# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Dr. Motamedi’s clinical research focuses on seizure onset localization, and optimizing the stimulation parameters during cortical stimulation for brain mapping purposes in patients undergoing epilepsy surgery. The lab’s basic research includes experimenting on animal models of epilepsy to evaluate the mechanisms of action, and the effects of hypothermia in seizures as a possible treatment in the near future.

Manuscripts are accepted for exclusive publication in the Journal of Neuroscience Nursing. The editor reserves the right to accept or reject manuscripts. Accepted manuscripts become the property of the Journal. Rejected manuscripts will be returned to the author. Authors are not reimbursed for articles.

Authorship
Each author must meet the following criteria: provide substantial contribution to the work (conception, design, data collection, analysis, interpretation, or manuscript preparation). Additionally, each author must read and approve the final submission and agree to be accountable for the contents and findings of the work. Authorship changes are not permitted after submission without approval of the editor. Requests for authorship changes must be submitted to the editor in writing.

Example of Abstract:
BACKGROUND: The pupillary light reflex (PLR) describes the response when light hits the retina and sends a signal to the Edinger-Westphal Nucleus which via cranial nerve III results in pupillary constriction. The Neurological Pupil index TM (NPi) and pupil constriction velocity (CV) are two distinct variables that can be observed and measured using a pupillometer. METHODS: We examine NPi and CV in 27,462 pupil readings (1,617 subjects). NPi values <3.0 and a CV < 0.8 mm/sec were considered abnormal. Regression was used to clarify the effect of pupil size and repeated measures. An odds ratio of abnormal CV given normal NPi (and vice versa) was computed using the glimmixed (SAS) regression. RESULTS: Of 27,462 readings, 49.2% revealed bilaterally normal NPi with brisk CV, and 10.8% revealed bilaterally abnormal NPi and slow CV; 9.1% with unilaterally normal NPi and brisk CV where the opposite pupil had an abnormal NPi and slow CV. The remaining 30.9% revealed that one or both PLR had either a normal NPi with slow CV, or abnormal NPi with brisk CV. CONCLUSION: Brisk CV does not rule out an abnormal PLR; slow CV does not rule in abnormal PLR. Practitioners should consider these implications when interpreting pupillometry readings.

The Abstract, body, references should each start on a new page. Manuscripts should be prepared using standard word processing software. Use 12-point font and double-space the body of the manuscript. Submit with 1-inch margins and page numbers on the bottom right.

Editorial Manager - Journal of Neuroscience Nursing

# data[].attributes.body
One significant challenge I foresee if I were to prepare a manuscript for submission to the Journal of Nursing is the strict formatting requirements of the Journal of Neuroscience Nursing (JNN). If I were someone with limited experience in academic publishing, using clear sections like introduction, methods, and discussions would feel overwhelming. My study regarding seizure protocols contains comprehensive interventions and multiple settings, condensing all vital information while staying within their word limits would pose a significant challenge. Careful editing and planning will be necessary for me to meet these standards (Neuronurse, n.d.).

# data[].attributes.body
Another challenge I would face is explaining my research methods and the ethical steps I took appropriately. I need to write a strong detail on how I make my research methods, including expert and input testing. I also need to describe how the nurses who volunteered in my study were chosen, how the protocols were used, their outcomes, response times measured, and the analyses I conducted. I also need to ensure that I include all the necessary ethical details, such as IRB approval and consent forms. Without clear and detailed explanations of my study, the credibility and chances of my research being approved and published may be affected or ultimately denied. Overall, I need to ensure my content is clear and organized (Neuronurse, n.d.).

Journal of Neuroscience Nursing (JNN) recently published an article titled “Development of an Epilepsy Nursing Communication Tool: Improving the Quality of Interactions Between Nurses and Patients with Seizures.”  As I read the article, it demonstrated active involvement in clinical tools that enhance and support the implementation of better seizure care and protocol. This aligns with my PICOT question because the research article focuses on implementing standardised nursing protocols to enhance seizure cognition and responses. The article also highlighted the impact of structured communication and how it improves patient outcomes, while reinforcing the importance of using evidence-based practices in response to new-onset seizure disorders or other neurologic conditions. The Journal of Neuroscience Nursing (JNN) publication of this article highlights the importance of sharing innovation in seizure-related nursing research and practice.

I used Journal of Neuroscience Nursing for my dissemination project because the Journal of Neuroscience is the official publication of the American Association of Nueroscience Nurses (AANN) and is dedicated to advancing nursing practice in neurological conditions, including epilepsy and seizure disorders. Based on my PICOT question, which explores the implementation of evidence-based seizure protocols (EBS) in acute care settings, such as the med-surg unit, directly addressing the care of neurological patients. Journal of Neuroscience Nursing (JNN) readers or audience, including nurse educators, neuroscience nurses, clinical leaders and administrators, and researchers, would benefit from practical, evidence-based strategies and insights aimed at improving seizure response times, recognition, and patient outcomes. Publishing in the Journal of Neuroscience Nursing (JNN) ensures that manuscripts and findings are shared with professional researchers who can apply them in real-world clinical settings (Journal of Neuroscience Nursing, n.d.).

Development of an Epilepsy Nursing Communication Tool:... : Journal of Neuroscience Nursing

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
epilepsy, given the proper tools. Objective: Our objective was to create a tool that can be used by nurses in the clinic setting to help facilitate discussion of topics relevant to enhancing medical care and management of patients with epilepsy. To address this need, a panel of epilepsy nursing experts used a patient-centered care approach to develop an Epilepsy Nursing Communication Tool (ENCT). Methods: An initial set of topics and questions was created based on findings from a literature review. Eight nurse experts reviewed and revised the ENCT using focus groups and discussion forums. The revised ENCT was provided to nurses who care for patients with epilepsy but had not been involved in ENCT development. Nurses were asked to rate the usability and feasibility on a 5-point scale to assess whether the tool captured important topics and was easy to use. Results: Ten nurses provided usability and feasibility assessments. Results indicated strong tool utility, with median scores of 4.5, 4, and 4 for usefulness, ease of use, and acceptability, respectively. Conclusions: The preliminary ENCT shows promise in providing a tool that nurses can use in their interactions with patients with epilepsy to help address the complexity of disease management, which may help improve overall patient care.…
