Special Issue Information
Dear Colleague,
This Special Issue “Neuro-Nutrition and Brain Health: Role of Diet, Metabolism and Bioactive Molecules” aims to highlight the latest breakthroughs in understanding the complex interplay between nutrition and brain health.
The consumption of healthy foods plays a vital role in supporting not only physical health but also mood regulation and longevity. Diets rich in brain-supportive nutrients, such as omega-3 fatty acids and B vitamins, have been shown to enhance cognitive function, promote neuroprotection, and reduce the risk of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Disruptions in energy supply, metabolic pathways, or the production and function of bioactive metabolites can impair the delicate balance of neuro-nutruion, leading to dysfunctions in neurons, neural ciruits, and broader brain networks.
This Special Issue welcomes original research articles and comprehensive reviews that examine how specific nutritional components affect neuronal function and brain health. We encourage submissions exploring topics such as feeding patterns, metabolic regulation, and the roles of bioactive molecules across different stages of the lifespan.
Dr. Yuanzhong Xu
Guest Editor
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.
