Revue neurologique is a French medical journal established in the late 19th century that publishes research, reviews, and case reports in clinical and experimental neurology. It has served as a forum connecting clinicians and researchers from institutions across Europe and beyond, maintaining ties with hospitals, universities, and learned societies. The journal has chronicled advances in neurology alongside contemporaneous developments in neuroscience, neurosurgery, and psychiatry.

History

The journal was founded during the Third French Republic era by figures active in Parisian medicine and linked to institutions such as Hôtel-Dieu de Paris, Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital, and Collège de France. Early editors and contributors included clinicians associated with Société de Biologie (Paris), practitioners trained under mentors connected to Jean-Martin Charcot, Jules Cloustan, and contemporaries who collaborated with researchers from Université de Paris and École de Médecine de Paris. Throughout the Belle Époque and the interwar period, the journal published reports by neurologists who served in contexts related to World War I, military hospitals like Val-de-Grâce, and international congresses such as the International Congress of Neurology.

In the mid-20th century, contributions reflected advances tied to laboratories at Institut Pasteur, Collège de France, and university departments at Université Pierre et Marie Curie and Université Lyon 1, alongside clinical series from centers like Hôpitaux de Paris and institutions linked to figures associated with Alexandre-Achille Souques and other schoolmasters of neurology. Postwar editions documented interactions with research funded by organizations analogous to Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique and exchanges with neurologists from United Kingdom, United States, Germany, Italy, Spain, and Belgium.

Scope and Content

The journal covers clinical neurology topics relevant to practitioners at referral centers such as those specializing in stroke, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and neuromuscular disorders. It includes articles on diagnostic methods rooted in tools developed at laboratories like those producing electroencephalography and techniques refined in departments influenced by innovations from Vladimir Bekhterev-era research and inventions linked to Hans Berger. The scope extends to neuropathology studies informed by collections at museums like Musée Dupuytren and to neuroimaging reports reflecting evolution from X-ray era procedures to techniques pioneered at centers associated with Gustave Roussy and groups collaborating with specialists from Massachusetts General Hospital, Mayo Clinic, Johns Hopkins Hospital, Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin, and Karolinska Institutet.

The journal publishes case reports, systematic reviews, original research, and consensus statements touching on therapeutics whose development involved clinicians from Roche, Sanofi, Pfizer, and academic labs at University College London and Stanford University. Interdisciplinary pieces discuss interfaces with psychiatry, neurosurgery, rehabilitation medicine at Institut de Rééducation, and ethical debates involving institutions like Conseil d'État and bodies modeled after World Health Organization guidelines.

Publication and Editorial Information

Published by a French scientific publisher historically linked to houses such as Masson (publisher), the journal issues monthly volumes and accepts submissions in French and occasionally in other languages. The editorial board historically included chairs from departments at Université de Strasbourg, Université de Bordeaux, Université de Montpellier, and representatives from clinical centers such as Hôpital de la Salpêtrière and Hôpital Lariboisière. Editorial processes parallel standards promoted by organizations like International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, Committee on Publication Ethics, and indexing expectations of agencies like CNRS and national library systems such as Bibliothèque nationale de France.

Special issues and supplements have been organized in conjunction with congresses like the World Congress of Neurology and national meetings of societies modeled on the Société Française de Neurologie and have featured guest editors affiliated with research centers such as Institut du Cerveau, INSERM, and international collaborators from European Academy of Neurology and American Academy of Neurology.

Abstracting and Indexing

The journal is abstracted and indexed in major bibliographic services comparable to EMBASE, MEDLINE, Scopus, and international catalogs maintained by organizations like WorldCat and national databases analogous to HAL (open archive). Citation tracking and impact metrics have been reported in databases stylistically similar to Web of Science and bibliometric analyses produced by groups such as Clarivate and Elsevier analytics.

Academic libraries at institutions such as Bibliothèque interuniversitaire de Santé, Wellcome Library, Harvard Medical School, and Yale University Library provide holdings, and digitized archives interact with platforms influenced by projects like Gallica and repositories modeled on PubMed Central.

Notable Articles and Contributions

Over its run the journal has published clinical descriptions and pathological correlations by neurologists with reputations akin to Jean-Martin Charcot, Joseph Babinski, Edouard Brissaud, Georges Guillain, Jean-Alexandre Barré, Henri Meige, and other figures comparable to Santiago Ramón y Cajal-era microscopists. Articles have included seminal case series on movement disorders linked to descriptions preceding work by James Parkinson and neuropathological reports shedding light on conditions later framed by researchers from Alois Alzheimer and Emil Kraepelin traditions.

Contributions documented early electrodiagnostic observations related to pioneers such as Adolf Beck and narrative reviews anticipating concepts explored later by teams at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and Max Planck Institute for Brain Research. Clinical trial reports and pharmacological observations referenced drug development pathways involving laboratories at Institut Pasteur and collaborations with pharmaceutical entities like AstraZeneca.

Impact and Reception

The journal influenced clinical practice and academic teaching in neurology across Francophone institutions, informing curricula at medical schools such as Université de Lyon, Université de Lille, Université de Grenoble Alpes, and professional training at hospitals like Hôpital Necker–Enfants Malades. Its articles have been cited in monographs and textbooks produced by publishers such as Elsevier, Springer, Oxford University Press, and integrated into reviews appearing in journals comparable to The Lancet Neurology, Brain, Neurology (journal), and Annals of Neurology.

Scholarly reception has been shaped by shifting paradigms—electric diagnostics, neuroimaging revolutions, molecular neuropathology—and debates reflected in correspondence with societies modeled on European Neurological Society and international guideline committees resembling those of WHO and European Medicines Agency. The journal remains a reference point for historical scholarship on neurology and for clinicians tracing the evolution of practice across hospitals, universities, and research institutes.
