ExampleAwaji or Gold Coast criteria for ALS: what actually changed?
The Gold Coast criteria (2020) simplify the diagnosis: progressive motor impairment with upper and lower motor neuron dysfunction in one body region, or lower motor neuron dysfunction in two, once other causes are excluded. They drop the possible/probable/definite categories1.
Awaji (2008) is still the reference for how EMG findings count: fasciculation potentials carry the same weight as fibrillations when chronic neurogenic change is present2.
Bottom line
Diagnose with Gold Coast (2020). Interpret the EMG with Awaji (2008).

Three societies. Two versions. One question.
Awaji or Gold Coast? ACNS terminology from 2012 or 2021? Whose minimum EEG standard does your department follow, IFCN's or ACNS's?
The answers exist. They're spread across society websites, journals and PDFs from different decades, and some sit behind paywalls.
Neuronara puts them side by side and tells you which applies.
What Neuronara does for you
Compares instead of guessing
When societies disagree or a version changes, Neuronara shows each side with its citation. If the sources don't settle the question, it says so.
Speaks neurophysiology
Type the way you talk at the reporting desk: CTS, NCSE, LPD, SSEP, MSLT. Neuronara knows what you mean.
Knows where you practise
BSCN in the UK, ACNS and AANEM in the US, JSCN in Japan. International bodies always, and your local ones first.
Fits your practice
Only carpal tunnels? The whole EEG, EMG and IONM service? Scope Neuronara to what you actually do.
Uses the access you already have
Add your library's OpenAthens or EZproxy link and paywalled papers open through your trust or university.
Ask. Compare. Use.
- AskType the question as you'd put it to a colleague, abbreviations included.
- CompareSee which standard applies, where it differs from the others, and the source for each.
- UseTake the bottom line into your report, protocol, audit or teaching.
Built on the guidance you already trust
IFCN · ILAE · ACNS · AANEM · AASM · BSCN · EAN · PNS · ISIN · ISCEV
Plus the open literature through Europe PMC. Neuronara is independent and is not affiliated with or endorsed by these organisations.
What Neuronara is not
- Not a substitute for your judgement. It shows you the evidence. You read the trace.
- Not a general chatbot. It answers from published sources and shows you each one.
- Not a place for patient data. Ask about the finding, never about the patient.
Questions
Is it free?
Yes, while Neuronara is in pilot. There's no account and nothing to install.
Where do the answers come from?
From a curated library of 67 society guidelines and consensus papers, each checked against its DOI or PubMed record, plus a live search of Europe PMC, which includes MEDLINE. An AI model writes the answer from those sources only and shows you every one.
Does it replace OpenEvidence or Consensus?
No. They cover all of medicine; Neuronara covers one specialty in depth. When your question is broad, Neuronara passes it to them in one click.
What happens to my question?
It goes to Europe PMC, and to an AI provider that writes the answer. Neuronara stores nothing. Some free AI providers may keep prompts, which is one more reason never to type patient details.
Who is it for?
Consultants, trainees and clinical physiologists in neurophysiology, and neurologists who carry out their own studies.
