Please forward to fellow researchers & share news of the journal |  Abstracted/Indexed in: PubMed Central - Google Scholar - Embase | Dear Colleague, We are delighted to announce the publication of the two latest issues of Brain Plasticity (BPL), the high-quality open access journal focusing on all aspects of neurogenesis, gliogenesis and synaptic plasticity, from development to the adult. BPL Volume 4, Issue 1 is a new special issue covering the topic: Lifestyle Factors and Neurodegenerative Diseases. The review articles highlight multiple facets of pathogenesis, ranging from deficient growth factor signaling and neuroinflammation to impaired adult hippocampal neurogenesis and vasculature. Together they also provide a comprehensive analysis of the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the beneficial effects of lifestyle factors that may prevent or delay onset of neurodegenerative diseases. BPL Volume 4, Issue 2 includes a range of content including one review: "Pathogenic Feed-Forward Mechanisms in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease Converge on GSK-3". The articles of both issues can be accessed via the links below, along with a list of the most read articles in BPL in 2018. The review article in the top spot was also the no.3 most read article across all IOS Press content last year. | Call for Papers We strive to give high visibility and impact to the science published in our journal. As a member of our research community, we invite you to submit manuscripts for consideration on all aspects of neural plasticity. Brain Plasticity offers contributing authors many benefits: • First class Editorial Board
• Rigorous peer review and speedy manuscript processing
• Rapid online publication (pre-press)
• Open Access publication
• Open Access author fees waived until the end of 2019 Submit your manuscript online via msTracker
