With this issue, Neurological Sciences launches a new section dedicated to and driven by early career investigators, with the ultimate goal of unlocking the potential of trainees and young clinician scientists and fostering their vision and innovative thinking.

The initiative aims to establish a new publishing venue with high educational content, whose vital energy stems from the engagement of residents in neurology, doctoral students, and young neurologists from Italy, Europe, and beyond.

We hope that this section provides an incentive to the next generation of neurologists to engage into scientific work and article writing in the field of clinical neuroscience. It will provide an educational section for trainees and fellows and develop paths for the rapid dissemination of innovative discoveries and new ideas.

The editorial board is composed by the Editor-in-Chief of Neurological Sciences, the President of the Italian Neurological Society, and young neurologists selected from the Italian Neurological Society and Neurological Societies of other countries who will serve as team members for a 3-year period. Recruiting of additional team members will be open soon. Eligible individuals are adult and child neurology residents who have completed their first 2 years of residency, PhD students, and young neurologists aged ≤ 40 years at the end of their 3-year mandate. Responsibilities of team members include writing articles, recruiting young authors to write articles, reviewing manuscripts, suggesting reviewers for manuscripts, disseminating articles via social media, and proposing new ideas for the development of the collection.

All authors submitting manuscripts must be less than 40 years of age. The section is composed of a set of collections and includes different categories of papers such as short reviews, case series, translational impact of emerging neuroscience, and education and training of residents and fellows. Team members are committed to developing other innovative presentation opportunities.

With these collections, we encourage young neurologists to submit review articles on specific topics across the entire field of neurology, not only in areas where neurological research is rapidly advancing, but also on topics with a strong educational content. Articles on one’s own research activity are particularly encouraged. The personal experiences of young neurologists in their academic activities, patient care, and training received in the various specialization schools will also be welcomed.
