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 Jean-Marc LégerJean-Marc LégerDr Jean-Marc Léger started his career in neurology at the University Hospital Pitié-Salpêtrière and University Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI), France, in 1980, where he trained in general neurology and clinical neurophysiology. He was then nominated as full-time senior neurologist in 1987 in the Department of Neurology, University Hospital Pitié-Salpêtrière, and received his post-graduate degree (Habilitation à diriger des Recherches) from University Paris VI in 1991. He is currently coordinator, together with Dr Eymard, of the National Referral Center for rare Neuromuscular Diseases, that was built up in the Department of Neurology of University Hospital Pitié-Salpêtrière in 2004. Dr Léger's clinical and research interests are in the field of peripheral neuropathy and in particular chronic immune-mediated neuropathy. He has authored and co-authored more than 150 articles in peer-reviewed journals, and contributed more than 30 chapters to books on neurology, mainly in the field of diagnostic features and therapeutic trials in vasculitic neuropathy, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy, multifocal motor neuropathy and paraproteinaemic neuropathies. He served as Editor-in-Chief of the Revue Neurologique for 8 years and as member of the Editorial Board of Brain for 5 years, and is currently member of the Board of the European Journal of Neurology and Associate Editor of the Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System. Dr Léger is past President of the Société Française de Neurologie, in which he served as Secretary General for 8 years.

Michel FardeauMichel FardeauMichel Fardeau was trained in clinical neurology by Professor Raymond Garcin and in neuropathology by Professor Jean Lapresle at Salpetriere Hospital, Paris, France. At the end of his internship, he received a scientific formation in cell biology at Professeur René Couteaux laboratory, in Sorbonne Faculty of Sciences, France. Afterwards, he decided to entirely devote his research activities to neuromuscular pathology. He completed his training in W. King Engel's laboratory at the National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md, USA, from 1967 to 1968. Michel Fardeau contributed to the clinical, histopathological and ultrastructural description of several entities, in particular of limb-girdle muscular dystrophies, congenital muscular dystrophies and structural congenital myopathies. He is the author of more than 400 original publications and chapters of books. He gave a number of reports and keynote lectures in international congresses. Moreover, in parallel to his clinical and scientific work, he was appointed as Chair Professor for Social Integration of Disabled People at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers in Paris, France. Michel Fardeau belonged to many French and international scientific organizations. He was the first President of the Scientific Council of the French Muscular Dystrophy Association, and from its creation, until very recent time, the medical and scientific Director of the Institute of Myology at Salpetriere Hospital.
