Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce a forthcoming Special Issue of Metabolites, entitled "Brain Metabolic Alterations in Neurodegenerative Diseases". Brain metabolic alterations are a common feature in neurodegenerative diseases, encompassing disrupted glucose metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, and neuroinflammation—all culminating in metabolic stress, which contributes to the progression and severity of these conditions. This issue will explore the intricate connections between hypometabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, and metabolic changes in the context of neurodegenerative diseases. Understanding the complex relationship between metabolism and neurodegeneration is essential for the development of novel therapeutic interventions aimed at slowing or altering the course of these devastating disorders. Notably, this Special Issue welcomes the submission of not only basic research but also clinical studies, promoting a comprehensive exploration of this critical subject. Also, we aim to present cutting-edge reviews and original research articles that investigate the progression of metabolic alterations potentially implicated in neurodegenerative diseases.

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. Metabolites is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
