Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The discovery and study of highly selective neurotoxins during the past 60 years has provided a valuable means to animal-model a number of human neurological and psychiatric disorders. Ever-expansive methodologies have provided the means to recognize the myriad cellular adversities of these toxins as well as cellular adaptations to injury. Now-identified changes in companion neural and glial events give a clearer picture of how heterotypic neural systems adjust to phenotypically specific neurotoxicity. Changes in the behavioral repertoire signal the association with a human condition.
This Special Issue of Biomolecules is intended to provide further insight into neurotoxic processes in some of the most significant models of human neurologic and psychiatric conditions. The ultimate goal is to evoke further study into the animal modeling of human neural disorders, directed towards the ultimate discovery of better treatments, and the recovery of people so afflicted by the systems under study.

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. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
