This Research Topic is the second volume of the Research Topic " Novel Therapeutic Target and Drug Discovery for Neurological Diseases". Please see the first volume here. Neurological diseases represent heterogeneous disorders that involve complex pathological alterations with only a few effective treatments; therefore, there is a great need for the development of novel therapeutic targets and therapies. There are more than six hundred neurological disorders, including dementia, cerebrovascular diseases, mental illness, brain tumor, and infection-caused central diseases, all arising from disruption to the central nervous system. Researchers are attempting to identify promising targets and potential drug candidates from new biological techniques and pharmacological animal studies. Thus, novel target discovery and mechanism elucidation, as well as the development of small-molecule entities, natural compounds, and polypeptides for the treatment of neurological dysfunction, may offer exciting clues for novel therapeutic strategies to halt or mitigate the course of neurological diseases.
