Special Issue - Dance and the Brain: The Neural and Social Bases of Creative Movement

This Special Issue features contributions from an interdisciplinary Workshop on the “Neural and Social Bases of Creative Movement” (2022). Dance is one of the most ancient art forms and prevalent in every culture around the world. The origins of dance go back even further in evolutionary time since many animals also engage in ritualized displays. Human dance is rich in diversity and its essence is expressive, creative sequences of movement shared in a vibrant social context. Neuroscientists have recently begun to explore how dance is encoded, embodied and perceived in the brains of choreographers, dancers and dance audiences. The articles in this Special Issue highlight the exciting interaction between the communities of dance artists and scientists at the Workshop.

Aims and scope

BMC Neuroscience is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers articles on all aspects of neuroscience, welcoming studies that provide insight into the molecular, cellular, developmental, genetic and genomic, systems, network, cognitive and behavioral aspects of nervous system function in both health and disease.  Experimental studies are within scope, as are studies that describe methodological approaches to monitoring or manipulating nervous system function.

Valuable data often go unpublished when they could be helping to progress science. Hence, the BMC Series introduced Data notes, a short article type allowing you to describe your data and publish them to make your data easier to find, cite and share.

You can publish your data in BMC Genomic Data (genomic, transcriptomic and high-throughput genotype data) or in BMC Research Notes (data from across all natural and clinical sciences). 

More information about our unique article type can be found on the BMC Genomic Data and BMC Research Notes journal websites.
