Journal Guide

Nature Reviews' clinical content is written by internationally renowned clinical academics and researchers and targeted towards readers in the medical sciences, from postgraduate level upwards. While intended to be read by practicing doctors, researchers and academics within a specialty, we aim to make all our articles accessible to readers working in any medical discipline.In-depth Reviews present authoritative, up-to-date information on a topic, placing it in the context of a field's history and development. Topical discussion and opinions are proffered in Perspectives and News & Views articles, and in the Research Highlights section we filter primary research from a range of specialty and general medical journals.Subjects covered * Aging and dementia * Brain imaging * Epilepsy * Genetics * Headache * Infectious disease * Injury, repair and rehabilitation * Movement disorders * Neural tube defects * Neurodegenerative disease * Neuroimmunology and neuroinflammation * Neurometabolic disorders * Neuromuscular disease * Neurooncology * Neuropsychiatric disorders * Neurosurgery * Public health * Ethics * Pain * Peripheral neuropathies * Sensory systems * Sleep * Spongiform encephalopathies * Stroke * White matter disease (including demyelinating and dysmyelinating disorders).

NeuroMolecular Medicine presents cutting-edge research articles and critical reviews on the molecular and biochemical basis of neurological disorders. Coverage ranges from genetic analyses of human populations to animal and cell culture models of neurological disorders, and includes findings concerning the identification of genetic aberrancies and their pathogenic mechanisms at the molecular and cellular levels. Coverage includes experimental analyses of molecular cascades involved in the development and adult plasticity of the nervous system, in neurological dysfunction, and in neuronal degeneration and repair. NeuroMolecular Medicine encompasses basic research in molecular genetics, signal transduction, plasticity, and cell death. The journal gives special attention to synthetic research and reviews that aim to bridge genetic aberrancies with cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurological pathogenesis.
