We are deeply saddened by the passing of former rugby star Rob Burrows. His tireless work to raise awareness for motor neurone disease (MND) and the need for research funding was truly inspiring. Our heartfelt thoughts and condolences go out to Rob's loved ones. ❤️

Research led by Prof Sanjay Sisodiya (UCL Queen Square Institute of Neurology) with funding from Epilepsy Society and The National Brain Appeal, has found that adverse weather events caused by climate change are likely to negatively impact neurological health. bit.ly/4bWmoCY
