Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The ability to learn, form lasting memories, and use this stored information to guide future behaviour are important adaptive and highly conserved neurobiological processes. Neurons communicate with each other through synapses, and the strength of these connections can be altered to direct the flow of information within the central nervous system. Activity-dependent changes in synaptic connections and alterations in the intrinsic excitability of neurons are cellular key features that support learning and memory. This Special Issue will present and discuss the neural processes that enable memory formation, storage and recall under normal and pathophysiological conditions.
Dr. Sven Kroener

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. Brain Sciences 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 2200 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.
