NEUROREHABILITATION AND NEURAL REPAIR

Neurorehabilitation & Neural Repair offers neurologists, neurosurgeons, physiatrists, rehabilitation nurses, discharge planners, social workers, basic scientists working in neural regeneration and plasticity, and physical, occupational, and speech therapists innovative and reliable reports relevant to functional recovery from neural injury and long term neurologic care. The journal's unique focus is evidence-based basic and clinical practice and research. NNR deals with the management and fundamental mechanisms of functional recovery from conditions such as stroke, multiple sclerosis, cerebral palsy, Parkinson’s disease and other movement disorders, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, traumatic and acquired brain injuries and related secondary conditions, spinal cord injuries, and peripheral nerve injuries. Some of the key topics covered in recent issues include cortical remodeling after stroke, traumatic brain injury or spinal cord injury studied by transcranial magnetic stimulation and functional magnetic resonance imaging, mechanisms of sprouting and regeneration, development of cell lines for transplantation and trophic factor replacement strategies to promote functional recovery in human patients, multidisciplinary management of neurologic disease, bioengineering and assistive devices used in the management of neurologic impairment or pain syndromes, pharmacological management of multiple sclerosis, pharmacology of motor recovery, cognitive rehabilitation, and design of randomized multicenter trials in neurorehabilitation. The journal carries articles designed to appeal to a variety of audiences: clinical practice, research, brief communications, case reports, reviews, and media reviews.
