Dear Colleagues,

The concept of neurophysiology-assisted Neurosurgery is well-established, and intraoperative neuromonitoring has rapidly become of routine use in many neurosurgical centers. Over the last 20 years, there have been many advances in the field of intraoperative monitoring. Intraoperative Neurophysiological methodologies for monitoring the nervous system can provide surgeons with real-time data that have been shown to correspond with post-operative neurological status. Over the past few years, novel neurophysiological monitoring and mapping techniques have emerged, particularly with regards to the intraoperative mapping of subcortical connectivity, both in the awake and asleep setting, as well as the monitoring of brainstem reflexes, spinal cord mapping, and intraoperative neurophysiology of the cerebellum.

This Special Issue will focus on recent methodologies that may either prove beneficial or are commonly used in neuromonitoring. The purpose is to describe the integration of neuromonitoring with surgical procedures.

This Special Issue is compiled for neurosurgeons, neurophysiologists, neurologists, anaesthesiologists, interventional neuroradiologists, orthopaedic surgeons, and plastic surgeons.

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 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. Journal of Clinical Medicine is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2600 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.
