Epilepsy Research provides for rapid publication of high quality articles in both experimental and clinical epileptology, where the principal emphasis of the research is concerned with brain mechanisms in epilepsy. It is intended to provide a forum for the many disciplines involved such as neurology, neurosurgery, neurophysiology, neuropharmacology, neurochemistry, neuroanatomy, neuropathology, neuroendocrinology, neurotoxicology, neurogenetics, neuroimaging, neuropsychology, neuropsychiatry, molecular neurobiology, clinical chemistry and paediatrics. As such the journal will publish original papers from any of these individual areas or studies of a multidisciplinary nature. Clinical and experimental research papers adopting fresh conceptual approaches to the study of epilepsy are encouraged. The overriding criteria for publication are novelty, significant clinical or experimental relevance, and interest to a multidisciplinary audience.
