Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Brain Sciences invites manuscript submissions related to “Effects of Stress, Exercise, and Diet on Neuroplasticity and Development Across the Lifespan” and the associated keywords provided. We encourage submissions spanning basic science, survey studies, and all phases of intervention trials; we are also open to both original research and literature reviews. Of note, we are considering “stress” to be inclusive of both perceived stress (e.g., patient-reported outcomes) and physiological stress (e.g., homeostatic disruption and neural circuitry activation). We are particularly interested in reports that examine key development periods, such as perinatal, childhood/adolescence, young adulthood, and geriatric age, as well as investigations with applications for chronic-disease populations.
