New Clinical Insights into Pediatric Neurology

Dear Colleagues,

We have seen significant progress in pediatric neurology in recent years. The most remarkable discoveries have been those associated with the developments in genetics. Spinal muscular atrophy is no longer a fatal disease; neonatal screening and early treatment have allowed for normal motor development in this so-far devastating disease. The introduction of new-generation sequencing for rare disorders has resulted in greater diagnostic abilities and the identification of new clinical phenotypes. Pediatric neurology has also achieved a new level of therapeutic potential. After a recent years-long period of stagnation in the development of new antiepileptic drugs, several new molecules have arrived on the market with proven efficacy. More specific treatments with antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs) are becoming a promising therapeutic option in developmental epileptic encephalopathies, neurocutaneous disorders, and rare diseases.

In this Special Issue, we invite authors to submit papers on the clinical advances in different fields of pediatric neurology, in terms of both diagnosis and treatment.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
