Editorial introduction

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 Editor for this issue. SECTION EDITOR Marie VidailhetMarie VidailhetMarie Vidailhet is Professor of Neurology at Sorbonne Université, Salpêtrière Hospital, and the Paris Brain Institute (ICM) research centre, Paris, France. Her work focuses on dystonia and other movement disorders, as well as Parkinson's disease, spanning pathophysiology to experimental therapeutics. She is a member of the Mov’it research group at the Paris Brain Institute, where her research addresses the pathophysiology of dystonia and other rare movement disorders, and the development of therapeutic approaches, including deep brain stimulation and non-invasive neuromodulation. Her current research aims to better understand the mechanisms underlying movement and behavioural disorders, particularly in genetic conditions and relevant animal models, and to identify predictors of individual therapeutic response over short- and long-term follow-up. She is an Honorary Member of the Movement Disorder Society (International Executive Committee) and the European Academy of Neurology, and is actively involved in international teaching, mentoring, and the training of young neurologists. She is the current President of the French Neurological Society. She has co-authored over 400 publications in high-impact journals, including Lancet Neurology, Movement Disorders, Brain, and Current Opinion in Neurology, focusing on the pathophysiology and treatment of dystonia, other movement disorders, and neuroimaging diagnostic and prognostic factors in Parkinson's disease
