Aims and Scopes

The Journal of Neuropathology and Experimental Neurology focuses on advancing the understanding of neuropathological processes and their implications in various neurological disorders. The journal emphasizes the integration of molecular, genetic, and clinical data to elucidate the complexities of brain diseases and to foster innovative diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
  1. Molecular Pathology of Neurological Disorders:
    The journal extensively covers the molecular and genetic underpinnings of various neuropathologies, including gliomas, neurodegenerative diseases, and other CNS tumors, providing insights into the mechanisms of disease progression and potential therapeutic targets.
  2. Clinical Neuropathology:
    A significant focus is placed on the clinical implications of neuropathological findings, including the correlation of histopathological features with clinical outcomes, diagnostic challenges, and treatment responses in various neurological conditions.
  3. Advanced Diagnostic Techniques:
    The journal promotes the use of sophisticated diagnostic methodologies, such as next-generation sequencing, advanced imaging techniques, and biomarker studies, to enhance the accuracy of diagnoses and to facilitate personalized medicine in neuropathology.
  4. Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration:
    Research on neuroinflammatory processes and their role in neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is a key area, highlighting the interplay between immune responses and neuronal health.
  5. Tumor Biology and Therapeutics:
    The journal investigates the biology of CNS tumors, their classification, and the development of novel therapeutic strategies, including the exploration of genetic fusions, epigenetic modifications, and targeted therapies.
The journal has identified several trending and emerging themes that reflect the current advancements and interests in the field of neuropathology, driven by technological innovations and a deeper understanding of disease mechanisms.
  1. Precision Medicine in Neuropathology:
    An emerging focus on precision medicine is evident, with increasing studies aimed at tailoring treatments based on the molecular and genetic profile of individual tumors and neurological disorders.
  2. Neuroinflammation Research:
    Research exploring the role of neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative diseases and CNS injuries is gaining traction, emphasizing the importance of immune responses in disease progression and potential therapeutic interventions.
  3. Integration of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning:
    There is a notable rise in the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques in neuropathology for image analysis, diagnostic accuracy, and predictive modeling, revolutionizing how neuropathological data is interpreted.
  4. Longitudinal Studies of Brain Health:
    Emerging studies focusing on the longitudinal assessment of brain health and neuropathological changes over time are increasingly popular, particularly in aging populations and in the context of neurodegenerative diseases.
  5. Advanced Biomarker Discovery:
    Research on the identification and validation of novel biomarkers for early diagnosis and prognosis of CNS disorders is on the rise, with a focus on molecular, genetic, and proteomic markers.

Declining or Waning

While the journal continues to thrive in several research areas, some themes have shown a decreasing frequency or focus over recent years, reflecting the evolving landscape of neuropathology research.
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
