The format closely mirrors clinical neurological reasoning:

History → Examination → Localization → Differential Diagnosis → Testing → Final Diagnosis

Focused Workshops

EAN Focused Workshops are 90-minute sessions designed for narrower clinical and scientific questions.

Their purpose is to facilitate discussion around:

• New ideas
