The Annals of Indian Academy of Neurology-AIAN (ISSN 0972-2327) is the official journal of the Indian Academy of Neurology. Our aim is to serve as a medium for dissemination of information and contribute to the advancement of knowledge in neurosciences. The journal is published Quarterly. We accept for publication, manuscripts that were not published earlier or are under simultaneous consideration by another journal. The publication of the material as an abstract of conference proceedings is exempted. We follow the broad guidelines for good publications practice brought out by the Committee On Publication Ethics (COPE) and recommendations of World Association of Medical Editors (WAME). The Editorial Board shall scrutinize each article submitted to the journal and shall submit it to peer review.

Annals of Neurology 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. Topics covered include: • ALS • Ataxia • Atrophy • Autism • Basic Neuroscience • Brain Development and Child Neurology • Demyelinating Diseases • Epilepsy • Genetics • Lysosomal Storage Disease • Mitochondrial Dysfunction • Molecular Medicine • Movement Disorders • Multiple Sclerosis • Myopathy • Neurodegenerative Diseases (including Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Motor Neuron Disease, and Dementia) • Neuroimmunology • Pain • Sleep Disorders • Seizures • Stroke • Translational Research, and more… Three new sections, NerveCenter, Discoveries in Neuroscience, and Open Forum and one new feature, Medical Hypotheses debuted in Annals of Neurology in 2006. NerveCenter is a lively and topical forum covering a wide variety of timely and important issues in the clinical neurosciences of interest to the clinical and academic audiences of Annals. Topics featured include: • NIH or government news • Changes in academic neurology around the country • New medically important discoveries • Biographies • Interviews • Coverage of educational issues Discoveries in Neuroscience highlights recent and important discoveries in basic neuroscience, and the implications of these findings for the Annals readership. The section will provide a brief synopsis of important publications selected by the editors from the general neuroscience literature. Advances in the understanding of genes, molecules, pathways, and systems that control fundamental nervous system functions will be highlighted, with an emphasis on those that are particularly significant, novel, or relevant to human disease. Open Forum provides a home for letters that respond to published articles in Annals (or elsewhere). Medical Hypotheses, the new feature, provides a forum for novel hypotheses. The editors encourage authors who wish to submit reviews or hypotheses to contact the editorial office in advance of submission. Reviews, currently published as Neurological Progress, have been extremely well received by the readership in the past. The editors plan to increase the number of Neurological Progress articles by striving for at least one overview article of this type each month.

Aphasiology is concerned with all aspects of language impairment and disability and related disorders resulting from brain damage. It provides a forum for the exchange of knowledge and the dissemination of current research and expertise in all aspects of aphasia and related topics, from all disciplinary perspectives. Aphasiology includes papers on clinical, psychological, linguistic, social and neurological perspectives of aphasia. Studies using a wide range of empirical methods, including experimental, clinical and single case studies, surveys and physical investigations are published in addition to regular features including major reviews, clinical fora, case studies, and book reviews.

Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria will provide clinical neurologists and other neuroscientists with sigfnificant peer-reviewed articles, editorials, reviews and clinical reports to improve neurological practice, education, clinical research, professional expertise and to promote the international visibility of the Brazilian neurology.

The aim of the Journal is to stimulate, publish and disseminate original investigations on the autonomic nervous system: this includes the innervation of blood vessels and viscera, autonomic ganglia, efferent and afferent autonomic pathways, and autonomic nuclei and pathways in the central nervous system.The Editors will consider papers that deal with any aspect of the autonomic nervous system, including structure, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, development, evolution, ageing, behavioural aspects, integrative role and influence on emotional and physical states of the body. Interdisciplinary studies will be encouraged. Studies dealing with human pathology will be also welcome.The main types of contribution are full-length articles. These should be as concise as possible and should describe original research that materially advances knowledge of the autonomic nervous system.Short communications, book reviews and short review articles will be considered for publication.
