The Section “Neuromuscular and Movement Disorders” of Brain Sciences (ISSN: 2076-3425) aims to publish cutting-edge original research and critical reviews on basic science, translational research and clinical medicine that will substantially move our understanding on these disorders forward and improve the treatment of neuromuscular disease and movement disorders. The Section is international and multidisciplinary and aims to promote progress in epidemiology, etiology, genetics, and molecular and cellular biology using in vitro and in vivo models aiming to shed light on pathophysiology and pathogenesis, neuroimaging (using MRI, SPECT, PET, etc.) and other biomarkers, neuropsychology, neurophysiology, pharmacology, diagnosis, and treatment of these disorders, including neuromodulation.
