Author Tip
Neurology strives to publish superb studies in clinical neurology. Peer reviewers' opinions of manuscripts are invaluable in assisting the Editor-in-Chief and Associate Editors in making their decisions. In addition to helping assess the value of a manuscript for scientific literature, and Neurology in particular, reviewers help authors to improve their manuscripts by recommending areas for the author to address (either for Neurology or an alternate journal if a manuscript is ultimately rejected by Neurology).
In return for reviewing, you'll keep up with the field and gain understanding that will improve the quality of your own studies and how you report them. In appreciation of your service to the journal, your name will be included in a list we publish twice each year of reviewers who have reviewed for us during the past 6 months. Superb reviewers may be chosen to sit on Neurology's Editorial Board.
If you are interested in reviewing, contact us at journal{at}neurology.org and include a series of keywords on topics in which you have expertise to help us determine appropriate papers for you to review.

Brain injury from concussion may linger longer than 1 year after return to play
How long does it take an athlete to recover from a concussion? New research has found an athlete's brain may still not be fully recovered 1 year after being allowed to return to play. “There is growing evidence that recovery from a concussion may not be complete even when symptoms such as headache and dizziness are gone and the athlete is allowed to return to play, so it is important to determine if various aspects of the brain injury resolve over time or are perhaps permanent,” said study author Nathan W. Churchill, PhD, of St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto, Canada. “Our research looked at the brain 1 year after return to play in a group of college athletes and found that evidence of brain injury from concussion remained in some parts of the brain.”
