We are pleased to invite you to participate in this special issue to explore multimodal electrophysiology-related data of clinical interest. Electrophysiology is the measurement of ionic flow, which can indicate whether a cell or tissue is healthy. This approach is widely used and applied in cardiology. However, despite its high accuracy and speed in diagnosis, this technique is not widely explored in the clinic to assist in the diagnosis of diseases and innovation in drug development, or for other areas. This special issue aims to discuss and explore precise molecular targets for diagnostic strategies (cardiology, central nervous system diseases) and coordinate drug development for specific pathologies, focusing on the clinical electrophysiology platform.
Original research articles and review articles are welcome. Areas of research may include (but are not limited to) the following: cardiology and diseases of the central nervous system. We look forward to receiving your contributions.

The student Claudia Daniele Bianco supervised by Profa. Dr. Ariane Zamoner Pacheco de Souza presented the work “Glyphosate increases cell proliferation and causes DNA damage in glioblastoma cell line”. The student Pedro Borges de Souza supervised by Prof. Dr. Ana Lúcia S. Rodrigues, presented the work “Physical exercise and/or agmatine have a prophylatic effect against depressive-like behavior induced by an inflammatory challenge in mice”. The student Melania Santer, supervised by Prof. Dr. Marcelo Farina presented the work “Metformin protects against iron overload through SKN-1 in C. elegans. Congratulations to the students and research groups!
Cognitive Training for the Idle with Smartphones: The outreach project coordinated by Prof. Dr. Alexandre Pastoris Muller (PPGBQA) aims to explore the use of resources on smartphones for cognitive training in the elderly. The apps are carefully selected and designed to work on different cognitive areas, such as memory, attention, language, logical reasoning, and visual skills. Besides, the project seeks to promote moments of interaction and entertainment, improving the participants’ quality of life.
