Declining or Waning
- Traditional Histopathological Techniques:
There appears to be a waning interest in purely traditional histopathological methods, as research increasingly emphasizes molecular and genetic analyses over conventional approaches to diagnosis and classification of CNS disorders. - Generalized Studies on Neurodegeneration:
Broader, less specific studies on neurodegeneration are becoming less common as the field shifts towards targeted investigations focusing on specific mechanisms, pathways, and biomarkers associated with particular diseases. - Non-Molecular Approaches to CNS Tumors:
Research focusing primarily on non-molecular aspects of CNS tumors, such as purely morphological studies without genetic or molecular context, is declining as the field moves towards integrative approaches that combine histological and molecular data.
