Neurodegenerative Diseases
The International Journal of Translational Research on the Nervous System
Platform of the Neurodegenerative Research Community, Fast Peer Review
Neurodegenerative Diseases is a multidisciplinary journal dedicated to publishing and discussing advances in research on all aspects of neurodegenerative diseases. The journal focuses on Alzheimer disease, Parkinson disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Huntington disease but also welcomes articles on related neurological and psychiatric disorders. It has a particular emphasis on the interplay between vascular pathology, neuroinflammatory change, and the progression of neurodegenerative disease. In addition to clinical and basic science studies, brief methodological papers are welcome in the emerging fields of statistical genetics, clinical and preclinical neuroimaging, novel algorithms of biomedical image computing, and other approaches elucidating mechanisms of neurodegenerative disease. Neurodegenerative Diseases accepts high-quality papers in the form of brief reports, research articles, and review articles from a broad spectrum of scientific research areas ranging from neuroscience and genetics to clinical and preclinical neuroimaging and biomarker studies, molecular and cell biology, as well as pharmacology. All articles undergo rigorous scientific as well as statistical/bioinformatic peer review to ensure excellence. The journal provides fast peer review and provides opportunities for open-access publication.
