About this Research Topic
This Research Topic aims to broaden our understanding of infection in the developing central nervous system, at an organic level to unravel pathophysiology and pathogenesis, a clinical level to elucidate acute and long-term treatment and monitoring strategies that may improve outcome, and a public health level to address disease burden and impact.
We welcome articles from a range of basic and clinical sciences, including cellular neuroscience, neurochemistry, immunology, genetics, -omics, biomarkers, pharmacology, neurosurgery, neurology, radiology, public health, epidemiology, neurodevelopment and rehabilitation. Human and mechanistic data are eligible. Review articles, original data and expert opinions are all encouraged. We welcome contributions from all locations, and particularly encourage those from low and middle income countries.
