Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The journal publishes research on neurological disorders, with a focus on understanding their pathophysiology, identifying biomarkers, and evaluating diagnostic and prognostic implications. Studies investigate neurodegenerative diseases such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and multiple sclerosis, as well as conditions like cerebral amyloid angiopathy, idiopathic intracranial hypertension, and epilepsy. Research employs neuroimaging techniques (MRI, EEG, CT), fluid biomarkers (plasma, CSF), and proteomic analysis to explore disease mechanisms and progression.
