The “Neurodegenerative Diseases” Section of the journal Brain Sciences (ISSN: 2076-3425) concerns itself with any pathological condition affecting neurons and supporting cells. These disorders represent a number of neurological conditions, e.g., Parkinson’s, exhibiting numerous pathological manifestations. The aim of this Section is to encourage and provide a forum for scientists to publish their experimental results and theoretical concepts in this important area of scientific as well as medical research. There is no restriction on the maximum length of papers submitted to and published by the journal. Mechanistically, electronic files reporting the extended details of computational, statistical, or experimental procedures, if unsuitable for presentation in the body of a manuscript, can be uploaded as supplementary material.

As all of the articles published in our journal are of open access format, you have free and unlimited access to the full texts. We welcome you to read our most highly cited papers published in 2023, listed below.
