    AbstractRecent years have witnessed a dramatic increase in publications implicating free radicals and oxidative stress in virtually every aspect of biology and medicine. Redox Neurology may be defined as the study of the roles of free radicals, transition metals, oxidative stress, and antioxidant defenses in diseases of the nervous system. In this position paper, an argument is presented for recognition of this field as an emerging subspecialty within medical neurology. A program for postresidency fellowship training in Redox Neurology that integrates laboratory experience with specialized clinical practice is proposed. Opportunities for research and teaching careers in the redox neurosciences are outlined. The paper concludes with a forecast of several research themes likely to preoccupy this nascent discipline in the days ahead.
