Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Tools for the diagnosis of neurological disease used in current clinical practice, such as cognitive psychometric tests, clinical scores and morphological/structural examinations of the brain, do not always unequivocally discriminate early-stage pathological scenarios from normal aging and do not have the same accuracy as the analysis of hierarchically more complex aspects such as acquired brain connectivity by neuroimaging techniques.
The identification of sensitive instrumental markers for neurological disease is a goal of the greatest importance.
This Special Issue is a timely collection of papers that review and propose new techniques to detect and predict neurological disease (mild cognitive impairment (MCI), Alzheimer disease (AD), disorders of consciousness (DOCs)) and to evaluate the efficacy of therapies. We aim to discuss the key options for neurological diseases and state-of-the-art treatment. Moreover, there is still the urgent need to find measures to prevent neurons from injury or degeneration, and ideally to keep neuronal and glial damage under the threshold of symptom manifestation.
We will further discuss the most promising and intriguing future treatment options with a focus on methodology and neurorehabilitation strategies.
Dr. Lilla Bonanno
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
