Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology

Aims & Scope

Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology (FIN)is comprised of comprehensive review articles, systematic reviews, opinion pieces, and meta-analyses.

Most of the reviews are invited but we welcome unsolicited reviews and meta-analyses, and proposals for thematic special issues provided they meet the quality threshold of the journal.

We also encourage authors to submit proposals for commentaries which succinctly raise new ideas or provide additional analysis to further explore ramifications of an article published in FIN.

Areas of interest include: Endocrine interactions that influence neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative disease Sex differences in clinical populations and in pre-clinical models Stress and stress systems interactions with health and disease Neuroendocrine influences on health across the lifespan from development, puberty, adulthood and aging Microbiota/neuroendocrine interactions with health and disease Neuroendocrine -immune interactions: links to behavior and disease Integrative cellular, molecular and behavioral aspects of hormonally active neuropeptides Comparative and clinical neuroendocrinology Neuroendocrine control of energy balance, glucose homeostasis, and metabolism.
