Aims & Scope

The Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology (ACTN) publishes articles of broad interest with potential for high impact in understanding the mechanisms and treatment of diseases of the human nervous system.

All areas of clinical and basic neuroscience, including new technologies, cellular and molecular neurobiology, population sciences, and studies of behavior, addiction, and psychiatric diseases are of interest to the journal.

ACTN is particularly interested in clinical trials and other large-scale studies that inform the practice of medicine.

Trials reporting negative data will be considered.

The scope of ACTN also includes topics of particular significance in neurologic education as well as other topics of interest to the clinical neuroscience community.

In addition to manuscripts from established investigators, ACTN will welcome scholarly work, points-of-view, and case studies from residents, fellows and medical students.
