Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The benefits of normal sleep to cognitive performance and the underlying neuroscience of such benefits have been the topic of extensive research in recent years. Despite the documented cognitive impairment that disruption to sleep causes, the neural processes linking sleep disruption to cognitive impairment in situations of sleep deprivation or sleep disorder have received comparatively little attention. A thorough investigation of such processes will advance our understanding of the cognitive implications of specific disruption to sleep, aid the development of effective interventions, and provide a more comprehensive understanding of the neural mechanisms underpinning the contribution of sleep to cognition.
This Special Issue invites manuscripts that utilize state-of-the-art neuroimaging techniques to investigate the mechanisms linking sleep disturbance and cognitive impairment. Sleep disturbance can be broadly defined as sleep disorders and disruption to sleep caused by external factors-such as work-related sleep loss or experimentally-induced sleep deprivation.

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.
