Research we consider
As a BMC Series journal, BMC Neuroscience does not make editorial decisions on the basis of the interest of a study or its likely impact. Studies must be scientifically valid; for research articles, this includes a scientifically sound research question, the use of suitable methods and analysis, and following community-agreed standards relevant to the research field.
The journal welcomes manuscripts in the following broad areas of neuroscience research:
- Anatomy, development, plasticity and repair in human, cellular, organoid and animal models
- Cellular and molecular mechanisms including neurotransmitters, neurotransmission, gliotransmission, synaptic transmission, neuropsychopharmacology, cell signaling, neurophysiology, neurogenetics and neurogenomics
- Cognition and behavior and all aspects of behavioral neuroscience and learning in humans and animal models
- Neurobiology of disease including neuroinflammation, neurodegenerative pathophysiology, neurodevelopmental disorders, neuropsychiatric disorders in human, cellular and animal models
- Systems neuroscience and the understanding of structure and function of neural circuits, systems and networks at all levels, all sensory systems and sensory processing, how neural circuits and brain networks support behavior and cognitive function and computational and theoretical neuromodeling
- Techniques in neuroscience including neural signal processing, neuroimaging, neural interfaces, neuromodulation and brain stimulation for fundamental and clinical neurosciences.
