Evidence of the COVID-19 Virus Targeting the CNS: Tissue Distribution, Host–Virus Interaction, and Proposed Neurotropic Mechanisms

Abdul Mannan Baig, Areeba Khaleeq, Usman Ali et al. · 13 Mar 2020

The recent outbreak of coronavirus infectious disease 2019 (COVID-19) has gripped the world with apprehension and has evoked a scare of epic proportion regarding its potential to spread and infect humans worldwide. As we are in the midst of an ongoing pandemic of COVID-19, scientists are struggling to understand how it resembles and differs from…

Moving beyond Rules: The Development of a Central Nervous System Multiparameter Optimization (CNS MPO) Approach To Enable Alignment of Druglike Properties

Travis T. Wager, Xinjun Hou, Patrick R. Verhoest et al. · 25 Mar 2010

The interplay among commonly used physicochemical properties in drug design was examined and utilized to create a prospective design tool focused on the alignment of key druglike attributes. Using a set of six physicochemical parameters ((a) lipophilicity, calculated partition coefficient (ClogP); (b) calculated distribution coefficient at pH = 7.4 (ClogD); (c) molecular weight (MW); (d)…

Brain Tissue Responses to Neural Implants Impact Signal Sensitivity and Intervention Strategies

Takashi D.Y. Kozai, Andrea Jaquins‐Gerstl, Alberto L. Vazquez et al. · 30 Dec 2014

Implantable biosensors are valuable scientific tools for basic neuroscience research and clinical applications. Neurotechnologies provide direct readouts of neurological signal and neurochemical processes. These tools are generally most valuable when performance capacities extend over months and years to facilitate the study of memory, plasticity, and behavior or to monitor patients' conditions. These needs have generated…

Central Nervous System Multiparameter Optimization Desirability: Application in Drug Discovery

Travis T. Wager, Xinjun Hou, Patrick R. Verhoest et al. · 19 Mar 2016

Significant progress has been made in prospectively designing molecules using the central nervous system multiparameter optimization (CNS MPO) desirability tool, as evidenced by the analysis reported herein of a second wave of drug candidates that originated after the development and implementation of this tool. This simple-to-use design algorithm has expanded design space for CNS candidates…

The Rodent Forced Swim Test Measures Stress-Coping Strategy, Not Depression-like Behavior

Kathryn G. Commons, Aram B. Cholanians, Jessica A. Babb et al. · 13 Mar 2017

The forced swim test (FST) measures coping strategy to an acute inescapable stress and thus provides unique insight into the neural limb of the stress response. Stress, particularly chronic stress, is a contributing factor to depression in humans and depression is associated with altered response to stress. In addition, drugs that are effective antidepressants in…

ACS Chemical Neuroscience template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the ACS Chemical Neuroscience format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the ACS Chemical Neuroscience template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Chemical Society format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does ACS Chemical Neuroscience use?
ACS Chemical Neuroscience uses Superscript numbered (ACS) references, shown as superscript numerals in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: (1) Smith, A.; Jones, B.; Lee, C. A Representative Article Title. ACS Chemical Neuroscience 2023, 12, 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to ACS Chemical Neuroscience?
No. DocuGuru generates the achemso LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a American Chemical Society-ready ACS Chemical Neuroscience document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the ACS Chemical Neuroscience template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the ACS Chemical Neuroscience format with correct headings, figures, tables, and superscript citations.
What is ACS Chemical Neuroscience?
ACS journal (achemso). It is a chemistry journal, published by American Chemical Society.
Can I export a submission-ready ACS Chemical Neuroscience PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official ACS Chemical Neuroscience template (the achemso class) that is ready to submit to American Chemical Society, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the ACS Chemical Neuroscience template cost?
You can start writing in the ACS Chemical Neuroscience template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready ACS Chemical Neuroscience PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
