Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chronic stress is now known to be associated with multiple disorders and diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease, depressive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, cognitive disorders. Until recently, how chronic stress affects the brain molecularly and functionally was investigated by analyzing the function of one or a small number of molecules in the brain of research animals or in the human blood. The development of scientific technologies, such as next-generation sequencing and advanced statistical and bioinformatics methods, has allowed scientists to explore and start to understand how chronic stress globally affects brain functions. In addition, these recently developed techniques and methods are greatly helping scientists decipher the omics-based molecular mechanisms of chronic stress-induced changes in cognitive functions including memory consolidation, memory retrieval, and learning processes. For this Special Issue, we encourage authors to submit original research and review articles to update our current understanding of omics-based (genomics, transcriptomics, epigenetics, proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics) molecular mechanisms of cognitive processes under stress.

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.
