Current Opinion in Neurology was launched in 1988. It is one of a successful series of review journals whose unique format is designed to provide a systematic and critical assessment of the literature as presented in the many primary journals. The field of neurology is divided into 14 sections that are reviewed once a year. Each section is assigned a Section Editor, a leading authority in the area, who identifies the most important topics at that time. Here we are pleased to introduce the Journal's Section Editors for this issue. SECTION EDITORS Martin J. McKeownMartin J. McKeownDr McKeown is the John Nichol Chair in Parkinson's Research, Director at the Pacific Parkinson's Research Centre (PPRC), Professor in the Department of Medicine, and adjunct professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia, Canada. The PPRC is deemed an International Centre of Excellence by the (US-based) Parkinson's Foundation. He did his Engineering Physics, Medicine and Neurology training at McMaster, University of Toronto, and University of Western Ontario, Canada respectively. He did a three-year research fellowship at the Computational Neurobiology Laboratory at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in San Diego before being hired as an Assistant Professor of Medicine and Biomedical Engineering at Duke University, USA. He was recruited to UBC in 2003. He is currently the Medical Advisor to the Parkinson's Society of BC, and Chair, Research and Clinical Advisory committee, Parkinson Canada. His research interests include privacy-compliant video monitoring technologies for Parkinson's disease and non-invasive neuromodulation. Marie VidailhetMarie VidailhetMarie Vidailhet is Professor of Neurology, Head of the Movement Disorders section and of the Dystonia and rare movement disorders National Reference Centre at Salpêtrière Hospital, Sorbonne Université, France; Head of the Research Team (Movement, investigations, and of the Therapeutics MOV’IT research group) at Paris Brain Institute, ICM (co-head Stephane Lehéricy), Paris, France, focused on the pathophysiology of motor and behaviour dysfunctions in movement disorders including dystonia, tremor and Tourette syndrome. She part of the ERN (European Reference Network) and of several international working groups in movement disorders and Parkinson's disease. She held the positions of Head of Neurology Department, Saint-Antoine University Hospital, Pierre et Marie Curie University, from 1997 to 2007, and previously of Assistant Professor, then Associate Professor in Salpêtriere, Paris, France. As a Visiting Research Fellow, Institute of Neurology, Queen Square, London, UK, she worked at the Human Movement Balance Unit research section London, UK with Pr CD Marsden, JC Rothwell and Ph Thompson. She is involved in the Movement Disorders Society including the MDS-ES (European section) and in the European Academy of Neurology (EAN) as board, and in international mentorship and fellowships programs (EAN, MDS). She was Vice-chair du COST action BM1101 European network for dystonia. She co-authored over 400 publications (total H index 85) with her group, with a focus on pathophysiology of dystonia, tremors and Tourette syndrome, deep brain stimulation and non-invasive stimulation both for research and experimental therapeutics. The other focus is multimodal/neuroimaging characterization of Parkinson's disease and isolated REM sleep disorders, current research programs, JP-RD Eurodyscover E-Rare (Europe), Dystonia Coalition (USA) on dystonia and several collaborative programs on Parkinson's disease. She was awarded the MDS Presidential lecture (Stanley Fahn Lecture) and the Prix Memin-Pelletier (Biology) French Academy of Science.
