Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
As you are aware, neurological diseases exert a major societal and financial burden worldwide and remain a major cause of disability. With population expansion and greater life expectancies, the overall burden of neurological diseases is increasing. Promising strides have been made in solving the jigsaw puzzle of the molecular mechanisms on many of them providing insights into the etiopathology of the diseases, how the disease progresses, etc. This knowledge furthers our overarching goal of how to best tackle the disease pathogenesis producing symptom alleviation or in best case scenario, the magic word, a cure. This special issue focuses on new and fast developing knowledge base about the disease mechanisms and therapeutic approaches for neurological diseases.
This issue intends to highlight the advances made in our understanding of the disease processes as well as provide a cumulative summary of the new and existing therapies for neurological diseases. With this issue we hope to provide a comprehensive roadmap of the landscape in neurological diseases for the broad readership of the journal.

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.
