Advances in Nervous System Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will highlight advances in the research of nervous system disorders, including stroke, trauma, headache, anxiety, depression, epilepsy, autism, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, Huntington’s disease, multiple sclerosis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and tumor.

We will welcome critical reviews and high-quality original research articles dedicated to the advances in our understanding of cellular and molecular mechanisms of neurological diseases, and to diagnostic and therapeutic advances in nervous system disorders. The related topics include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Cellular and molecular mechanisms of altered neurogenesis in brain disease;
• Microglia in neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration;
• Advances in brain organoid technologies and their applications;
• Crosstalk between cancer cells and the nervous system;
• Crosstalk between gut microbes and the nervous system;
• Transcriptomic and epigenomic analysis of nervous system disorders;
• Modeling nervous system disorders using human embryonic stem cells or induced pluripotent stem cells;
• Deep brain stimulation for neurological and psychiatric disorders;
• Diagnosing and screening nervous system disorders using artificial intelligence techniques;
• Gene therapy for nervous system disorders.

We look forward to reading your contributions.

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. Genes 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 2600 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.
