Hereditary Neurological Disorders
Hereditary Neurological Disorders is a research topic within Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience. Science Explorer counts 15k research works in it since 1950. 12.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.
This cluster of papers explores the genetic basis and molecular mechanisms underlying various neuropathies, including Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, hereditary spastic paraplegia, and related disorders. It covers topics such as genetic mutations, axonal degeneration, nerve growth factor, mitochondrial dysfunction, and microtubule dynamics. The research also delves into the role of neurofilament mutations and ganglioside-induced differentiation in these neuropathies.

How concentrated that is
The same countries as shares of everything the list above accounts for. A node where two countries do two thirds of the work and one spread evenly across twelve read alike as a ranking and not at all alike here.
