Dear Colleagues,
There is accumulating evidence for a genetic component to neurological disorders. Although the pathophysiological pathways and etiology that underlie various neurological disorders may differ, a genetic contribution is indisputable. Significant research over the past few decades has been directed towards identifying Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) that confer susceptibility to neurological disorders.
This Special Issue of the Journal of Integrative Neuroscience aims to further our understanding of the role of SNPs in neurological disorders. Recent advances on SNPs in neurology will be presented, as well as possible implications for the etiology, pathophysiology and therapy of neurological disorders. We invite authors to submit articles in this general field in order to gain a better understanding of the pathophysiological mechanisms at the molecular level.
