Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Brain Pathology focuses on the neuropathological features of neurological diseases and disorders. Recent articles investigate the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, multiple system atrophy, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The journal also covers the pathology of brain tumors, including glioblastoma and medulloblastoma, and the neurological consequences of infections like COVID-19. Research includes the analysis of postmortem brain tissue, cerebrospinal fluid, and neuroimaging to understand disease progression and identify biomarkers.
