Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The realm of molecular neuroscience stands at the forefront of scientific inquiry, offering profound insights into the enigmatic operations of the central and peripheral nervous systems, including the brain, spinal cord, dorsal root ganglion, peripheral nerves, neurons and neurotransmitters. On the molecular level, decades of neuroscience research has provided a better understanding of the intricate workings of the complex nervous system revealing both normal and pathological functions. Advances gained from this field have wide-ranging applications such as developing treatments for neurological disorders, improving education strategies, and enhancing mental health interventions.
A significant facet of contemporary molecular neuroscience research lies in the strategic utilization of animal models, which serve as indispensable tools for investigating the complexities of neural mechanisms at the molecular level, as well as the relationship between behavioral changes and pathology-associated neurological remodeling.
Here, we invite investigators to contribute original research and review articles on the landscape of neuroscience, focusing specifically on the integral role of animal models in advancing our comprehension of the molecular mechanisms of the nervous system, identifying those associated with different pathological conditions, and translating these findings into breakthrough novel therapeutic strategies for addressing a myriad of neurological disorders.

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.
