The European Journal of Neurology has extended the submission deadline for its special issue on Environmental Influences in Neurology. Researchers now have until 31 December 2026 to submit their work.
The special issue aims to foster interdisciplinary dialogue and advance understanding of how environmental factors contribute to neurological disorders.
Topics for this call for papers include but are not restricted to:
- Climate change and its effects on neurological health
- Air pollution and neurological disorders
- Neurotoxic exposures (chemicals, microplastics, heavy metals, pesticides, etc)
- Environmental stressors and brain health
- Preventative strategies and public health intervention
- Multi-level interactions between risk factors, including genetics
- Adaptation strategies
- Economic impact of environmental changes on the burden of neurological disorders
- Gaining mechanistic insights into how environmental factors affect the nervous system
- Epidemiological studies that link environmental exposures with neurological outcomes
- Translational and clinical studies identifying biomarkers of environmental impact
- Interactions between genetic susceptibility and environmental risk
- Preventive or policy-oriented approaches to ameliorating environmental neurological risks
- Using science to inform policy and legal levers to promote mitigation
