Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, the field of neuromodulation has witnessed remarkable advancements, offering unprecedented insights into the intricate workings of the brain and its role in impulsive behaviors and addictive tendencies, defining the basis for a translational approach and treatment application of these techniques.
This Special Issue brings together cutting-edge research and clinical perspectives to unravel the complexities of impulsive disorders and behavioral addiction, shedding light on innovative approaches utilizing brain stimulation treatments. From deep brain stimulation to transcranial magnetic stimulation and photobiomodulation, contributors should also aim to understand brain stimulation’s impact on neural circuits implicated in impulsivity and addictive behaviors.
As we navigate the frontiers of brain stimulation, this collection of articles will explore the potential for novel therapeutic interventions. Manuscripts about cognitive or affective TMS investigations with a potential translational approach are welcome. Researchers and clinicians alike will find valuable insights into the neural mechanisms underpinning impulsive disorders and behavioral addiction, along with the latest advancements in brain stimulation technologies and their clinical applications.
Prof. Dr. Stefano Pallanti
