Challenges and Perspectives of Neurological Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

Neurological disorders are increasingly recognized as one of the most prevalent disorders worldwide, with a high burden on patients, families, and society as a whole. Neurological disorders can affect the brain, spinal cord, and other nerves throughout the body. The results can be bothersome or even detrimentally devastating. There are many different etiologies per se. Neurological disorders refer not only to common neurodegenerative diseases, such as neurovascular disorders, neuro-oncological diseases, neuroinflammation, and infection, as well as traumatic brain/spinal cord injuries, but also to a category of other less common pathogeneses.

The burden of neurological disorders has increased in the past and is likely to increase in the future, due to the aging population worldwide, thus placing an increasing demand on already overstretched resources and services for patients with neurological disorders. There is an urgent need to improve the prevention and management of neurological disorders across the globe.

The detection and targeting of neuronal damage involves a spectrum of multifaceted technologies. We encourage all basic and clinical contributions pertaining to neurological disorders, without restrictions on the type of article. The findings of this topic will be useful to advance healthcare planning and resource allocation, to prevent and reduce the burden of neurological disorders.
