We read with great interest the recent article published in your journal by Roze et
al. [
[1]
] describing the impact of their mime-based role-play initiative in helping medical
students to understand neurological seminology and reduce neurophobia. We commend
the authors for their efforts to develop ways to support neuroscience education for
medical students as we believe this is important for encouraging more students into
the brain-related specialties (neurology, neurosurgery and psychiatry). Here we wanted
to describe a novel conference design we developed to support neuroscience education
outside the mainstream curriculum and reduce neurophobia, which has been reported
to exist at our institution [
