Aims & Scope

The JMD is dedicated to publishing translational and clinical studies for advancing knowledge in the field of movement disorders and neurodegenerative disorders that will influence clinical neurology and/or neuroscience. Disorders of interest include but are not limited to Parkinson’s disease, atypical Parkinsonian disorders and other movement disorders, as well as neurodegenerative and neurogenetic disorders involving difficulties with motor control. JMD has a broad international perspective, thus encouraging submissions from countries around the world that address epidemiology, genetics/genomics, diagnosis, treatment, and the prognosis of movement disorders. We have a particular interest in studies on Parkinson's disease or other movement disorders in Asian-Oceanian populations. These articles will broaden our understanding of the above in diverse ethnic and cultural settings. All article formats are welcome, e.g., original articles of therapeutic trials and other experimental or observational studies, case reports, and review articles. JMD also welcomes relevant articles that address bioinformatics or neuro-imaging analysis.
