Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurological disorders represent a significant global health challenge that impacted nearly 3.4 billion people in 2021 and contribute significantly to disability and mortality. They encompass a wide range of conditions—including neurodegenerative, demyelinating, autoimmune, infectious, vascular, neuromuscular, and developmental disorders—that often present with overlapping symptoms, making timely and accurate diagnosis essential.
Neurological diagnosis is often complex and challenging due to the wide variety of symptoms and overlapping clinical presentations, which require assessments of anatomical and physiological functions and functional capacity.
This Special Issue welcomes original research, reviews, and case studies focusing on but not limited to the following topics:
- Diagnostic precision: The integration of new and advanced assessment tools, such as imaging modalities and biomarkers, into clinical routine;
- Differential diagnosis: Methods to distinguish between overlapping syndromes and to improve clinical decision-making;
- Therapeutic approaches: Pharmacological, immunomodulatory, interventional, and multidisciplinary strategies tailored to address patient-specific needs, including innovative techniques, such as gene and RNA therapies, neuro and immunomodulation.
We welcome articles that aim to improve patients' outcomes through strategies that promote personalised and innovative care models.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
