International Journal of Stroke Research

International Journal of Stroke Research concentrates on the clinical aspects of stroke with basic science contributions in areas of clinical interest. Reviews of current topics are broadly based to encompass not only recent advances of global interest but also those which may be more significant in certain regions and the journal regularly features items of news interest from all parts of the world.
