  <title>Exploring the Emerging Role of GLP-1 Therapies in Neurology</title>
  <description>Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice.

In this Mind Moments episode, Pezhman Roohani, MD, neurologist and medical director of the teleneurology and telestroke program at Allina Health, joins the podcast to discuss the emerging role of GLP-1 receptor agonists across neurology. Roohani outlines where these therapies may have the greatest impact, highlighting stroke prevention, neurodegenerative diseases, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, and other areas being explored as researchers look beyond their established metabolic effects.

The conversation also examines what recent Alzheimer disease trial results mean for the future of GLP-1 research, including the potential importance of prevention and identifying patient subgroups most likely to benefit. Roohani discusses key cautions surrounding long-term use, muscle loss, nutrition, and lifestyle modification, as well as practical considerations when counseling patients. He closes by highlighting unanswered research questions and potential applications in neuroinflammation, traumatic brain injury, and addiction.
