CALL FOR PAPERS

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF BIOPHYSICS

SPECIAL ISSUE ON "RECENT ADVANCES IN MODELING CELLS, CELLULAR COMPARTMENTS
AND SIGNALING NETWORKS AS A TOOL TO UNDERSTAND THE NERVOUS SYSTEM"

AIMS AND SCOPE:

In the last two decades, the progress in molecular biology and associated
areas promoted a large accumulation of structural and molecular data about
the nervous system. Almost simultaneously with that, fields such as
Computational Neuroscience and Systems Biology have emerged with the aim to
obtain a system-level understanding about the nervous systems through the
development of computational models based on experimental data. Today, both
fields are consolidated areas of research and have given valuable
contributions to our knowledge of processes such as electrical integration,
calcium dynamics, synaptic plasticity, sensory transduction, pathologies,
among many others. In this special volume, we want to highlight some of the
recent contributions of both computational neuroscience and systems biology
to Neuroscience especially through the development and analysis of
computational models of cells, cellular compartments and signaling
networks. These types of models are powerful tools to investigate the
physiological and molecular dynamics of neurons with a large range of
spatial and temporal resolutions. Therefore, in this special volume, our
intent is to select bleeding edge contributions focused on the gather works
that will cover simulations of signaling networks and signal transduction
solved deterministically or stochastically; the interaction between
signaling networks and the regulation of ionic channels through covalent
modifications such as phosphorylation; the impact of neuronal geometries on
signaling networks and on cellular electrical integration. Thus, we have
the expectation that this special volume will be of interest to both the
people working in the fields on Computational Neuroscience and Systems
Biology, and to experimental biophysicists that will have the opportunity
to get an overall view of the main topics that have been investigated with
computational models of cells and signaling networks.

TOPICS OF INTEREST include (but are not limited to):

• Synaptic Plasticity
• Sensory Transduction
• Calcium Dynamics
• Electrical Integration
• Stochastic Processes
• Signaling pathways in 3D compartments
• Pathological Processes
• Software/Algorithms
