The journal Neural Plasticity has issued a call for manuscripts that explore the relationship of sleep, exercise, disease, and/or inflammation with brain plasticity.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Sleep and sleep loss induced changes in mood and cognition
- Role of enhanced waking activity/sleep deprivation in modulating inflammation
- Inflammation-related molecules and mechanisms that modulate sleep and electroencephalogram power
- Effects of exercise/physical activity on brain plasticity
- Exercise/physical activity effects on inflammatory- or brain plasticity-related molecules
- Inflammatory molecules/mechanism modulating brain plasticity or cognition
- Behavior-related changes in cerebral blood flow and/or the fMRI signal
- Cerebral blood flow changes affecting brain plasticity
- Latest technologies for clinical evaluation of inflammatory mediators in brain plasticity
- Role of inflammatory-related diseases affecting brain plasticity
