Аннотация: The nervous system, as one of the phylogenetically youngest structures, is also the most vulnerable to the external impact. Mechanical, physical, chemical, radiation, biological, and other damaging agents can lead to irreparable and at the same time hardly predictable violation of the nervous system. Neurotraumatology is a complex clinical and biomedical discipline that studies the pathogenesis, manifestation, and outcomes of traumatic brain and spinal cord injury, damage to peripheral nerves—to optimize diagnostic, treatment, and rehabilitation approaches. The risk of neurotrauma accompanies a person throughout the ontogenesis, starting with delivery. In childhood, adolescence, and old age falling is the most common mechanism of injury, whereas in a working age traffic accidents are more often responsible for brain trauma. The aging of the body leads to a decrease in the adaptive capacity of the injured nervous system. Scientific research on craniocerebral trauma mechanisms, manifestations, and consequences is among the most important in neurosurgery. In the 19th century, the relationship between the functions of the nervous system and their dominant location was demonstrated on the animal models under experimental conditions. In the middle of the 20th century, a series of post-mortem studies were performed to define the morphological substrate of craniocerebral trauma in detail and to identify diffuse-axonal damage as its separate type. The knowledge of the focal and diffuse brain injuries, changes of intracranial volume, cerebral blood flow, and metabolism in acute brain injury has been dramatically improved with the development of diagnostic methods, in particular, neuroimaging and neuromonitoring. Thus, in the last decades of the 20th century, the concept of primary and secondary brain damage was established. The introduction of the evidence-based principles in research and clinical practice in the late 20th–early 21st century enabled to determine the most effective intensive care and surgical strategies and to develop scientifically sound guidelines for the COMMENTARY 15 Downloaded by 62.141.76.244 from www.liebertpub.com at 09/25/18.

At the same time, previously poorly studied conditions, such as the vegetative state and the state of minimal consciousness, were described, and brain injury classifications emerged based on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. The Journal of Neurotrauma has been covered the most important issues in neurotraumatology for 35 years, discovering new knowledge in traumatic brain injury. At the very start of its history, the Journal mostly contained the results of experimental research. However, publishing clinical studies later had significantly expanded the spectrum of its readers. The founder and the Editorin-Chief of the Journal–John T. Povlishock–is one of the most productive researchers in the field of neurotraumatology. Today, the Journal has a high rating and a solid history and remains one of the most important journals bearing a great impact on the professional community. We would like to congratulate the Editor-inChief, the Editorial Board, the authors, and the readers of the Journal on its 35th Anniversary, the glorious history, the brilliant present, and the great perspective!
