Neuroscience

The human nervous system is one of the most complex tissues known to mankind, it contains 86 billion neurons able to communicate harmoniously. Since the initial drawings of neurons by Santiago Ramón y Cajal, to the seminal works of Eric Kandel with the sea slug Aplysia, the field of neuroscience has developed tremendously, both technically and in knowledge.

This collection curates research that studies all aspects of the nervous system: from its development, and how different neural types are specified to its structure, how circuits are formed, and its functionality, how it processes information, and regulates behaviour, including perception, learning, memory, decision-making and sleep.
We welcome discoveries focusing both in the central and peripheral nervous system, and across animal species.

Potential topics include but are not limited to:

• Cellular Neurobiology
• Molecular Neurobiology
• Developmental Neurobiology
• Behavioural Neuroscience
• Systems Neuroscience
• Computational Neuroscience
• Computational Neuroimaging
• Neural Dynamics
• Cognitive Neuroscience

The following collections are also available:

• Neurobiology
• Sensory Biology

This Collection includes a Research Spotlight on the article: ‘Local brain-state dependency of effective connectivity: a pilot TMS-EEG study’, read it here.
