Celebrating 15 Years of Brain Connectivity!
I’m excited to share the latest cover of the scientific journal Brain Connectivity, featuring cutting-edge research from leading teams around the world. These studies explore how brain networks function, adapt, and recover—offering insights with real-world impact:
- Understanding actions and intentions – Lei Zhang and colleagues from Nanjing University reveal how different brain regions work together when we interpret others’ movements, with implications for social cognition and human-machine interaction.
- Making brain imaging more reliable – Elisabeth Caparelli and her team at The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), NIH (Baltimore) tackle a major challenge in neuroimaging analysis, introducing a new method to improve accuracy and reproducibility.
- Walking and thinking at the same time – Han-gil Jeong and researchers at Seoul National University examine how the brain manages movement and cognition simultaneously—important for fall prevention and rehabilitation.
- The cerebellum’s hidden role in stroke recovery – Joan Stilling and her team at Johns Hopkins University and Weill Cornell Medicine explore how cerebellar networks support language recovery, expanding our understanding of neuroplasticity.
Fifteen years ago, Brain Connectivity was founded to explore one of neuroscience’s biggest questions: how does the brain communicate within itself? Since then, I’ve had the privilege, as Editor-in-Chief, to witness remarkable progress—from fundamental discoveries to real-world clinical applications.
A huge thank you to our authors, reviewers, and the entire neuroscience community for driving this journal forward.
