Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Intracranial aneurysms (IAs) remain a significant health issue, but with increased awareness, early detection, and advances in technology, outcomes can be greatly improved. Consequently, this Special Issue will discuss the natural history of IAs and recent advances in brain aneurysm research.
Researchers are making significant strides, particularly in the areas of diagnosis, minimally invasive treatment options, and potential drug therapies, while artificial intelligence (AI)-powered software integrated with imaging techniques promises to enhance both diagnostic and treatment processes, such as early aneurysm detection and predicting the risk of aneurysm rupture.
Preventative strategies such as risk factor management, dietary and lifestyle modification, public education that raises awareness of aneurysm symptoms, and the use of proactive screening are crucial steps toward improving outcomes.
In conclusion, IA research is rapidly advancing, driven by innovations in AI, minimally invasive treatment options, and better understanding of the molecular mechanisms behind the formation and rupture of IAs. Public education also plays a pivotal role in enhancing the management of this complex condition.

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.
