Abstract
In recent years, we have seen a shift towards defining sporadic neurodegenerative diseases as a biological continuum. Here, we discuss the risks associated with this shift, emphasize the importance of maintaining a strong connection between disease definitions and subsequent clinical outcomes, and suggest clinicobiological frameworks to disentangle multiple discrete nosological entities.
期刊介绍:
Nature Reviews Neurology aims to be the premier source of reviews and commentaries for the scientific and clinical communities we serve. We want to provide an unparalleled service to authors, referees, and readers, and we work hard to maximize the usefulness and impact of each article. The journal publishes Research Highlights, Comments, News & Views, Reviews, Consensus Statements, and Perspectives relevant to researchers and clinicians working in the field of neurology. Our broad scope ensures that the work we publish reaches the widest possible audience. Our articles are authoritative, accessible, and enhanced with clearly understandable figures, tables, and other display items. This page gives more detail about the aims and scope of the journal.
