Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Neurological diseases are disorders that can affect the central or the peripheral nervous systems and can impair the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerve or neuromuscular function. They include amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, and autism spectrum disorder. Many specific causes can lead to neurological disorders such as tumors, degeneration, trauma, infections or structural defects, lifestyle or environmental health problems, with the involvement of different biochemical processes.
The aim of this Special Issue is to collect papers describing the most innovative studies shedding light on the biochemical events involved in the development of neurological diseases. Both research and review articles are welcome, and they can be focused on the comprehension of the basis, detection, and treatment of neurological diseases as well as on the development of new therapeutic agents.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
