Disease intro

An Introduction to the Disease Section: The Disease Column will be a section of the monthly journal that features one or more articles on specific neurological diseases and chronic conditions that relate directly to the theme of the month. Rather than focus on a feature of a disease that has been studied in research publications or write about the discovery of a treatment for a disease like other journal sections may do, contributors to the Disease Column will focus on informing readers about both common and uncommon diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems in a more general sense. Since neurology and neuropathology are very broad fields, the aim of the column will not only be to teach readers about the mechanisms behind a condition and the resulting symptoms, but also to raise awareness of the disease by providing the audience with additional resources to further understand the condition and opportunities for students and adults to get involved with national and international organizations that help patients suffering from the illness discussed in the monthly Disease Column. Typically, each issue will have one main article or disease that is focused on, but writers can contribute as much as they want and are strongly encouraged to do so.
