Frontiers in Neurology is a multidisciplinary journal that addresses all areas of neurology to better understand, treat, and prevent neurological disorders. It is indexed in PubMed Central (PMC), Scopus and the DOAJ.

Led by Field Chief Editor Prof Irene Litvan (University of California, San Diego, USA), Frontiers in Neurology welcomes submissions that explore the diagnosis, nature, causes, treatment, and public health aspects of neurological disorders.

The journal covers a wide spectrum of basic, translational, and clinical research that help improve patient care, including but not limited to:

artificial intelligence in neurology
applied neuroimaging
autonomic disorders
cognitive behavioural neurology
dementia and neurodegenerative diseases
diagnostic and forensic neuropathology
endovascular and interventional neurology
epilepsy
experimental therapeutics
headache and neurogenic pain
movement disorders
multiple sclerosis and neuroimmunology
neuro-oncology and neurosurgical oncology
neuro-ophthalmology
neuro-otology
neurocritical and neurohospitalist care
neuroepidemiology
neurogenetics
neuroinfectious diseases
neurological biomarkers
neuromuscular disorders and peripheral neuropathies
neurorehabilitation
neurotechnology
neurotrauma
pediatric neurology
sleep disorders
stroke.

In particular, the journal welcomes submissions which support and advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 3: good health and well-being.

Manuscripts that focus solely on surgical techniques, clinical trials, or case reports are not suitable for publication in this journal. Studies that do not provide significant insight into the neurological basis of disease or disorder, or those that do not contribute to the understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of neurology, diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders are not appropriate for this journal.

Frontiers in Neurology is committed to advancing developments in the field of neurology by communicating scientific knowledge to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide, to enable the scientific breakthroughs of the future.
