OBM Neurobiology is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal published quarterly online by LIDSEN Publishing Inc. By design, the scope of OBM Neurobiology is broad, so as to reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the field of Neurobiology that interfaces biology with the fundamental and clinical neurosciences. As such, OBM Neurobiology embraces rigorous multidisciplinary investigations into the form and function of neurons and glia that make up the nervous system, either individually or in ensemble, in health or disease. OBM Neurobiology welcomes original contributions that employ a combination of molecular, cellular, systems and behavioral approaches to report novel neuroanatomical, neuropharmacological, neurophysiological and neurobehavioral findings related to the following aspects of the nervous system: Signal Transduction and Neurotransmission; Neural Circuits and Systems Neurobiology; Nervous System Development and Aging; Neurobiology of Nervous System Diseases (e.g., Developmental Brain Disorders; Neurodegenerative Disorders).
OBM Neurobiology publishes research articles, technical reports and invited topical reviews. Although the OBM Neurobiology Editorial Board encourages authors to be succinct, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. Authors should present their results in as much detail as possible, as reviewers are encouraged to emphasize scientific rigor and reproducibility.

About This Topic
The human gut contains around 100 trillion micro-organisms collectively known as the gut microbiome. The human genome consists of about 23000 genes, whereas the gut microbiome encodes over three million genes producing thousands of metabolites influencing the host’s fitness, phenotype, and health. Gut microbes communicate with the host through multiple pathways and systems including enteric, autoimmune, and endocrine systems. There exists a complex bidirectional mechanism, the Gut-Brain axis, between the gastrointestinal (GI) tract and the central nervous system (CNS). Animal and laboratory research have established the potent influence of gut microbial metabolites on neural function, but more data is needed in humans in health and in neurological conditions. This special edition intends to encapsulate this broad scope and invites manuscripts in these areas.
