Cognitive neurorehabilitation is rooted both in the cognitive function being treated and the neural substrates underlying that ability. Recent progress in understanding both brain (in particular brain plasticity) and the complexities of behaviour imply a promising future for cognitive neurorehabilitation. The manuscripts in this issue focuse on advances in the use of non-invasive brain stimulation (NIBS) as a tool for cognitive neurorehabilitation. This paper presents a broader context in which to understand the importance and potential of this specific approach. Achieving the promise requires theoretical and experimental rigour including selection of relevant outcome measures, and understanding of the complexities of individual patients. Success will depend on our ability to integrate knowledge and approaches.
认知神经康复既根植于所治疗的认知功能，也根植于该能力的神经基础。对大脑（特别是大脑可塑性）和行为复杂性的理解的最新进展为认知神经康复带来了充满希望的未来。本期特刊中的文章重点介绍了将非侵入性脑刺激（NIBS）用作认知神经康复工具的进展。本文提供了一个更广泛的背景，以了解这种特定方法的重要性和潜力。要实现这一目标，需要理论和实验的严谨性，包括选择相关的结果测量，以及理解个体患者的复杂性。成功将取决于我们整合知识和方法的能力。
