Die Nervenheilkunde ist eine der bekanntesten Fort- und Weiterbildungszeitschriften für Neurologen, Psychiater und Nervenärzte. Da bei psychischen Störungen Hausärzte fast immer die ersten Ansprechpartner sind und die Weichenstellung für eine kompetente fachärztliche Behandlung in ihren Händen liegt, wendet sich die Nervenheilkunde zugleich an Primärärzte. Ziel ist neben der Weitergabe aktueller wissenschaftlicher Erkenntnisse, praxistaugliche Informationen zu vermitteln, die zur besseren Versorgung von Patienten mit neurologischen und psychiatrischen Störungen beitragen. Folgerichtig können Leser der Nervenheilkunde CME-Punkte sammeln. Regelmäßig werden Empfehlungen oder Leitlinien der Deutschen Migräne- und Kopfschmerzgesellschaft sowie der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Muskelkranke veröffentlicht.

Neural Plasticity is an international, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the publication of articles related to all aspects of neural plasticity, with special emphasis on its functional significance as reflected in behavior and in psychopathology. Neural Plasticity publishes research and review articles from the entire range of relevant disciplines, including basic neuroscience, behavioral neuroscience, cognitive neuroscience, biological psychology, and biological psychiatry. The most recent Impact Factor for Neural Plasticity is 2.000 according to 2011 Journal Citation Reports released by Thomson Reuters (ISI) in 2012.

Published monthly from January 2010, Neuro-Oncology is the official journal of the Society for Neuro-Oncology.

Neuro-Ophthalmology publishes original papers on diagnostic methods in neuro-ophthalmology such as perimetry, neuro-imaging and electro-physiology; on the visual system such as the retina, ocular motor system and the pupil; on neuro-ophthalmic aspects of the orbit; and on related fields such as migraine and ocular manifestations of neurological diseases.The following sections are included in the journal:* Editorial (will usually be commissioned)*Review (may be commissioned or submitted)*Comment (shorter than a full review and may cover a single issue and may be more speculative, may be commissioned or submitted)*Original Paper and Short Report (in the fields of Basic Science, Clinical Science and History of Neuro-Ophthalmology)*Case Report and Case Series (which must contribute original information to the literature)*Photoessay (the clinical condition described need not be original, the criterion is that the image must be of high quality and provide an illustration that is of a high educational value)*Letters to the Editor (usually commenting on articles published in the journal)*Book Reviews (usually commissioned, but suggestions are welcomed)*Selected Abstracts (Neuro-Ophthalmic literature review, commissioned from our team of reviewers)*Society Tidings (commissioned or submitted).

The new online only, open access, peer reviewed journal in clinical neuroimaging.NeuroImage: Clinical, a Journal of Diseases affecting the Nervous System, provides a vehicle for communicating important advances in the study of abnormal structure-function relationships of the human nervous system based on imaging.The focus of NeuroImage: Clinical is on the characterization of changes to the brain at a systems level of analysis secondary to disease. The main criterion for judging papers is the extent of scientific advancement in the understanding of the pathophysiologic mechanisms of disease, in identification of functional models that link clinical signs and symptoms with brain function and in the creation of image based tools applicable to a broad range of clinical needs including diagnosis, monitoring of disease and tracking of therapeutic response. Papers dealing with structure and function at the microscopic level will also be considered if they reveal mechanisms that inform across multiple levels and can be translated to human disease.The journal welcomes original research articles as well as papers on innovative methods, models, databases, theory or conceptual positions provided that they involve imaging approaches and demonstrate significant new opportunities for understanding clinical problems.

Neurocase is a rapid response journal of both adult and child case studies in neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology. Four types of manuscript are considered for publication: single case investigations that bear directly on issues of relevance to theoretical issues or brain-behavior relationships; group studies of subjects with brain dysfunction that address issues relevant to the understanding of human cognition; reviews of important topics in the domains of neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry and behavioral neurology; and brief reports (up to 2500 words) that replicate previous reports dealing with issues of considerable significance. Of particular interest are investigations that include precise anatomical localization of lesions or neural activity via imaging or other techniques. Topic reviews are included in most issues. Peer Review IntegrityAll published research articles in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review, based on initial editor screening and anonymous refereeing by independent expert referees.
