Discovering Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy, and flavour identification in FTLD

In the last JNNP podcast of 2012, we look at what jelly beans and the Andalucian mountains have done for neurology and psychiatry.

Alan Emery, emeritus professor, Green Temple College, University of Oxford, describes studying the family that led him to delineate Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy.

And Jason Warren and Rohani Omar, UCL Institute of Neurology, talk about what their study into flavour identification in frontotemporal lobar degeneration reveals.
