Precision Medicine and Molecular Clues in the Treatment of Neurological Disorders

Dear Colleagues,

Neurological disorders include a wide range of impairments of the central nervous system such as epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, ataxia, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, stroke, migraine, neurological infection, brain tumors, head injuries, and others. They affect one billion people worldwide, regardless of education, age, and sex. It is estimated that 6.8 million people die every year due to a neurological condition. In recent years, high-throughput technologies have helped identify several genetic and molecular factors that play important roles in the etiology and pathophysiology of different neurological disorders, enabling the targeting of treatment in a personalized and precise way. However, these studies also have considerable challenges and limitations. Therefore, the main aim of this Special Issue is to provide a wide overview on the state of the art of molecular and biological pathways that play a crucial role in treatment response, approaches to precision therapy, disease models, implementation, and clinical trial challenges. Original research reports, review manuscripts, brief communications, and perspectives are welcome in all areas pertinent to the topic.

Accepted papers will be published in the journal (as soon as accepted) and meanwhile listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, reviews as well as short communications are preferred. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office to announce on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts will be thoroughly refereed through a double-blind peer-review process. Please visit the Instruction for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) in this open access journal is 2200 USD. Submitted manuscripts should be well formatted in good English.
