Advances in Neurological Diseases: Pathogenesis, Diagnosis and Therapeutic Strategies (2nd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

Neurological diseases encompass a diverse array of conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. These disorders can present with a wide spectrum of symptoms, ranging from subtle cognitive changes to severe motor impairments, posing significant challenges to individuals and healthcare systems worldwide.

Comprehending the pathogenesis of neurological diseases is essential for developing effective treatments and preventive strategies. Advances in neuroimaging and biomarker discovery have significantly improved the efficiency and accuracy of diagnosing these diseases, and insights into their underlying mechanisms have proven pivotal for devising therapeutic strategies. The therapeutic strategies discussed in this Special Issue span a broad range of interventions, from pharmacological treatments that target specific pathological pathways to innovative gene- and cell-based therapies, as well as non-pharmacological treatments.

We invite researchers to submit research articles or review papers on topics including, but not limited to, the following: (1) molecular and cellular mechanisms; (2) diagnostic tools, biomarkers, and imaging techniques; and (3) clinical and interventional studies, including pharmacological and regenerative medicine approaches, as well as neurorehabilitation methods, targeting both motor and extra-motor deficits.

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

Dr. Foteini Christidi
Guest Editor
