From the Editors-in-Chief

"The definition of the molecular and cellular background as well as pathogenetic pathways of neurological and psychiatric disorders is a major challenge of modern medicine. Neuropathology moves quickly from classical studies on histological characteristics of neurodegenerative, neurodevelopmental and mental disorders to the integration of complex models that include proteomics, transcriptomics and single cell analyses coupled with ad hoc behavioral investigations in animal models and humans. Acta Neuropathologica Communications provides a unique platform for rapidly published reports that involve clinical and experimental neuropathology. The broad scope of the journal covers clinical investigations in human samples, animal and in vitro studies on the molecular phenotypes but also reports on the complex interplay between environmental stressors, epigenetic regulation and cellular expression in neuropsychiatric diseases. Excellent papers that provide key contributions on the pathogenesis of brain pathologies are warmly welcome. We guarantee high quality reviews and fast publication that makes it possible to be at the cutting edge of scientific efforts in this challenging field. I look forward to receive your work!"

Panteleimon Giannakopoulos, co-Editor-in-Chief, ANC

"As an original member of the ANC editorial board, it has been a pleasure to witness the growth and maturation of this journal first hand.  ANC now occupies a well-defined niche for the rapid publication of high-quality work advancing the broad spectrum of neuropathology and its allied sciences. I look forward to receiving and evaluating your compelling manuscripts in the months and years ahead." 

Jason T. Huse, co-Editor-in-Chief, ANC
