Time is infinite movement in constant motion. We are glad to see that Neurorestoratology, a new discipline, has grown into a rich field involving many global researchers in recent years. In this 2019 yearbook of Neurorestoratology, we introduce the most recent advances and achievements in this field, including findings on the pathogenesis of neurological diseases, neurorestorative mechanisms, and clinical therapeutic achievements globally. Many patients have benefited from treatments involving cell therapies, neurostimulation/neuromodulation, brain–computer interface, neurorestorative surgery or pharmacy, and many others. Clinical physicians can refer to this yearbook with the latest knowledge and apply it to clinical practice.

Abstract

Time is infinite movement in constant motion. We are glad to see that Neurorestoratology, a new discipline, has grown into a rich field involving many global researchers in recent years. In this 2019 yearbook of Neurorestoratology, we introduce the most recent advances and achievements in this field, including findings on the pathogenesis of neurological diseases, neurorestorative mechanisms, and clinical therapeutic achievements globally. Many patients have benefited from treatments involving cell therapies, neurostimulation/neuromodulation, brain–computer interface, neurorestorative surgery or pharmacy, and many others. Clinical physicians can refer to this yearbook with the latest knowledge and apply it to clinical practice.
