Sensory and Motor Neuroscience
A section of Brain Sciences (ISSN 2076-3425).
Section Information
The mission of the “Sensory and Motor Neuroscience” Section of Brain Sciences (ISSN: 2076-3425) is to present studies on how the nervous system processes sensory inputs (vision, hearing, smell, taste, and somatosensation) and how this information is integrated with motor outputs to control movement. The Section includes studies investigating how changes in mechanical, behavioural, neural, psychological, and pharmacological inputs impact sensorimotor function, behaviour, and disease. Molecular, cellular, systems, behavioural, and cognitive neuroscience approaches to investigating sensorimotor control in health, development, and disease are welcome.
Submissions of original research and reviews, theoretical treatises, meta-analyses, case studies, observational approaches, technical insights, computer simulations and models, statistical methodologies, perspectives, and commentaries in the area of sensorimotor control are also welcome.
All articles published in our journal are available in an open access format, granting readers unrestricted access to the full text for free.
