Critical Issues in Motor Control and Sensory–Motor Integration

Dear Colleagues,

Motor control and sensorimotor integration are foundational to understanding human movement, development, and behavior. Historically rooted in neuroscience, psychology, and biomechanics, these fields have evolved with advances in neuroimaging, computational modeling, and neurorehabilitation. This Special Issue aims to highlight critical challenges and emerging paradigms in how the brain and body coordinate action and adapt to internal and external stimuli. We invite cutting-edge research that addresses mechanistic insights, theoretical frameworks, and applied perspectives across the lifespan and in both typical and atypical populations. Topics of interest include motor learning, plasticity, multisensory integration, neuromechanics, and innovative interventions. We welcome original research, reviews, and methodological papers that advance the field or challenge current models. Contributions that bridge disciplines or introduce novel technologies to the study of motor control and sensorimotor integration are especially encouraged.

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.
