Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neuroplasticity is a process that involves adaptive structural and functional changes to the brain. It describes the ability of the nervous system to change its activity in response to intrinsic or extrinsic stimuli by reorganizing its structure, functions, or connections after injuries.
This Special Issue aims to delve into the underlying mechanisms of neural plasticity, including the molecular, cellular, and synaptic processes that drive these changes, as well as the therapeutic implications of understanding neural plasticity, such as potential treatments for neurological disorders, neurorehabilitation strategies, and the development of novel interventions to promote health and recovery. We encourage submissions of both original research articles and comprehensive review articles that bridge scientific discoveries with clinical applications.
Dr. Linlin Sun
