Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The nervous system plays an important role in the functioning of animals, and is involved in diverse functions, including sight, touch, smell, memory, and emotion control. This system is composed of various neuronal and non-neuronal cells that perfectly control the processes that occur in an animal’s body. To date, many studies have reported the discovery new drugs that inhibit neuronal cell death and regenerate neuronal cells. However, these drugs are limited in their ability to treat many neurological diseases, including dementia and depression. In this Special Issue, we aim to examine the application of natural products to the control of various neurological disorders. Researchers must aim to discover natural products with potential for treating central and peripheral nervous system diseases and discuss their applicability as therapeutic agents. Natural products contain various phytochemicals, the diversity of which could suggest their multi-functional potential; thus, their antioxidant effects should be discussed. It is important that researchers seek natural product-based therapeutic approaches to diseases that occur in nerve cells and the nervous system, including in the cerebral, optic, sensory, and olfactory nerves. We encourage authors to submit research on the treatment of neurological diseases using natural products.
Topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Mechanism of optic nerve damage caused by glaucoma;
- The discovery of new drugs that modulate excitatory neurotransmitter receptors;
- The discovery of new drugs that modulate inhibitory neurotransmitter receptors;
- The discovery of new drugs that regulate ion channels;
- The discovery of pain control drugs;
- The discovery of new drugs for Alzheimer's disease;
- The discovery of new drugs for depression;
- Novel mechanisms of nervous system injury.
