Aims & Scope

Child's Nervous System is dedicated to publishing all aspects of pediatric neurosurgery. Established in 1972 as Child's Brain, it has since expanded its scope and changed its name to Child's Nervous System. Covers pediatric development and growth, degenerative disorders, hereditary diseases, neurology, neuro-oncology, neurophysiology, and trauma. Facilitates the publication of original manuscripts, brief communications, and case reports, with a preference for content that encourages discussion or provides updates on rare subjects. Encourages authors to submit electronic multimedia files and supplementary files for online publication alongside their articles.
