Trending and Emerging
- Impact of COVID-19 on Neurological Health:
Increased focus on the psychological and neurological impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, including studies on burnout, mental health, and cognitive impairments related to the virus. - Multimodal Approaches to Treatment:
Growing interest in interventions that combine various treatment modalities, such as acupuncture, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and pharmacological treatments, to address complex neurological issues. - Neuroinformatics and AI Applications:
The rise of artificial intelligence and machine learning in analyzing neurological data, improving diagnosis, and personalizing treatment plans is becoming a significant area of interest. - Exploration of Gut-Brain Axis:
Emerging research on the gut-brain connection, particularly how gut microbiota influences neurological health and behavior, is gaining traction and relevance. - Behavioral Interventions for Pediatric Populations:
A noticeable increase in studies focusing on behavioral therapies and interventions aimed at children with neurological disorders, particularly ADHD and autism spectrum disorders.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacological Treatments:
Research that primarily focuses on traditional pharmacological approaches for managing neurological disorders appears to be waning, as there is a growing emphasis on holistic and integrative treatment methods. - Single-Disease Focus Studies:
The journal has seen a decline in studies that focus solely on individual diseases without considering comorbidities or overlapping psychological factors, reflecting a broader interest in multifaceted approaches to treatment. - Basic Animal Models:
While animal studies remain important, there is a noticeable reduction in basic animal model research that does not translate into human applications, as more emphasis is placed on translational research that connects basic science with clinical outcomes. - Generalized Neuropsychological Testing:
The prevalence of studies using generalized neuropsychological assessments without specific contextual relevance is decreasing, as there is a shift towards more targeted and condition-specific evaluations.
