Abstract
The number of women in the field of neurosurgery has been steadily increasing over the past 20 years. However, there still exists a significant gender disparity worldwide, with men predominantly occupying this profession. Recognizing and highlighting the contributions of female pioneers in neurosurgery is crucial to prevent these talented women from being overlooked. One notable figure in this regard is Anna Galstyan, the first female Armenian neurosurgeon. Born in Abovyan, Armenia in 1976, she graduated from Yerevan's medical school in 1998 and further specialized in oncological, pediatric, and endoscopic neurosurgery at the Burdenko Neurosurgery Institute in Moscow. Galstyan has honed her skills through various workshops, scientific projects, and research studies conducted in both the United States and Europe. She currently lives and works in Armenia.
期刊介绍:
eNeurologicalSci provides a medium for the prompt publication of original articles in neurology and neuroscience from around the world. eNS places special emphasis on articles that: 1) provide guidance to clinicians around the world (Best Practices, Global Neurology); 2) report cutting-edge science related to neurology (Basic and Translational Sciences); 3) educate readers about relevant and practical clinical outcomes in neurology (Outcomes Research); and 4) summarize or editorialize the current state of the literature (Reviews, Commentaries, and Editorials). eNS accepts most types of manuscripts for consideration including original research papers, short communications, reviews, book reviews, letters to the Editor, opinions and editorials. Topics considered will be from neurology-related fields that are of interest to practicing physicians around the world. Examples include neuromuscular diseases, demyelination, atrophies, dementia, neoplasms, infections, epilepsies, disturbances of consciousness, stroke and cerebral circulation, growth and development, plasticity and intermediary metabolism. The fields covered may include neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology, neuroepidemiology, neurogenetics, neuroimmunology, neuroophthalmology, neuropathology, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, neuropsychology, neuroradiology, neurosurgery, neurooncology, neurotoxicology, restorative neurology, and tropical neurology.
