Journal of Neuroscience

Aims & Scope

To advance neuroscience research by publishing and widely disseminating the highly rigorous research representative of the breadth of neuroscience; to ensure the peer review system remains rapid and fair; and to provide outlets for discussion of neuroscience that are not available elsewhere, allowing for competing ideas, debate, and questions around neuroscience.

JNeurosci is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes papers on a broad range of topics of general interest to those working on the nervous system.
