Neuroscience
A section of Biology (ISSN 2079-7737).
Section Information
Our section provides an interdisciplinary platform for groundbreaking research on the central and peripheral nervous systems. We publish original articles, review articles, methodological innovations, and perspectives that advance the understanding of neural mechanisms ranging from the molecular level to complex behavioral processes, spanning basic research to translational studies. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their results in a detailed fashion; full experimental details must be provided by authors, ensuring that the results can be reproduced.
