A rare sight on the podcast: a paper from the cutting edge of practice, with the novel use of CAR-T cells in treating neurological diseases. Editors Phil Smith and Geraint Fuller bring a selection of papers from the October 2026 issue of the journal to discuss. Returning to the more commonplace, they present a how-to on conversations around lower back pain. There's the editors' choice for the issue: a majestic paper on suspected encephalitis, as well as non-motor symptoms in Parkinson's, a review of the 2024 McDonald criteria for MS diagnosis, and pitfalls to avoid with oxygen desaturation.
