Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying nervous system function and dysfunction. Research investigates neuronal damage, signaling, and plasticity in the context of central and peripheral nervous system diseases, including Alzheimer's disease and spinal cord injury. Studies also explore the roles of specific proteins and receptors in neuronal and glial cell development, communication, and response to injury or disease.
