Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The autonomic nervous system, consisting of sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric divisions, is an integral part of the central and peripheral nervous systems and controls homeostasis, blood flow and responses to internal and external stimuli. Disorders of the autonomic nervous system—both common, such as POTS, neurocardiogenic syncope and orthostatic hypotension; and rare, such as multiple system atrophy, amyloid neuropathy and familial dysautonomia—have been an evolving area of research in basic and translational science as well as in clinical practice. More recently, the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic further underscored the need to elucidate the neurologic and autonomic mechanisms of post-infectious syndromes. To this end, the new frontier in neurology and autonomic disorders, as well as the mechanistic interplay between a wide range of neurologic conditions and autonomic dysfunctions, present an exciting opportunity for groundbreaking discoveries. With this Special Issue of Journal of Personalized Medicine, we aim to gather original research, reviews and short communications on a variety of topics involving neurologic and autonomic disorders and encompassing, but not limited to, the following subspecialties: autonomic disorders, headache medicine, neuromuscular and movement disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, neuroimmunology, pediatric neurology, neurocardiology, neuropathology, neuroimaging, neurologic and autonomic manifestations of systemic disease, and post-COVID-19 neurologic and autonomic manifestations. Studies and reviews of the potential biomarkers and identification of effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in patients with complex neurologic and autonomic disorders would be of particular interest to us in terms of advancing our understanding of these disorders, in addition to helping us expand our diagnostic and therapeutic capabilities in clinical practice.

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. Journal of Personalized Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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.
