Pediatric Neurology & Neurodevelopmental Disorders
A section of Children (ISSN 2227-9067).
Section Information
The Pediatric Neurology & Neurodevelopmental Disorders Section accepts articles related to the diagnosis and treatment of child and adolescent neurological disorders. Articles may focus on diagnosis, therapy, supportive care, long-term outcome, epidemiology and disease prevention, and the economic impact of these diseases (both on the patient and the health care system). Clinical trials and observational studies (cohort studies, case-control studies) are preferred, but systematic reviews/meta-analyses are also welcome as long as they are methodologically rigorous. Case reports will only be considered if they report on a novel finding with important clinical implications.
