Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce an interesting Special Issue dedicated to the peripheral nervous system, a major division of the nervous system composed of the cranial and spinal nerves, and the autonomic nervous system, which mediates the relationship between the environment and the human body. We welcome reviews and original papers on anatomical variations in cranial nerves, autonomic ganglia, and neural circuits. Anatomical studies and reviews that use modern imaging techniques, such as MRI, are also encouraged. Reports of anatomical variations are extremely useful for readers to understand the versatility of signal transmission in the peripheral nervous system. Studies of microscopic anatomy, i.e., using certain neural markers, presents an excellent potential contribution to this Special Issue. Anatomical models and reviews exploring relevant physiological and physiopathological processes could demonstrate how shape determines function. Deepening this specific knowledge of the peripheral nervous system could also be accomplished through constructive criticisms of older studies that deviate from the modern, updated anatomical and clinical viewpoints.
Dr. Alexandra Diana Vrapciu
