CMP Healthcare Media today published the first issue of Applied Neurology, featuring a special focus on neuropsychiatry. The January inaugural issue provided 34,000 qualified subscribers with the latest clinical information in the context of day-to-day practice and enabled pharmaceutical manufacturers and associated medical companies to deliver their messages to a unique and efficient mix of neurologists and high-prescribing primary care physicians.

"Presenting critical and timely topics in the context of daily practice helps physicians stay informed of best practices and deliver the best possible care for their patients. This approach is effective in any medical specialty," said Larry Hand, editor of Applied Neurology. "Our first issue covers such timely topics as stroke, multiple sclerosis, and spinal cord injury, as well as how to answer patients' questions regarding the potential for stem cell research."
