Disorders of the Central Nervous System (CNS) and Peripheral Nervous System (PNS)

Dear Colleagues,

The central and peripheral nervous systems are composed of an intricate network of neurons supported by various glial cells. The connection between brain cells within this network are meticulously regulated and strengthened based on the needs of the organism.

Many diseases and disorders disrupt the cellular circuitry within the nervous system, resulting in debilitating psychological and neurological symptoms.

This Special Issue focuses on reviews and original research articles that help gather details about cellular, molecular, and systems disruptions to the nervous system, both in the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).

We aim to bring together new research across various models, like human brain imaging, murine neuroscience, invertebrate electrophysiology, neurobiology, and computational modeling to provide a multidisciplinary approach for studying physiological and pathological aspects of nervous system function.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
