Therapeutic (Rehabilitative) Exercise for Brain Ischemia

Call for Papers

Brain ischemia resulting from permanent or transient cerebral artery occlusion usually results in irreversible damage to brain cells and leads to motor function impairments. Exercise training has been suggested to be a behavioral intervention for brain recovery and plasticity after ischemic insult; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood.

We invite investigators to submit original research and review articles discussing the effects and possible mechanisms of novel therapeutic and/or rehabilitative exercise interventions on motor function improvement, brain recovery, and plasticity after brain ischemic insult. Both animal and clinical researches are welcome in this special issue. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• New findings from animal studies and clinical trials on exercise intervention in brain ischemia
• Mechanisms of motor recovery and brain plasticity after exercise intervention in brain ischemia
• Mechanisms of memory recovery after exercise intervention in brain ischemia
• Changes in rTMS, EEG, and EMG signals after exercise training for clinical research
• Changes in oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and cell survivor after exercise training in brain ischemia

Before submission authors should carefully read over the journal's Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.hindawi.com/journals/srt/guidelines/. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal Manuscript Tracking System at http://mts.hindawi.com/submit/journals/srt/tebi/ according to the following timetable:
