Frontiers in Neuroscience is a leading multidisciplinary journal that publishes research across a wide range of spectrum of specialities and disciplines in the field of neuroscience.

Led by Field Chief Editor, Professor Idan Segev (Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel) and indexed in PubMed Central (PMC), Web of Science (SCIE), and Scopus among others, the journal provides a holistic understanding of brain function, from genes to behavior, and aims to bridge the gap between various domains of neuroscience and advance developments in the field.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

autonomic function and brain energy homeostasis
neural development and degeneration
neuroengineering including neuromorphic engineering and neuroprosthetics
neuroscience methods such as opto/chemo-genetics
sensory perception and cognition.

Studies on the convergence of novel molecular and optical techniques, and developments in anatomical neuroscience, both at the whole-brain level (“connectome”) and the local circuit and synaptic level (“connectomics”) are of particular interest. Furthermore, the journal is interested in submissions on translational neuroscience and novel brain imaging methods from the subcellular level (e.g. voltage- and ion- dependent dyes) to the whole-brain level (such as micro-electrode arrays and direct imaging of neuronal activity by fMRI). Approaches that allow us to link structure of specific brain regions and local circuits to function more astutely are encouraged.

The journal also welcomes submissions which support and advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notable SDG 3: ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages. In particular studies that propose ways to promote mental health and prevent neurodegenerative diseases.

Manuscripts that focus on clinical trials, medical treatments, or the application of medical techniques without a fundamental basis in neuroscience are not within the scope of the journal. Additionally, studies that primarily investigate the effects of traditional medicine on health conditions, without exploring the underlying neurological mechanisms, fall outside of the journal scope.

Frontiers in Neuroscience is committed to advancing developments in the field of neuroscience by allowing unrestricted access to articles and communicating scientific knowledge to researchers in brain-sciences and the public alike, to enable scientific breakthroughs in understanding and repairing the brain.
