Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The interaction between the immune system and the central nervous system is a dynamic process that contributes to the pathophysiology of neurological disorders. The neuro-immune crosstalk orchestrates a wide range of physiological processes, including tissue homeostasis, repair, and brain function. The aim of the present Special Issue is to collect original articles and reviews aimed at highlighting the role of immunomodulation in the neurological disorders of the central nervous system. How does immune responses and immunomodulation treatment affect neuron and glial cell function, behavior, learning, neurogenesis, and the neuro-immune interaction in central nervous systems are important research topics to understand the pathophysiology of neurological disorders.
Researches describing (i) novel neuro-immune interaction signals and pathways, (ii) neuro-immune interaction mechanisms underlying disease pathogenesis, (iii) the mechanism of therapeutic treatment that affects immune responses in neurological disease, (iv) Actions of cytokines in inflammatory responses in stroke or other types of CNS disorder disease, (v) Regulation of brain injury by the activation of immune responses are the main focus of this Special Issue. This research will elucidate the physiological mechanisms of neurological disorders development and immunomodulation treatment.

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. Life is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
