Neurology

Neurology is the branch of medicine studying the nervous system's structure, function, and disorders. Our Research Topics encompass neurodegenerative diseases, neurodevelopmental disorders, and clinical neurology, focusing on diagnostics, treatment, and neural mechanisms.

The following Research Topics are led by experts in their field and contribute to the scientific understanding of neurology. These Research topics are published in the peer-reviewed journal Frontiers in Neurology, as open access articles.

Research Topics

Frontiers' Research Topics are peer-reviewed article collections around cutting-edge research themes.
