This study explored the relationships between personality traits, social network size (SNS) and perceived loneliness in this population.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sixty-eight individuals diagnosed with a neurological condition participated in this study. Perceived loneliness was assessed using the UCLA Loneliness Scale \u2013 Version 3, SNS was evaluated by the Social Network Index and personality traits were examined using the NEO Factor Five Inventory.
