Dear Colleague, We seek your help in identifying candidates for a new, € 1 million prize. The Brain Prize has been established by a private Danish foundation, Grete Lundbeck European Brain Research Foundation. The Prize will recognize a highly original and influential advance in brain research. If several researchers have contributed significantly to this achievement, more than one individual may be nominated. Nominees can be of any nationality but the research for which they are nominated must have been conducted in Europe or in collaboration with researchers in Europe. This Prize is intended to raise the visibility of European neuroscience and to be a stimulus to this important field of research. The Selection Committee seeks your help in securing nominations of the highest quality. Please consider making a nomination (by following the link to the website in the announcement below), and feel free to forward this message to others, anywhere in the world, who might be prepared to nominate. With best wishes, Colin Blakemore, Professor Chairman of the Selection Committee For the nomination form and details of the nomination procedure, please visit: www.thebrainprize.org

Not all centers have the facilities to train young neurologists adequately in their area of interest, so the trainee may have to spend time in another country. One of the EAYNT's priorities is to help interested trainees to find a specialised training center in their subspeciality.

Have a look at the OFTEN programme.

The Diploma in clinical neurology is a unique specialist course and receives wide recognition in the UK and overseas. This is for doctors intending to practice Clinical Neurology. The candidates for this qualification must have at least one year's experience in neurology. The course commences in October each year and extends to the end of March, having a duration of six months.

• The course concludes with written, clinical and oral examinations, leading to the award of the Diploma in clinical neurology.
• This postgraduate training programme includes systematic lectures, outpatient teaching sessions and specialist clinics, inpatient teaching sessions and ward clerking, as well as sessions on clinical neuroanatomy, neurophysiology and neuropathology directly related to clinical problems. Also there are systematic sessions in basic science, special investigation and methods of examining the nervous system and critical appraisal module.
• There are organized visits to specialized national centres: management of patients with epilepsy (The National Society for Epilepsy, Chalfont St. Peter), spinal injuries (National Spinal Injuries Center, Stoke Mandeville Hospital) and post stroke rehabilitation (Regional Neurological Rehabilitation Unit Homerton Hospital).

Free applications, accompanied by a structured curriculum vitae, a list of publications, and a letter of recommendation. Note: remember to specify which of the two courses you apply for.

Both courses are supervised by the following persons:
Prof. Simon Shorvon, The National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery, Queen SquareLondon WC1N 3BG, United Kingdom
Daniela Warr: Education Unit, Institute of Neurology, Queen Square, London WC1N 3BG, United Kingdom.
