Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Towards a better understanding of neurological diseases, we would like to invite authors to publish their research (original articles or reviews) in a Special Issue in Genes. We wish to put emphasis on the following themes:
- Sequencing of underrepresented human ethnicities and the discovery of new gene(s) associated with neurological diseases;
- Epigenetic modifications (DNA methylation, histone methylation, etc.) associated with neurological disease, including (but not limited to) those caused by environmental factors;
- Cell and animal modelling of neurological diseases to uncover new pathological mechanisms and treatment strategies;
- Deciphering cell-autonomous and non-cell-autonomous mechanisms of neurological disease.
Dr. Julien Philippe
Guest Editor
