Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, a significant number of brand-new technologies and the updated and deeper understanding of brain physiology and functional anatomy were introduced in the everyday neurosurgical practice. As a matter of fact, to date, we strongly depend on technology and advanced techniques to resect intra-axial tumors. The role of awake surgery matched with intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring and intraoperative neuropsychological testing, to intraoperatively test cognitive and motor functions in order to map their localization on the cortical surface and preserve their integrity during glioma resection, as much as the role of neuronavigation systems and neuronavigated 3D tractography to visualize the eloquent white matter tracts are some examples.
In the present Special Issue, submissions are welcome on the role of new techniques and technologies improving the preoperative, intraoperative, and postoperative care of patients suffering from lesions involving the brain and spinal cord.

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.
