Non-Invasive Brain Stimulation for Brain Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

Non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) techniques, such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), have rapidly evolved from experimental tools to promising therapeutic interventions for a range of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Historically rooted in neurophysiology, NIBS now stands at the forefront of neuromodulation research, offering potential relief where conventional treatments fall short.

This Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements in NIBS, focusing on its clinical applications, mechanistic insights, and emerging methodologies. We seek to highlight cutting-edge research that bridges basic science and clinical practice, advancing our understanding of brain function and dysfunction.

We invite original research articles, reviews, and methodological papers that explore novel stimulation protocols, personalized approaches, multimodal integration, and long-term outcomes in various brain disorders. Contributions that address both efficacy and safety, as well as those integrating neuroimaging or computational modeling, are especially encouraged.

Dr. Giovanni Cirillo

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
