Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue focuses on the latest findings on novel biomarkers for the diagnosis and management of neurological diseases. The diagnosis of neurological disorders commonly relies on clinical assessment. However, symptoms may be subtle, especially at the early stages, and different pathologies may show overlapping symptoms. Moreover, different diseases with similar symptoms as well as distinct subtypes of the same disease may show differences in therapy response and outcome. In this context, biomarkers deriving from laboratory tests, multi-omics approaches, and neuroimaging techniques may be applied to the early detection of disease, differential diagnosis, and the prediction of disease evolution, collectively improving patient management. Overall, this Special Issue aims at proposing novel strategies for the diagnosis and management of neurological diseases to be applied in clinical practice.
