The Guest Editor of this issue of Seminars in Neurology is Dr. Sashank Prasad.

Dr. Prasad is Associate Professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School. He received his BA in English Language and Literature from Yale University, cum laude. He then went to the University of Pennsylvania, where he received his MD, and stayed on for internship in Internal Medicine, residency in Neurology, and two fellowships, Neuro-Ophthalmology and Cognitive Neurology. He came to the Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in 2010, where he has rapidly risen the ranks, achieving Associate Professor in 2015 and Program Director of the Partners Neurology Residency Program in 2018. He is a gifted and revered teacher, well-loved both inside and outside his institution, by students, residents, and colleagues. Dr. Prasad is a recognized international leader in the field, serving on numerous committees within the North American Neuro-Ophthalmology Society. He has received multiple teaching awards, and is seen as a pioneer in medical education. He has innumerable contributions to the field of Neuro-Ophthalmology, including primary investigative research, books, monographs, and reviews. He is the quintessential academic neurologist, helping to lead the future of the field.

I greatly appreciate the efforts of Dr. Prasad, as well as all of the contributing authors, for their important work in this issue on Neuro-Ophthalmology, which I am sure will be of great interest to the readers of Seminars. The issue spans the gamut of Neuro-Ophthalmology, and gives insights into both cutting-edge research in the field and truly practical advice that every neurologist can benefit from. It is simply a marvelous issue, and I am personally grateful to Sashank for his dedication, effort, and enthusiasm. I hope you enjoy it!
