We sincerely welcome Professor Mirela Olympia Fagarasan Palmer, from University of South California, USA, to join the Editorial Board of OBM Neurobiology. Professor Palmer and her team seek to understand the fundamental neurobiological mechanisms of neuropsychiatric disorders to contribute at development of new pharmacological treatments. We appreciate Professor Palmer for her participation and support.

We sincerely welcome Professor Miguel A Pappolla, from the University of Texas Medical Branch, Galveston, TX, and the Texas Medical Center at Houston, TX, USA, to join the Editorial Board of OBM Neurobiology. Professor Pappolla and his team was among the first to identify evidence of oxidative stress in Alzheimer's disease brain, conducted groundbreaking research on hypercholesterolemia as an early risk factor for Alzheimer's disease. His research involves the development of neuroprotective drugs as potential therapeutic agents. Dr. Pappolla's lab identified of several naturally occurring neuroprotective substances. This discovery provides a biochemical basis, at least in part, for the gut-brain axis. We appreciate Professor Pappolla for his participation and support.

We sincerely welcome Professor Eva MARÍA Arroyo-Anlló, from University of Salamanca, Spain, to join the Editorial Board of OBM Neurobiology. Professor Arroyo-Anlló and her team seek to understand the neuropsychology in Alzheimer's disease, particularly, the memory, cognitive stimulation, and consciousness. We appreciate Professor Arroyo-Anlló for her participation and support.

We sincerely welcome Professor Carlos Fernando Valenzuela from the University of New Mexico School of Medicine, USA, to join the Editorial Board of OBM Neurobiology. Professor Valenzuela serves as the Director of Alcohol Research Training in Neuroscience Program, a NIH-Alcohol Neurobiology T32 Training Grant. His research focuses on modulation of developing and mature neuronal circuits by alcohol (ethanol). He and his team have made important contributions towards a better understanding of the neurobiology of alcoholism and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder. We appreciate Professor Valenzuela for his participation and support.

We sincerely welcome Dr. Bryan W. Luikart, Assistant Professor, from The Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, USA, to join the Editorial Board of OBM Neurobiology. Dr. Luikart and his team seek to understand the role of plasticity in the development and expression of cognitive and affective behavior, particularly, the impact of Pten dysfunction on neuronal physiology (a model for autism) and the role of microRNAs during adult hippocampal neurogenesis. We appreciate Dr. Luikart for his participation and support. 

We sincerely welcome Dr. Tamsyn Elizabeth Van Rheenen from the University of Melbourne, Australia, to join the Editorial Board of OBM Neurobiology. Dr. Van Rheenen is a young researcher active in the area of cognitive neuropsychiatry. Her research interests include the use of neuropsychological and neuroimaging techniques to study the brain and behaviour in bipolar disorder and related disorders. We appreciate Dr. Van Rheenen for her participation and support.

We sincerely welcome Professor Hermes Hsiao-Mei Yeh from The Geisel School of Medicine at Dartmouth, USA, to join the Editorial Board of OBM Neurobiology. Professor Yeh is the Chair of the Department of Physiology and Neurobiology. He has actively taught in the medical school and graduate school curricula, and has leadership roles in directing graduate education and training at the institutional and national levels. We appreciate Professor Yeh for his participation and support.

We sincerely welcome Dr. Helge Brovold from The National Centre for Science Recruitment of the Ministry of Education and Research, and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway, to join the Editorial Board of OBM Neurobiology. Dr. Brovold is a psychologist and senior adviser with expertise in neuropsychology, cognitive neuroscience, neural networks and brain function, neurobiology of attention, memory and learning, etc. We appreciate Dr. Brovold for his participation and support.

We sincerely welcome Professor Steven I. Dworkin from the Western Illinois University, USA, to join the Editorial Board of OBM Neurobiology. Professor Dworkin has been internationally recognized for his research on the neuropsychopharmacology of abused substances. We appreciate Professor Dworkin for his participation and support. 

We sincerely welcome Professor Gerard Martens from the Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands, to join the Editorial Board of OBM Neurobiology. Professor Martens is the head of the Department of Molecular Animal Physiology. His research goal is to map the brain from genotype to molecular pathways in neurodevelopmental/neurodegenerative trajectories to neuronal circuitry phenotypes and beyond to behavior. His work has been frequently published in the journals of Nature, Science, and Cell. We appreciate Professor Martens for his participation and support.
