Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Addiction refers to a state characterized by a chronic and compulsive involvement in either using a substance or engaging in a behavior despite adverse consequences. Addiction involves complex interactions among various factors including neural, genetic, psychological, social, and environmental factors. While numerous studies have attempted to elucidate structural and functional correlates of addiction, a comprehensive model explaining the neurobiological and neurocognitive mechanisms underlying addiction is still lacking. This Special Issue will serve as a platform to host a range of articles related to the neural basis of addiction. The goal of this Special Issue is to publish articles from researchers who are engaged in research aimed at understanding the structural and functional correlates of addiction. The Special Issue will prioritize publishing a collection of novel and cutting-edge research articles relevant to this goal. Both human and animal studies that aim to understand brain structural and functional correlations of substance or behavioral addiction are solicited. Studies that use EEG, structural and functional MRI, and other imaging methods are preferred. Neuropsychological, cognitive, and behavioral studies that explore functional aspects of addiction are also welcome for submission. Brain stimulation and neuromodulation studies on addiction, including multimodal studies involving different experimental methods, will also be considered, as will review articles that integrate relevant findings from the literature.

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.
