Neurosurgery and Neuroanatomy

Dear Colleagues,

Neurosurgery has three legs: research, patient care, and education. The overarching goal of the Special Issue entitled “Neurosurgery and Neuroanatomy” is to build a bridge between these legs and bring together neuroscientists, clinicians, and neuroanatomists. Neuroanatomy is essential for understanding the etiopathogenesis of central nervous system disorders; neuropathology; neuroimaging studies; advancing the new technologies; enhancing the safety, efficacy, and precision of modern operative techniques; and resident teaching.

We invite authors to submit their original papers about neurosurgery and neuroanatomy to Brain Sciences (IF:3.3, SCIE, and Q2).

This Special Issue will highlight the descriptive neurosurgical anatomy (skull base, vascular, internal structures, spine, etc.), human neuroscientific molecular anatomy, minimally invasive surgical techniques, neuroimaging studies (MRI, DSA, DTI, etc.), neuropathology, intraoperative visualization technologies, functional neurosurgical procedures (deep brain stimulation, focused ultrasound, etc.), human clinical research studies, and literature review.
