Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neuronal networks are fundamental components of the nervous system, comprising tightly regulated molecular and cellular processes such as synaptic signaling, ion channel dynamics, and intracellular signaling cascades. Neural networks link gene expression, protein interactions, and intercellular communication to higher-order neural functions. Unraveling these mechanisms is a central challenge in molecular biology. Recent advances in molecular biology techniques, coupled with new tools such as machine learning and AI tools, are accelerating progress in this field.
This Special Issue will focus on cutting-edge research at the intersection of molecular neurobiology and neural networks, specifically examining the impact of molecular and cellular interactions on neural networks in health and disease. We welcome original research, reviews, case reports, and perspectives that provide new molecular insights into the organization, regulation, and dysfunction of neural networks.

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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.
