Acta Neuropathologica
Acta Neuropathologica
Acta Neuropathologica (pronounced: ak-ta neuro-path-ologica) is a peer-reviewed medical journal that focuses on the pathology and mechanisms of neurological disease.
Etymology
The term "Acta Neuropathologica" is derived from Latin and Greek roots. "Acta" is a Latin word meaning "acts" or "proceedings," while "Neuropathologica" is a combination of the Greek words "neuron" (nerve), "pathos" (disease), and "logos" (study). Thus, the term can be roughly translated as "proceedings in the study of nerve diseases."
Scope
Acta Neuropathologica publishes research articles, reviews, and short communications in the field of neuropathology. The journal covers topics such as neurodegeneration, neuroimmunology, neurooncology, and neurogenetics, among others. It is particularly interested in studies that provide insights into the pathogenesis and pathology of neurological diseases.
