Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurodegeneration caused by the deregulation of different cell death mechanisms is a common feature of all diseases and injuries in the nervous system. The identification of deregulated cell death mechanisms and their regulation by pharmacological and technological means may promote neurological and cognitive functions. Recent advances in molecular and cellular neuroscience, alongside technological breakthroughs, could enable the achievement of functional neuroprotection in major neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), epilepsy or seizure disorder (SD), Huntington’s disease (HD), Parkinson’s disease (PD), and multiple sclerosis (MS), and injuries such as traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury (SCI), and ischemic brain injury (IBI).
This Special Issue of Brain Sciences will consider all aspects of molecular and cellular neuroscience research concerning the regulation of cell death mechanisms for functional neuroprotection in any major neurological diseases and injuries. Investigators in the field of Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience are cordially invited to submit their innovative research and review articles to this exciting Special Issue of Brain Sciences. We sincerely hope that today’s breakthroughs in preclinical research will bring tomorrow’s treatments to the clinic in order to provide functional neuroprotection in all diseases and injuries of the nervous system.
Prof. Dr. Swapan K. Ray

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. Brain Sciences 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 2200 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.
