Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Over the past decade, the application of artificial intelligence in medicine and neuroscience has undergone exponential growth. Advances in big data acquisition and deep learning models have revolutionized aging neuroscience methodologies, particularly in the following areas: 1) the early detection and diagnosis of neurodegenerative conditions, 2) data fusion and processing in multi-modal neuroscientific data, 3) AI-powered cognitive and behavioral modeling, 4) drug discovery and development, and 5) chatbot applications and robotic assistance for independent living.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a comprehensive roadmap highlighting perspectives and challenges regarding AI methodologies in aging neuroscience. We welcome articles of all types that offer valuable insights into the following domains:
- Identification of subtle patterns in neuroscientific data indicative of the onset of neurodegeneration;
- AI tools for more accurate functional and structural mapping of age-related physiological and pathological changes;
- Machine learning techniques for improving predictions of chronological aging;
- AI-powered outcome measures for evaluating interventions and drugs aimed at preventing or delaying the onset of neurodegeneration;
- Chatbots, robotic systems, and generative AI applications that promote active and healthy aging;
- Natural Language Processing models serving as coaching or recommendation systems in both physiological and pathological aging.

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. 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.
