Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue. It will focus on recent developments in diagnostic methods for prevalent neurological conditions such as ischemic stroke, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, and primary headache syndromes.
With the growing burden of neurological diseases—which account for a significant proportion of disability and lost patient years worldwide—there is an urgent need to improve diagnostic accuracy, accessibility, and timeliness. This Special Issue aims to gather high-quality original research, reviews, short communications, and interesting images that highlight innovative diagnostic tools, imaging techniques, biomarker studies, and integrative diagnostic and therapeutic strategies in clinical neurology.
We welcome submissions that bridge clinical practice and diagnostic innovation, offering insights that can be directly translated into improved patient care.
