Please feel free to forward to your colleagues & share news of the journal | Dear Colleague, We are pleased to share the content of two recent issues of Restorative Neurology and Neuroscience (RNN). In Volume 36, Issue 4, there is one open access article – freely available to read, download and share – which is a pilot study focusing on fast-paced arm excerise for patients with Parkinson's disease. The issue contents can be accessed via the links below, along with a list of the most read articles in RNN published in recent years. Call for Papers As a member of our research community, we would like to invite you to contribute your own articles to the journal. RNN offers contributing authors many benefits, including rigorous peer review and speedy manuscript processing, rapid online publication (pre-press) and an affordable open access option (US$1450 / €1250). Submit your manuscript online via msTracker View detailed Instructions to Authors Aims and Scope Looking forward to working with you. Kind regards, Editor-in-Chief Bernhard A.
