Call for Papers

The main scope of the upcoming special issue of Brain Organoid and Systems Neuroscience Journal focused on ‘Exploring the Dynamic Impact of Adult-Born Cells on Physiology and Pathology” would be to offer highlights in the field covering the impact of adult-born cell to brain circuits, physiology, behaviour and pathology.

In this special issue, we will explore recent advancements in the field of adult cytogenesis, focusing on understanding the mechanisms underlying the regulation of stem cells, the role of adult-born cells in modulating brain neural circuits, their impact on physiology and behavior, and their involvement in pathological conditions. We invite original research articles, reviews, and perspectives that delve into these topics, utilizing various experimental approaches including molecular biology, genetics, imaging techniques, electrophysiology, and behavioral assays. Contributions may encompass studies conducted in model organisms, including rodents and non-human primates, as well as investigations utilizing human samples and clinical data. By bringing together diverse perspectives and cutting-edge research, this special issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the current state of knowledge in adult cytogenesis, fostering discussions and insights that may pave the way for future therapeutic interventions targeting neurological and neuropsychiatric disorders.

Possible research topics include but are not limited to:

• Exploring the Intricacies: Mechanisms Governing Stem Cell Regulation;
• Orchestrating Brain Circuitry: Unraveling the Influence of Adult-Born Cells;
• From Physiology to Behavior: Understanding the Dynamic Impact of Adult-Born Cells;
• Unveiling Pathological Pathways: The Role of Adult-Born Cells in Disease Development

To submit your manuscript, please visit the Brain Organoid and Systems Neuroscience Journal website and select the title of this special issue during the submission process. All manuscripts submitted for consideration in this special issue will be granted a complete Article Processing Charge (APC) waiver.

Submission deadline: 30 November 2024
