Reviews in Veterinary Neurology and Neurosurgery, Volume II

Due to the remarkable success of the Research Topic 'Reviews in Veterinary Neurology and Neurosurgery' and the rapidly evolving subject area, we are pleased to launch Volume II for this topic.

In recent years, research in the field of veterinary neurology and neurosurgery has experienced exponential growth, although the resultant expansion of knowledge has not been equally parsed across the various sub-disciplines comprising our specialty nor focused on some of the most critical issues facing our profession today. For example, studies of neurological diseases affecting dogs and cats substantially outnumber those concerning farm, wildlife, and exotic animal species. There also remains many timely and important unanswered questions related to how climate-induced changes in ecosystems may directly or indirectly alter the incidence, distribution, or risks factors of infectious, nutritional, or toxicologic diseases affecting the nervous system of animals, or best practices that promote environmental sustainability within veterinary clinical neurology. In addition, while new and potentially transformative technologies, such as generative artificial intelligence, have gained worldwide attention and been implemented resulting in improvements in several aspects of human neurological practice, there have been very few specific investigations delving into the utility and validity of these tools in veterinary neurology.

This Research Topic aims to collect reviews on all facets of veterinary neurology and neurosurgery, related to all species. Through the submission of Review articles, Mini Reviews and Systematic Reviews we hope that new and established researchers will showcase the current state of the art, emphasizing major recent advancements that have been achieved as well as identifying any significant knowledge gaps that remain. Authors are encouraged to identify the most significant challenges facing the filed today and propose solutions to address those challenges.
