Clinical Neurology (CLN)

Section Information

Clinical Neurology focuses on the diagnosis, management, and understanding of disorders affecting the central and peripheral nervous systems. It examines neurological function, disease mechanisms, neurodiagnostics, and therapeutic approaches for conditions impacting cognition, movement, sensation, behavior, and autonomic function.

Modern clinical neurology integrates advances in neuroimaging, electrophysiology, molecular genetics, neuroimmunology, and therapeutic innovations including pharmacologic, rehabilitative, and interventional strategies. Research in this field supports improved diagnosis, treatment optimization, and long-term management of neurological diseases.

This section publishes clinical studies, case reports, reviews, and translational research related to neurological disorders, diagnostic techniques, neurotherapeutics, patient outcomes, and emerging trends that advance clinical neurological practice.
