About the journal
This journal is intended to provide a medium for the publication of scientific contributions dealing with all aspects of functional neurology. Focusing on the interaction of the nervous system with environment, its aim is to encourage and facilitate the diffusion of new ideas, findings and formulations in a range of interdisciplinary areas: the aging brain, autonomic nervous system, behavioural research, cerebrovascular disorders, computational neuroscience, epidemiology, epilepsy, extrapyramidal disorders, headache medicine, neurobiology, neurochemistry, neuroendocrinology, neurogenomics, neuroimaging, neuroimmunology, neuropharmacology, neurophysiology, neuropsychology. The journal is published quarterly and contains clinical and experimental studies in the form of original articles, review or mini review articles and short communications. Hypotheses, historical or technical notes, case reports and letters to the editor are also considered for publication.
In addition, the section Current Awareness in Neurobiology provides updates on selected aspects of neurobiology.
Supplements to the journal, or the journal itself, may include proceedings of congresses in the field of functional neurology.

Articles must be typed double-spaced on A4 format sheets (21 x 29.7 cm).
The title page should include the full title, the full name (no initials of the first name) of each author, each author's affiliation; the address (postal and e-mail) of the author to whom reprint requests should be sent; a short abstract not exceeding 150 words; key words (no more than 6) in alphabetical order; a short running title. Whenever possible, the text should be divided into major sections such as: Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgments and References.
Tables should have a title and should be numbered with Roman numerals (I, II, etc.). The number of the tables must be kept to a minimum. The data must be completely but concisely presented and any abbreviations used should be defined.
Illustrations should be restricted to professionally drawn and lettered originals or glossy prints. High resolution illustrations (graphs included) should be submitted in TIF, JPG or EPS format, or in original prints of such good quality that they can be photographed. Photographs should be submitted in a final size not exceeding the width of the text (15 cm). Figure legends should be typed single-spaced below the figure. Figures should be numbered with Arabic numerals. Make sure that all the abbreviations and symbols in the figure are explained in the legend. Colour illustrations can be reproduced at the author's expense.
References should be typed single-spaced at the end of the text and numbered consecutively in the order in which they are first mentioned. Authors are asked to limit the number of references cited to 25 (or 50 in the case of review articles). The reference list must include all authors referred to in the text and in the tables or legends. References in the text, tables, and legends must be identified by Arabic numerals in parentheses. In the text, references shall be made by giving the name of the authors followed by the appropriate number in parentheses (e. g.: "Smith (1) has reported..." or simply by giving the appropriate number in parentheses (e.g.: "As has recently been reported (1, 2) .."). In the text, when there are more than two authors, only the name of the first author should be given, followed by "et al.". In the reference list, all authors should be listed when there are 6 or fewer, when there are 7 or more only the first 3 should be given, followed by "et al.".
References should follow the Vancouver style set forth in the "Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals" with the exception that pagination should be complete. The titles of journals should be abbreviated in accordance with the style used in Medline and/or other leading databases. References should be complete, and include initials and surnames of authors, titles of papers referred to, the abbreviated title of the journal, year, volume, first and last page number of article cited. References to papers "submitted" or to "personal communications" cannot be accepted; these should be mentioned in the body of the text. Accurate compilation of the bibliography is mandatory.

Abbreviations: Quantities and units should be expressed in accordance with the recommendations of the Système International d'Unités (SI). For recognized abbreviations see Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery, and Psychiatry 1975;38:5 and Units, Symbols and Abbreviations, 3rd edition 1977edited by DN Baron, London: Royal Society of Medicine.
Style: Statistical analyses must explain the methods used. The use of footnotes is not permitted. Single quotation marks should be used and words to be italicised should be underlined.
Functional Neurology reserves the right to alter manuscripts where necessary to make them conform with the stylistic and bibliographical conventions of the journal. Prior to publication, all texts accepted by the scientific reviewers are reviewed by the journal's language editor, who may propose changes to improve the style and/or clarity of the text.
Submission on disk: With the manuscript, also a floppy disk of the word-processed manuscript and a list of any non-standard characters used on the disk can be submitted. The preferred storage medium is a 3.5 inch disk in Windows compatible format. Accurate keyboard practice is essential; for instance, one (1) and "el" (l) must be clearly different. Non-reproducible characters should not be left as a blank space in the file but replaced by characters not used elsewhere: their use must be consistent and clearly stated. The publisher is under no obligation to use the submitted floppy disk, but will make every effort to do so.
Ethical review: The editors and the publisher support the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki, and expect the authors of papers submitted to the journal to have obtained ethical consent and followed all legal and regulatory requirements for human experimentation with drugs, including informed consent, applicable in their institution and country.
