Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There have been extensive studies of experience-based neural plasticity exploring effective applications of brain plasticity for cognitive and motor development. From a developmental point of view, the assumption of lifespan brain plasticity has been extended to older adults in terms of the benefits of cognitive training and physical therapy.
This special issue aim to study plasticity and wide-scale interactions within motor circuits in normal aging and in patients with movement disorders, according to several modulatory factors and by using a multi-modal approach. You are encouraged to submit for this special issue regardless of the research methods. Do not hesitate to contact the editor should you have any further inquiry about the scoop of this special issue.
