Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recent advances in biomedical engineering, imaging, and computational modeling have catalyzed a paradigm shift in neurosurgical practice. Consequently, this Special Issue, Novel Techniques for Neurosurgery, aims to highlight the cutting-edge developments that are transforming diagnostic, therapeutic, and rehabilitative strategies in neurosurgery. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, extended reality (AR/VR/MR), surgical simulation using 3D modeling, robot-assisted neurosurgery, intraoperative neuroimaging, neuromodulation technologies, and novel bioengineering approaches for neural tissue repair. Special attention will be paid to interdisciplinary methods that integrate artificial intelligence, biomedical imaging, and digital technologies to improve neurosurgical precision and patient outcomes.
We welcome original research articles, reviews, and technical notes that focus on innovative tools, technologies, and methodologies applied in cranial and spinal neurosurgery. The objective is to foster a multidisciplinary dialog between clinicians, scientists, and engineers to advance the field through collaborative innovation.

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. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2400 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.
