Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in -omics and sequencing technologies, even at the single-neuron level, enable the extraordinary multilevel profiling of neuronal physiology, responses to acute insults, pharmacological treatments, and pathological settings. In addition, genome-wide association studies have provided unprecedented insights into complex psychiatric conditions, such as schizophrenia and autism, among others, but also neurodegenerative diseases of the central and peripheral nervous systems.
As further advances are expected to yield even more and likely increasingly refined information on potential disease-linked polymorphisms and the global transcriptional, post-transcriptional, translational, and signaling responses of neurons, methods and experimental systems as well as models are needed to validate and expand these findings. This Special Issue of “Genomic Research in Neurobiology” will focus on, but will not be limited to, novel -omics technological developments and findings, their computational treatment, and novel model systems for their biological validation. In addition, we aim to host novel validated -omics approaches that enhance our understanding of hallmark physiological functions of the nervous system, such as the multiple types of learning and memory that characterize it.
This Special Issue is supervised by Prof. Dr. Efthimios M. C. Skoulakis, Dr. Katerina Papanikolopoulou and assisted by our Topical Advisory Panel Member Dr. Chih-Wei Zeng (University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center).

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.

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.
