Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurological disorders can affect the structure or function of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves; they include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, and various psychiatric disorders. Drug discovery for these disorders.
Drug discovery for neurological disorders is a complex and time-consuming process that involves identifying and developing compounds to treat conditions that affect the nervous system. Research may involve biophysical aspects such as drug design, nanobiophysics, molecular structure, molecular simulation/modelling, and molecular dynamics. Despite its challenges, breakthroughs in understanding biophysical aspects of drug discovery in disorders are driving innovation in this field.
Original research articles and comprehensive reviews related to biophysical aspects of drug discovery in neurological disorders are welcome for this Special Issue.
Dr. Ciria C. Hernandez

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. Biophysica is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
