Microanatomical and Molecular Updates on Brain Aging

Dear Colleagues,

Recent and ongoing technological innovations have led to a ‘resolution revolution’ in the field of biology. As a result of this, new knowledge is increasing at a rapid pace and is bringing many new insights pertaining to the pathophysiology of brain diseases. With several updates in microscopy capabilities and associated revisions in neuroanatomical, neurophysiological, and neuroimmunological concepts, it is crucial to consolidate and share this new knowledge. This Special Issue focuses on the current state of the field and will highlight novel concepts and updates pertaining to brain structure and molecular changes observed in health, aging, and disease. Researchers are invited to share new articles, commentaries, and/or reviews concerning molecular, microanatomical, genetic, and/or neuroimmune-related changes observable by microscopy that are involved in brain health, development, aging, and disease. Novel cases and exploratory work are particularly encouraged.

We look forward to receiving your contributions to this Special Issue, which will compile fresh data and ideas in an exciting and fast moving field.

Dr. Rupal Mehta
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.
