Brain Health

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the launch of a Special Issue entitled “Brain Health” in the MDPI journal Clinical and Translational Neuroscience.

Our brain plays a crucial role in all aspects of our lives; it is essential for cognitive, motor, and sensory functions, as well as our experiences, emotions, and behavior. In addition, it influences vascular, endocrine, and immunological processes in our body. Ultimately, the brain and its health are essential for our individual (physical, mental, social, and spiritual) wellbeing, for unlocking our potential (in terms of knowledge, skills, and creativity) as individuals, and for the sustainable development of a fair, well-functioning, and productive society.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and recent peer-reviewed publications, more than one in three people is affected by a neurological disorder (ND), and at least one in three is affected by a mental (psychiatric) disorder (MD). Brain disorders surpass cardiovascular disorders and cancer combined in terms of disability, mortality, and costs.

The “Brain Health” Special Issue is dedicated to not only advancing basic and translational knowledge, but also to fostering international collaborations and initiatives to promote brain health and science-based prevention of brain disorders throughout the life course for all people worldwide.

We eagerly await your submissions to contribute to this crucial conversation about brain health.

Warm regards,

Dr. Lukas Sveikata
Prof. Dr. Susanne Wegener
