Brain Neurotransmitters in Genetic Control of Behavior 2.0

This special issue belongs to the section “Molecular Neurobiology“.

Special Issue Information

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
Guest Editor

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. 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
