Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation in Neurological Diseases and Neurorehabilitation

Dear Colleagues,

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) has emerged as a revolutionary approach in the treatment and rehabilitation of neurological diseases. Over the past few decades, methods such as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and other NIBS techniques have gained considerable attention for their ability to modulate brain activity without the need for invasive procedures. These techniques offer promising therapeutic options for a wide range of neurological conditions, including stroke, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and chronic pain, among others.

The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together pioneering research that highlights the latest advancements in NIBS and its application in neurorehabilitation. We seek to explore the underlying mechanisms, optimal parameters, and innovative strategies that enhance the efficacy of these techniques. By providing a platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge research, we hope to push the boundaries of how NIBS can be utilized in clinical settings to improve patient outcomes.

We are particularly interested in papers that delve into the following areas:

• Mechanistic studies that elucidate the physiological effects of NIBS on the brain and nervous system.
• Clinical trials and studies that evaluate the efficacy of NIBS in various neurological diseases.
• Novel approaches to optimizing stimulation parameters, including targeting specific brain regions or combining NIBS with other therapeutic interventions.
• Long-term effects and safety considerations of NIBS in both acute and chronic settings.
• Reviews and meta-analyses that summarize current knowledge and identify future research directions in this rapidly evolving field.

This Special Issue invites submissions from researchers and clinicians who are at the forefront of NIBS technology. Whether you are investigating new applications, refining existing techniques, or exploring the integration of NIBS with other therapeutic modalities, we welcome your contributions to this exciting and impactful area of neuroscience.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Brain Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
