This Special Issue, dedicated to the 19th Monitoring Molecules in Neuroscience Meeting (MMiN), will highlight new insights into cutting-edge tools and techniques being used to push the boundaries of understanding brain function. Submit your manuscript by November 18, 2024.
The Monitoring Molecules in Neuroscience Meeting (MMiN) has historically offered a remarkable showcase of cutting-edge tools and techniques being used to push the boundaries of our understanding of brain function. Squarely in line with this tradition, the 19th MMiN, held in May 2024 at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, highlighted an exciting range of the newest molecular monitoring technologies and their applications in the brain, advancing our knowledge of chemical neurotransmission in relation to circuit modulation, behavior, and the neuropathology and neuropharmacology of CNS disorders.
This Special Issue in ACS Chemical Neuroscience will feature a collection of such work, highlighting new insight into neurochemical signaling, novel biosensors, and important perspectives. Check out last year’s Virtual Special Issue here.
We welcome topics including, but not limited to:
- Tool development for neurochemical monitoring, and how it is being combined with novel lines of inquiry to advance understanding of brain function.
- New technologies for monitoring protein modifications and protein/protein interactions
- Development and optimization of genetically encoded fluorescence-based biosensors for detection of neurochemicals.
- Electroanalytical monitoring strategies for neurochemicals
- Quantitative and qualitative characterization of live brain tissue
- Computational methods for analysis of neural circuits and signals
- Software/hardware for enabling neurochemical analysis
