The Effect of Nutrients on Neurological Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

Recent findings clearly demonstrate that dietary patterns as well nutritional compounds play key roles on the onset and progression of neurological disorders, including genetic predisposition to develop neuronal cancers as well sporadic neurodegenerative diseases. The goal of this Special Issue is to provide new insight into the role of dietary patterns as well as micro and macro nutrients in relation to the onset and progression of neurological diseases. We aim to gather articles analyzing the molecular mechanisms regulated by defined nutritional compounds, including both micro and macro nutrients. Furthermore, this Special Issue aims to present articles analyzing the effect of nutrients both on the neuronal system and microbiome, since the gut–brain axis is important for the progression of neurological diseases. This Special Issue aims to provide research articles as well reviews that explore the role of nutrients and dietary patterns in modulating microbiome and the gut–brain axis as well the molecular mechanisms directly regulating the nervous system.

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. Nutrients is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
