Why are we building a new journal for epilepsy research?It’s a question we kept thinking during the planning and preparation of Acta Epileptologica.First,we are faced with greater challenges caused by Epilepsy.An aging society with more various public health problems has come,among which epilepsy is one of the arising risks for health.The WHO has estimated that epilepsy affects more than 50 million people worldwide and one of the peak age of onset is over 65 years old.Therefore,more research on finding solutions is urgently needed.Acta Epileptologica(AE)offers a new option for publication and communication.
