Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The following Special Issue, “Molecular Advances in Mental Disorders”, delves into the latest scientific breakthroughs that are reshaping our understanding of mental health conditions at the molecular level. With the advent of advanced molecular biology techniques, researchers are uncovering the intricate biochemical and genetic mechanisms underlying various mental disorders, offering new avenues for diagnosis, treatment, and prevention. The following Specail Issue will include a wide range of topics—genetic and epigenetic insights, neurotransmitter systems, biomarkers for early diagnosis, molecular therapeutics, neuroinflammation and immune response, and lastly neural circuit and synaptic plasticity. The convergence of molecular biology and mental health research holds promise for transforming the diagnosis and treatment of mental disorders. This Special Issue underscores the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration and continued investment in molecular research to unravel the complexities of mental health conditions. By advancing our molecular understanding, we move closer to a future where mental disorders can be managed with greater precision and efficacy. “Molecular Advances in Mental Disorders” offers a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art research in this rapidly evolving field. The insights gained from these studies pave the way for innovative treatments and improved outcomes for individuals affected by mental health conditions. This Special Issue is a testament to the transformative potential of molecular research in addressing the profound challenges posed by mental disorders.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
