    Unfortunately, the Journal of Neurotherapy lost its central role in our field in 2010 and is now poorly regarded by me and many others after complaints were filed with NCBI over political interference in the peer review process. The Journal of Neuroplasticity and Neuromodulation was started in early 2010 to publish peer-reviewed research in our field and continue on with the highest acadmic integrity.
