Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neurological diseases. Studies investigate genetic and environmental factors contributing to conditions such as major depressive disorder, autism spectrum disorder, epilepsy, neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Niemann-Pick disease), and peripheral neuropathies. Research also explores brain function, neuroinflammation, and the impact of metabolic and vascular factors on neurological health.
