Brain Neurotransmitters in Genetic Control of Behavior 2.0

Dear Colleagues,

A Special Issue entitled “Brain Neurotransmitters in Genetic Control of Behavior" is being prepared for the IJMS journal. Brain neurotransmitters are playing crucial roles in the mechanisms of brain and behavioral plasticity. Enzymes, transporters and receptors of brain neurotransmitters are under the control of various genetic and epigenetic factors. Moreover, the majority of proteins could undergo different posttranslational modifications that significantly affect their function.

This Special Issue focuses on the role of brain neurotransmitters in the regulation of normal and pathological behavior as well as genetic predisposition to behavioral disorders. We warmly welcome submissions, including original papers and reviews dealing with different aspects of neurotransmitters contribution in behavioral control.

Prof. Dr. Nina K. Popova

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. 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.
