Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is characterized by progressive memory impairments. Deficits in hippocampal neurogenesis, altered neuroinflammatory events, Tau pathology, loss of neuronal connection, and vascular senescence have been observed in human patients as well as in mouse models of familial Alzheimer's disease (FAD).
Understanding the role of different risk factors associated with AD pathology is still warranted. Recent advancements in the scientific community are empowering us to reach milestones each day. Tracing the engram ensemble through calcium imaging and manipulating it through optogenetics/chemogenetics in freely moving animals during different behavioral tasks enable us to understand how AD pathology affects cognition. In addition, techniques such as spatial transcriptomics give us in-depth information on how gene profiles change in each cell in a healthy vs. AD brain. We invite the scientific community to participate in our Special Issue, "Advances in Memory and Cognitive Decline Associated with Aging and Alzheimer's Disease", in order to share their valuable research and ideas.

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.
