Pathogenesis of Diseases of the Central Nervous System

Dear Colleagues,

Physiology disbalance and pathogenesis of the central nervous system play an important role in the quality of people’s life and aging. In this sense, determining the pathways followed by the different pathologies of central nervous system diseases is crucial to prevent and treat them. This Special Issue is focused on the pathogenesis of diseases of the central nervous system, and it would include original works on aspects related with molecular mechanisms of physical and chemical insults, neuronal excitotoxicity, neuronal dysfunction, Alzheimer´s disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, ischemia, nephropathy, brain atrophies, acute injuries, neurogenesis, and central nervous system treatments, among others. This Special Issue will publish original research articles as well as mini and full reviews, including perspectives in the field on the current understanding of molecular mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of diseases of the central nervous system. Manuscripts on molecular mechanisms, the introduction of ideas for new therapies or new techniques for diagnosis, and on treatment of diseases of the central nervous system are welcome.

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-anonymized 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.
