Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the neural mechanisms underlying sensory processing, motor control, and cognitive functions, often utilizing animal models and in vitro preparations. Studies investigate topics such as synaptic plasticity, neuronal signaling, neuroinflammation, and the role of specific neurotransmitters and receptors in various neurological processes and disorders. The research also explores the functional organization of brain regions and networks, including the cortex, thalamus, and brainstem, and their involvement in behaviors like pain perception, learning, and self-motion.
