Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue intends to tackle the complicated mechanisms of neuroplasticity across multiple disciplines of neuroscience. Virtual and augmented reality technologies, for example, provide novel paradigms for researching cognitive processes, rendering a distinct viewpoint on neuroplasticity. In this respect, the cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with neuroplasticity changes in pathological circumstances constitute an essential part of neurodegeneration. We aim to particularly emphasize contributions illustrating adaptive and harmful alterations in neural networks throughout brain development and disease. Researchers interested in these dynamic subjects are therefore encouraged to contribute.
This Special Issue will serve as a forum for synthesizing knowledge from many subfields, encouraging collaboration, and furthering our understanding of the role of brain plasticity in health and disease. We also urge academics from all disciplines to contribute their ideas, comments, reviews, and original studies in order to create a comprehensive understanding of neuroplasticity across neural networks. Focus areas include, but are not limited to, extended reality in cognitive neuroscience, neurodegenerative molecular neurobiology, and neuroplasticity throughout brain development and disease.

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.
