We are proud to introduce you to the inaugural issue of Advanced Neurology, a new journal
published by AccScience Publishing (Singapore) Pte. Ltd. Advanced Neurology is a peer-
reviewed and open-access journal that aims to publish and disseminate novel research on
basic, clinical, and translational medicine related to neurological diseases. The journal’s
mission is to advance our understanding of the diseases related to the nervous system
and to provide a platform to showcase the latest findings in fundamental research and
clinical research as well as present new ideas that might contribute to the improvement
of neurological clinical practice. The target audience of Advanced Neurology includes
physicians, epidemiologists and neuroscientists working in the disciplines of neurology,
neurosurgery, neuroimaging, neurointervention, neuropsychology, and so on.
