Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurodegenerative disorders are a major concern for clinicians and especially neurologists. Our understanding of the mechanisms, pathophysiology, and therapeutic potential of these diseases is steadily increasing. This Special Issue focuses on tools that can be implemented in new diagnostic and therapeutic, including artificial intelligence, novel imaging methods, and biomarkers. The Special Issue will cover topics such as Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, Lewy body dementia, and Huntington’s disease, as well as topics such as immunosenescence, i.e., the abnormal activation or dysfunction of the immune system as people age, and inflammaging, i.e., a chronic, low-grade inflammatory state associated with immunosenescence, which is thought to be associated with neurodegenerative disorders. The Special Issue aims to integrate current knowledge on the clinical management of patients with degenerative diseases.
