NEUROIMMUNOMODULATION
Scope & Guideline
Charting New Frontiers in Neuroimmunomodulation
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Neuroimmunology and Neuroinflammation:
The core focus of the journal is on the relationship between the immune system and the nervous system, particularly how neuroinflammatory processes affect neurological diseases. - Pain and Inflammatory Responses:
Research on the mechanisms of pain and inflammation, including the role of cytokines and the sympathetic nervous system, is a significant area of interest. - Psychoneuroimmunology:
The intersection of psychological factors and immune function is explored, particularly how stress and psychological states can influence neuroinflammatory responses. - Clinical and Experimental Studies:
Publications include both clinical studies in human populations and experimental studies using animal models to investigate neuroimmune interactions. - Therapeutic Approaches:
The journal emphasizes novel therapeutic strategies aimed at modulating neuroinflammation and related disorders, including pharmacological interventions and complementary therapies.
Trending and Emerging
- Impact of COVID-19 on Neuroinflammation:
Research exploring the neuroimmune consequences of COVID-19, including long-term neuropsychiatric effects and immune-endocrine changes, has surged, highlighting the pandemic's influence on neuroimmunological research. - Sympathetic Nervous System Modulation:
There is a growing interest in the role of the sympathetic nervous system in mediating neuroinflammation and pain, with studies investigating its therapeutic modulation. - Psychoneuroimmunology and Mental Health:
An increased focus on the interplay between mental health, inflammation, and immune responses, particularly in conditions like depression and anxiety, reflects a trending interest in holistic approaches to neuroimmunology. - Innovative Therapeutic Strategies:
Emerging research on novel therapeutic interventions, including nutritional and lifestyle modifications, as well as the use of non-invasive techniques like vagus nerve stimulation, indicates a shift towards integrative treatment approaches. - MicroRNA and Exosomal Research:
The exploration of microRNAs and exosomes in the context of neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases is becoming more prominent, suggesting a trend towards utilizing molecular biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Autoimmune Disorders:
Research focused on classic autoimmune disorders such as multiple sclerosis has seen a decrease, possibly due to a broader focus on neuroinflammatory mechanisms rather than specific diseases. - Basic Mechanistic Studies:
There appears to be a waning interest in purely mechanistic studies without translational implications, as the journal increasingly favors studies with direct clinical relevance. - Role of Specific Cytokines:
While cytokines remain a key area, studies focusing on isolated cytokine effects without a broader context of neuroinflammation or clinical implications are appearing less frequently.
