Pathology and Diagnosis of Neurological Disorders, 2nd Edition

Dear Colleagues,

Neurological disorders encompass a broad range of topics in medicine that deal with the study of diseases of the nervous system. This includes the study of the pathology, diagnosis and treatment of disorders that can be broadly classified into those affecting the central nervous system (CNS) and those that affect the peripheral nervous system (PNS). CNS disorders include conditions such as neurodegenerative diseases, brain tumors, infections and traumatic brain injury, while PNS disorders include peripheral neuropathy, myopathy and motor neuron disease.

This Special Issue of Diagnostics seeks to provide the global community with key reviews and original articles from disciplines spanning an array of topics that critically impact the field of neurological disorders, ranging from vascular stroke to malignant neoplasms. Articles in this issue will touch on broad topics, yet offer focused and specific details. Our goal is to address, amongst other aspects, the diagnostic techniques, fundamental mechanisms, molecular pathology and biomarkers, artificial intelligence and innovative treatment options in the field of neurological disorders. Experts in the areas of diagnostics, pathology and therapies will detail current standards, provide data from novel studies and guide future directions that may soon become critical to our understanding of these disorders. We look forward to and welcome your invaluable work for this issue.

Dr. James Yip
Guest Editor
