Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This year marks the 90th anniversary of Ramón y Cajal’s passing. We wish to honour the father of neuroscience with this Special Issue.
Perfectioning Golgi’s staining, Cajal precisely depicted the architecture of neuronal connections, combining his talent for drawing and his devotion to histology. After sharing the Nobel Prize with Camillo Golgi in 1906, Cajal shed light on the contiguous nature of neurons, which he called “the mysterious butterflies of the soul”. He succeeded in tracing, for the first time, the propagation of the nerve impulse through dynamic polarization, advancing brain function research. Beyond his invaluable scientific contributions, which made him a pioneer of modern neuroscience, Cajal merits to be remembered for his fervent enthusiasm, restless work and unconditioned devotion to research. He provided us with powerful tools to explore neuronal connections, inspiring further research.
In order to celebrate Cajal, we invite scholars to contribute original research articles, reviews and perspectives related to neurobiology achievements, but also to innovative laboratory techniques, fundamental and translational research, therapeutic targets, and strategies for understanding the complexities of healthy and damaged nervous systems.
Dr. Maria A. Bonifacio

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. Biomedicines 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).
