About InFo Neurologie

InFo Neurologie

InFo Neurologie, published under the full title "InFo Neurologie + Psychiatrie," is the German interdisciplinary specialist journal for neurology and psychiatry, published by Springer Medizin. The journal's goal is to promote the interdisciplinary dialogue between these disciplines and the other fields of medicine: it provides the overview of the international specialist literature, the well-founded certified continuing education (CME), the current reports from the neurological and psychiatric training events, the interdisciplinary case discussions, and the current news. With its online full text, e-paper, and PDF formats, it serves the neurologists and psychiatrists in the practice and the clinic.

Overview

InFo Neurologie + Psychiatrie appears as the neuro-psychiatric dialogue journal: the medium for the neurologists, the psychiatrists, and the child and adolescent psychiatrists in the practice and the clinic, and the physicians of the neighboring disciplines from the internal medicine to the geriatrics who encounter the neuro-psychiatric patients. The editorial program bridges the neurology and the psychiatry systematically: the overview of the international specialist literature surveying both fields' journals, the well-founded certified continuing education (CME) with the modules on the current therapy strategies, the current reports from the neurological and psychiatric training events and congresses, the interdisciplinary case discussions where the specialists jointly analyze the complex patients, and the current news from the profession, the guidelines, and the health policy. The contents are available in the online full text as well as the e-paper and PDF formats, serving the digital and the print readers.

The journal's interdisciplinary mission reflects the brain's unity: the neurological and the psychiatric diseases share the organ, the mechanisms, and often the patients. The dialogue between the disciplines improves the care: the neurologist learns the psychiatry, the psychiatrist learns the neurology, and the patients benefit.

History

InFo Neurologie + Psychiatrie grew from Springer Medizin's neuro-psychiatric portfolio: the publisher created the dedicated dialogue journal alongside the DNP – Die Neurologie & Psychiatrie, the CME journal for the specialists. The InFo journal's interdisciplinary positioning distinguished it: not the specialist depth but the dialogue breadth.

The journal's development tracked the neuroscience's advances: the neurodegeneration's mechanisms, the neuroimmunology's therapies, and the psychiatry's reforms. The issues, from the 11/2023 to the 9/2024 to the volume 27 (2025), document the continuous publication: the journal that has informed the neuro-psychiatric dialogue for the years. The editorials, like Hans-Christoph Diener's on the Goldwater rule for the German neurologists and psychiatrists, show the journal's professional-ethical voice.

Coverage and Content

The neurology coverage addresses the field's spectrum: the neurodegenerative diseases from the Parkinson's to the dementia, the vascular neurology's stroke prevention, and the neuroimmunology's multiple sclerosis. The psychiatry coverage addresses the mental health's challenges: the care reforms demanded by the DGPPN president, the social participation for the mentally ill, and the primary-care system's access. The interdisciplinary coverage bridges the fields: the nutrition's value in the neurodegenerative diseases, the impulse-control disorders in the Parkinson's, and the primary prevention's vascular focus.

The literature overview surveys the international journals: the 3,000 neurological abstracts and the look beyond the horizon. The CME provides the certified education: the modules on the current therapy strategies. The case discussions present the interdisciplinary cases: the neurology and psychiatry jointly analyzing the complex patients. The news covers the profession: the congresses, the guidelines, and the policies.

The Brain's Unity

The InFo Neurologie's interdisciplinary mission rests on the brain's unity: the organ that the history divided between the neurology and the psychiatry, but the science reunites. The neurologists claimed the brain's diseases with the visible lesions, the psychiatrists the mind's disorders with the invisible suffering, but the modern neuroscience dissolves the boundary: the depression shows the brain changes, the Parkinson's brings the psychiatric symptoms, and the dementia is both.

The journal serves this reunification: the case discussions where the neurologists and psychiatrists jointly analyze the patients who don't fit the categories, the literature overview covering both fields' international journals, and the CME educating across the boundary. The nutrition's value in the neurodegenerative diseases, with the Parkinson's medication effects depending on what, when, and how much the patients eat, exemplifies the interdisciplinarity: the neurology, the nutrition, and the pharmacology converging on the patient's plate. The primary prevention's vascular focus, with the diabetes and obesity as the stroke risk factors, shows the neurology learning from the internal medicine. In the brain's medicine where the disciplines must converge, the journal is the convergence: the medium that reunites what the history divided, for the patients who never fit the categories.

The Neuro-Psychiatric Dialogue

InFo Neurologie serves the dialogue between the neurology and the psychiatry: the two disciplines that the history separated but the brain reunites. The neurologists treat the brain's diseases, the psychiatrists the mind's disorders, but the patients cross the boundary: the Parkinson's patients develop the depression, the depressed patients show the neurological signs, and the dementia blurs the distinction.

The journal's interdisciplinary mission addresses this reality: the case discussions bring the neurologists and psychiatrists together, the literature overview covers both fields, and the CME educates across the boundary. The DGPPN president's care-reform demands, the regional care responsibility, and the social participation show the psychiatry's systemic challenges: the journal covers them for the neurologists too. In the neuroscience where the disciplines converge, the journal is the forum: the medium for the dialogue that the patients need.

Organization and Ownership

InFo Neurologie + Psychiatrie is published by the Springer Medizin Verlag GmbH, part of the Springer Nature group. The journal shares Springer Medizin's neuro-psychiatric portfolio with the DNP. The editorial details beyond the publisher are not publicly confirmed in the available sources.

The business model is the medical-publishing model: the subscriptions from the physicians and the institutions who need the neuro-psychiatric dialogue, and the advertising from the pharmaceutical industry's neurology and psychiatry manufacturers, from the Parkinson's drugs to the antidepressants to the antipsychotics. The online full text, e-paper, and PDF formats serve the digital readers: the physicians accessing the content on the devices, in the formats they prefer. The journal's continuity, from the early issues to the volume 27 (2025), documents the sustained demand: the brain's medicine needs the dialogue that the InFo Neurologie provides, issue after issue.

Digital Presence

The springermedizin.de portal carries the journal digitally: the issues' contents with the dozens of articles, the online full text, and the e-paper and PDF formats. The link.springer.com platform provides the citable articles with the DOIs: the editorials and the studies integrated into the scientific literature. The Springer Medizin Podcast extends the brand into the audio: the episodes on the nutrition in the neurodegenerative diseases with the InFo journal's article references.

For the neurologists and psychiatrists, InFo Neurologie is the dialogue journal: the interdisciplinary medium with the overview of the international specialist literature, the well-founded certified continuing education, the current reports from the neurological and psychiatric training events, the interdisciplinary case discussions, and the current news, available in the online full text, the e-paper, and the PDF. In the neuroscience where the neurology and psychiatry converge on the brain's unity, the journal promotes the dialogue that the history divided: the overview, the education, and the discussion, for the patients whose brains and minds need the united care, one issue at a time, now and in the future.
