Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Significant advances in next-generation nucleic acid sequencing systems have revealed the causes of many neurological disorders and their syndromes due to previously unexpected mutations in protein-encoding genes and non-coding RNAs. In addition, it has been determined familial mutations and fragility mutations in prominent neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease, as well as tumors derived from ectoderm, cause these diseases or increase the possibility of developing pathological conditions. Therefore, in this Special Issue, research on the gene mutations and fragility mutations related to the causes of new human neurological diseases, how these gene mutations lead to diseases, or new therapeutic methods for neurological diseases caused by existing mutations will be focused on in vitro studies and reviews using cell lines and disease-derived cells, and in vivo studies and reviews that clarify using experimental animals such as flies, zebrafish, and mice. However, not limited to the scope of these studies, we would like to cover a wide range of research on hereditary mutations.

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. Neurology International is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 1600 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.

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.
