Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience

Aims & Scope

This interdisciplinary journal publishes papers relating to the plasticity and response of the nervous system to accidental or experimental injuries and their interventions, transplantation, neurodegenerative disorders and experimental strategies to improve regeneration or functional recovery and rehabilitation.

Experimental and clinical research papers adopting fresh conceptual approaches are encouraged.

The overriding criteria for publication are novelty, significant experimental or clinical relevance and interest to a multidisciplinary audience.

Experiments on un-anesthetized animals should conform with the standards for the use of laboratory animals as established by the Institute of Laboratory Animal Resources, US National Academy of Sciences.

Experiments in which paralytic agents are used must be justified.

Patient identity should be concealed.

All manuscripts are sent out for blind peer review to editorial board members or outside reviewers.

Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience is a member of Neuroscience Peer Review Consortium.
