"We use the words headache as a metaphor for minor annoyances. We say that traffic is a headache. That we use the same word to describe what happens to a person with a migraine is a great misfortune." The speaker is Tom Zeller, a renowned science journalist, a veteran of The New York Times and contributor to media outlets such as National Geographic who lives much of his life with almost indescribable pain. He suffers from cluster headaches, a condition so severe it's known as suicide headaches. For years, his struggle was a "private and personal quest," a solitary immersion in the most obscure scientific literature, searching for any clue that might explain his suffering. "At some point," he confesses, "I realized I'd been researching this book for decades. I just didn't know I was doing it."

Nobody knows where it is Boris Cyrulnik and there are only two hours left until, in theory, it offers a masterclass at CosmoCaixa in Barcelona. The renowned neurologist, neuropsychiatrist, and writer—who is about to turn 88—went for a walk after breakfast without picking up his cell phone. Every minute that passes grows uneasy among the EDAI organization, a leading entity in neurodevelopment and child and adolescent mental health, which has invited the author to participate in the fourth edition of the international congress they organize. Cyrulnik has pioneered the use of the term resilience applied to psychology: he himself had to put that capacity to resist and cope with traumatic situations to the test from a very young age. Born in Bordeaux in 1937, the son of a Jewish family originally from Poland, Cyrulnik lost his parents – both deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp – and had to flee from the Nazis and hide for almost three years, until the Second World War ended and his life ceased.

After ten years away from the media, Josep Lobató reappeared on television this week to explain the consequences of the neurological condition that has left him unable to speak, his main work tool. The presenter, born in Esplugues de Llobregat in 1977, visited the program this Wednesday. And now Sonsoles to raise awareness of his struggle. He was accompanied at his speech by his best friend, David, who helped him express everything he'd been through.
