Special Issue on Brain and Development

Months before birth, the human brain has begun to produce nerve cells and the connections between them. Factors and processes influencing brain development keep on attracting our interest. By understanding the steps to build a healthy brain, we can gain insight into what goes wrong in disorders of brain development and clues about how to repair the brain injury.

In this special issue, we intend to invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles on exploring Brain and Development. Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

• Clinical child neurology
• Brain during old age
• Brain mechanisms
• Brain disorders
• Developmental coordination disorder
• Nutrition and the developing brain
• Neural and behavioural analyses

Authors should read over the journal’s For Authors carefully before submission. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript through the journal’s Paper Submission System.

Please kindly specify the “Special Issue” under your manuscript title. The research field “Special Issue - Brain and Development” should be selected during your submission.
