Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Life will be publishing a Special Issue titled “Neuronal and Behavioral Changes as a Response to Biotic and Abiotic factors”. There are many mechanisms influencing the nervous system and other forms of behavior not only during diseases, but also for the duration of some abiotic or biotic factors, such as natural/synthetic compounds or environmental factors. Nervous system activity is organized and coordinated and ultimately manifests itself in the behavior of the organism. The challenge to neuroscience then is to explain, in physical and chemical terms, how the nervous system marshals its signaling units to direct behavior.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of possible factors (both abiotic and biotic) that influence the nervous system and behavior in humans, and animals.
