Clinical Anatomy and Diagnosis of Peripheral Nervous System

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce an interesting Special Issue. This Special Issue is dedicated to the peripheral nervous system, a major division of the nervous system composed of the cranial and spinal nerves and the autonomic nervous system that mediates the relationship between the environment and the human body. The targeted articles include but are not limited to reviews and original papers on anatomical variations of cranial nerves, autonomic ganglia, and neural circuits. Anatomical studies and reviews using modern imaging techniques, such as MRI, are encouraged. Nevertheless, reports of anatomical variations are extremely useful for readers to understand the versatility of signal transmission in the peripheral nervous system. Studies of microscopic anatomy, i.e., by using certain neural markers, could be an excellent contribution to this Special Issue. Anatomical models and reviews supporting the relevant physiological and physiopathological processes could demonstrate how the shape determines the function. Improving this specific knowledge of the peripheral nervous system could also be accomplished by constructive criticism of older studies that do not fit the modern, updated anatomical and clinical viewpoints.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diagnostics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
