RESET, SAFER-EEG, KeSETT, SHINKEI-TBI trials, Site PI for CHoRUS, Bridge2AI, Site co-PI for ICECAP and Post-ICECAP. Dr. Rosenthal disclosed: Committee service on Bridge to AI and the Curing Coma Campaign

The American Neurological Association's 150th Annual Meeting held in Baltimore September 13-16, 2025 was a milestone meeting celebrating 150 years of progress, discovery, advances in science, and the remarkable work of academic neurologists and neuroscientists over the past century and a half. The meeting—ANA2025—featured outstanding plenary sessions, professional development workshops, interactive lunch workshops, special interest groups, cross-cutting special interest groups, the celebrated poster hall, satellite symposia, and several opportunities to network and connect with colleagues and friends.

Dr. Michelle Johansen of Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, immediate past chair of the ANA Education Innovation Committee, engaged with meeting attendees to learn more about their experience at ANA2025 and what they think about the ANA. Listen in as meeting attendees share their insights, meeting highlights, and enthusiasm for the ANA during Dr. Johansen's boots on the ground interactions with them. From the Presidential Symposium to the closing sessions, learn about ANA2025, the science and research shared, and the reactions of those who were in Baltimore to experience it.
