Clinical Neurophysiology Journal

Scope of the Journal

• Clinical Neurophysiology is dedicated to publishing scholarly reports on the pathophysiology underlying diseases of the peripheral and central nervous system of humans. Reports on clinical trials that use neurophysiological measures as endpoints are encouraged, as are manuscripts on integrated neuroimaging of peripheral and central nervous function including, but not limited to, functional MRI, brain mapping, MEG, EEG, PET, ultrasound, and other neuroimaging modalities. Studies on normal human neurophysiology are welcome, if they link to disease or clinical applications. Studies on animals and technical reports must have clear applicability to human disease. Case reports may be considered (exclusively as Letters-to-the-Editor), if implying substantial advancement of knowledge. 
  
  
• Clinical Neurophysiology covers epilepsy, developmental clinical neurophysiology, psychophysiology and psychopathology, motor control and movement disorders, somatosensory disorders including pain, motor neuron diseases, neuromuscular diseases, neuropathies, sleep and disorders of consciousness, auditory and vestibular disorders, aging, Alzheimer’s disease, other dementias, other psychiatric disorders, autonomic disorders, neural plasticity and recovery, intraoperative and ICU monitoring, and therapeutic clinical neurophysiology including non-invasive and invasive brain stimulation. However the journal is not a methodological journal, and studies reporting normative data collected with routine neurophysiological procedures are of low priority.
  
  
• Reviews of topical areas from recognized experts are normally invited by the Editor-in-Chief, on the recommendations of the Associate Editors and Editorial Board, and are subject to full peer review, but individual authors may also provide proposals for authoritative reviews to the Editor-in-Chief (please send to ulf.ziemann@uni-tuebingen.de).
  
  
• The Senior Editors now will consider Case Reports only as Letters. They will however be fully peer-reviewed, as will letters commenting on published papers.
