Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Various animal models have played a key role in neurological disorder research. These models aim to replicate various aspects of the disorders, including the genetic basis, histopathological lesions, and clinical symptoms. They provide us with improved comprehension of the etiopathogenesis of these disorders, with the end goal of mechanistically constructing therapeutics which can eventually lead to the modification and/or prevention of neurological disorders. Despite the vast amount of knowledge previously assimilated, researchers and the general public can still benefit from novel animal models that better recapitulate the human disease, in addition to updates concerning previously established animal models, as well as new insights regarding the molecular mechanisms underlying these disorders. This Special Issue intends to present new and interesting developments in the field. Articles offering innovative insights into the multifaceted pathophysiology of neurological disorders are welcome. This Special Issue may include, but is not limited to: original research articles focusing on differential gene expression analyses of genetic models, the development of new models, further characterization of established models, therapeutic studies utilizing animal models, and review articles which summarize and highlight recent advances in the field.

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.
