Nutrition Research in Brain and Neuroscience

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue aims to explore the dynamic and evolving intersection between nutrition and brain health, emphasizing how dietary components influence neurological development, function, and disease. We seek to gather high-quality original research, reviews, and clinical studies that illuminate the role of nutrients, dietary patterns, and metabolic processes in shaping cognitive performance, mental health, neuroprotection, and neurodegenerative disorders.

Topics of interest include but are not limited to the gut–brain axis, neuroinflammation, the impact of specific nutrients (e.g., omega-3 fatty acids, polyphenols, vitamins) on brain function, nutritional interventions in neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease, depression), and mechanisms linking diet to neural plasticity and aging.

The goal is to provide a comprehensive overview of current findings and foster interdisciplinary dialog among neuroscientists, nutritionists, clinicians, and public health researchers. Contributions that integrate molecular, clinical, and epidemiological perspectives are especially encouraged.

Dr. Loredana Raciti

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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.
