This Research Topic is part of the Methods and Applications in series.
This series aims to highlight the latest experimental techniques and methods used to investigate fundamental questions in cellular neuroscience research. We welcome articles that explore the advantages and limitations of experimental techniques. This Topic includes technologies and up-to-date methods which help advance the field of Cellular Neuropathology.
In all articles, it is expected that the utility of a method or protocol must be evident. We welcome contributions covering all aspects of cellular neuropathology. Submissions will be handled by the team of Topic Editors in the respective sections.
This Research Topic welcomes:
• Methods: Describing either new or existing methods that are significantly improved or adapted for specific purposes. These manuscripts may include primary (original) data.
• Protocols: Detailed descriptions, including pitfalls and troubleshooting, to benefit those who may evaluate or employ the techniques. The protocols must be proven to work.
• Perspective or General Commentaries on methods and protocols relevant for physiology research.
• Reviews and mini-reviews of topical methods and protocols highlighting the important future directions of the field.
For more information on the description and formats of the different article types please see

Methods and Applications in Cellular Neuropathology welcomes contributions on new or established methods and protocols that advance our understanding of the pathological mechanisms of cellular damage in different models of disease. This Research Topic aims to collect new evidence and perspectives in the fields of cellular neuropathology, including pathological modifications in animal models of disease, obtained either by genetic engineering, induced pharmacologically, or surgically and covers pathologies ranging from degenerative, ischemic, traumatic, inflammatory, and cancer. Reviews (systematic, narrative, or scoping), methods manuscripts, and original research works are welcome relating to neuropathological mechanisms in the developing and aging brain. The type of processes and mechanisms involved typically ranges from the molecular to subcellular, cellular, and microcircuit level.
