Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Different neurological disorders arise due to inappropriate safeguarding of the central nervous system, which may cause neurological damage. Neuronal damage can be caused by both acute (e.g., trauma or stroke) or chronic neurodegenerative disorders (dementia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, etc.). Although these diseases have different pathological pathways and biomarkers, they share the common clinical symptoms of cognitive impairment. Patients suffering from such neurological damages have long-lasting or permanent cognitive deficits. Hence, the prophylaxis approach of neuroprotection plays an important role for specific mechanisms and strategies to protect the neurons against injury and outcomes of cognitive deficit. Apart from neuronal damage protection, neuroprotection ameliorates the neuropsychiatric and other neurophysiological alterations which manifest cognitive deficits.
This Special Issue, entitled“Recent Advances in Neuroprotection and Cognition”, invites original and review articles to provide recent updates on neuroprotection, considering the special focus on the molecular mechanism of neuroprotection against neurological disorders (including preclinical, clinical, biomarkers analysis, meta-analysis, pharmaceutical applications, etc.).

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.
