Personalized Medicine in Neuroscience: Molecular to Systems Approach

Dear Colleagues, 

The precision medicine paradigm has emerged as a new platform to connect disparate layers of the knowledge network and integrate information from different subfields of neuroscience. Once the layer of behavioral analysis is improved through precision phenotyping, this emerging platform could provide a roadmap for personalized diagnoses and treatments of neuropsychiatric and neurological disorders’ subtypes, tracked across the human lifespan.

Combining advances in neuroscience with those of other contemporary revolutions, such as genomics and wearable biosensors, the new personalized approach offers new ways to integrate translational and basic research towards improvements in mental and physical health, tailored to societal strata and ultimately to the individual. In the basic science arena, these new methods could help uncover causal mechanistic explanations of brain–body phenomena through objective means that go beyond observation, description, and opinion. In the areas of translation and commercialization, new personalized approaches could offer better ways to diagnose, treat, manage, and track diseases at scale from the comfort of homes, schools, or clinics with the help of research labs.

This new Special Issue seeks papers that explore different areas of research across neuroscience, spanning from molecules to complex social behaviors, aiming at potentially improving medical practices while building new collaborative bridges to scale research and empower patients, researchers, and practicing clinicians.

Submit your paper to the Journal of Personalized Medicine and be part of this new neuroscience-informed clinical revolution.

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 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. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Personalized Medicine 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.
