Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Animal Models for Neuropsychiatric Disorder Research”, will mainly focus on the importance of animal models in both basic and applied research, on the description of novel animal models, and innovative applications using the recognized models for neuropsychiatric disorders (NDs) research.
The topics addressed in this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Neurophysiopathological mechanisms of common and rare NDs;
- Mechanistic and pharmacological aspects of neuropsychiatric comorbidities in chronic diseases and of disorders co-occurring with NDs;
- The roles of oxidative stress and inflammation in NDs and comorbidities;
- Extraneuronal manifestations of NDs;
- Pharmacokinetic and neurophysiological descriptions of innovative animal models;
- Biomedicines offering promising results in neuropsychiatric disorders’ treatment and management.
We invite authors to submit original research, presenting their innovative work in animal model research in NDs and good quality review articles dealing with various controversies in animal model research.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
