Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue will consist of selected papers from the 2018 Champalimaud Research Symposium on Quantitative Approaches to Behaviour and Neural Systems, October 23–26, 2018, Lisbon, Portugal. The Champalimaud Research Symposium is an annual international scientific event organized by the Champalimaud Foundation, taking place at its headquarters on the waterfront in Lisbon, Portugal.
The goal of this symposium is to define and address the challenges present in developing quantitative approaches to understanding the behaviour of organisms, the function and structure of their nervous systems, and the emergence of organization in complex adaptive systems. We aim to highlight approaches that combine experimental work with new theoretical frameworks and quantitative analysis, which we hope can reveal new principles on which to build the neuroscience and biology of the future. This Special Edition thus offers the opportunity for meeting attendees to contribute and publish research findings and perspectives in this area.
Primarily, selected papers from the 2018 Champalimaud Research Symposium on Quantitative Approaches to Behaviour and Neural Systems will be considered for publication. The papers submitted and selected for this Special Issue should neither have been previously published nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere, and are subject to a very rigorous peer-review process.

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. Cells is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

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.
