Editorial

All the suggestions of the reviewers have made it necessary to increase the number of citations and help us to increase the impact factor of the journal 2.1. We have gone from 1000 to 2000 views, and also we have published several enlightening articles. The Journal of Neurological Disorders is rapidly progressing. Being in the field of Neurological Sciences (Neurosciences, Neurology, neurosurgery, Psychiatry) we try to publish papers of excellent quality. Until now this aim was reached and we are looking forward to keep track on our achievements. The field of Neuroscience is progressing rapidly. In the field of Neurosurgery, where I come from, and especially in vascular neurosurgery, the last years were very prosperous. Development of new imaging methods help us understand the pathophysiology of aneurysm development and the risk of rupture. Such techniques are i.e. the “black blood MRI”, which shows contrast enhancement of aneurysm wall as a sign of aneurysm instability. Computational fluid dynamics, flow analyses and new surgical and endovascular techniques have been published in great succession through the last 2 decades. The need to publish our scientific results plays a crucial role in understanding pathologies of this very complex system of neurons and synapses. We welcome you to keep supporting our efforts to publish manuscripts of highest quality which could only be done with your help.
