Send us a textIn this episode, we are joined by Drs. Rani Vasireddy and Dhanya Gorty to talk about virtual escape rooms in neurology education, live from the AAN Annual Meeting 2025. Through interactive puzzles and clinical problem-solving, players solve challenges in a progressive sequence to ultimately "save" the virtual patient. Their innovative approach addresses the engagement gap for today's learners while providing immediate feedback that traditional teaching methods lack. Educators interested in developing similar tools can use platforms like Genially, Scratch, or even Google Forms. Find Dr. Vasireddy and Dr. Gorty on Twitter/X!

Send us a textIn this episode, we are joined by Dr. Manasa Gunturu, a neurology-trained neuro-ophthalmologist and associate professor at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. We discuss the art of detailed history-taking and specialized examination skills, the evaluation of patients with subjective vision loss, double vision, visual field defects, and droopy eyelids – often after they've already seen multiple specialists without answers. We also explore the educational pathways to becoming a neuro-ophthalmologist and the surprising disparity between ophthalmology and neurology training requirements.With only about 600 practicing neuro-ophthalmologists in the United States and some states having just a single specialist, Dr. Gunturu makes a compelling case for why more neurologists should consider this rewarding subspecialty and shares resources for trainees looking to improve their neuro-ophthalmology skills.Dr. Gunturu also serves as Section Editor for the NOVEL NANOS Illustrated Curriculum, and they’ve been working hard to build a virtual education library!The annual NANOS (North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society) conference is another fantastic opportunity for students and residents to get more involved in the field of neuro-ophthalmology.  Check out our website at www.theneurotransmitters.com to sign up for emails, classes, and quizzes!
