Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the neuroanatomy and neurobiology of various species, including vertebrates and invertebrates. Studies investigate neuronal differentiation, regional specification, and the structure and function of brain regions such as the hypothalamus, mushroom bodies, spinal cord, and amygdala. The research also explores neuronal pathways, innervation patterns, and the molecular mechanisms underlying neural development, plasticity, and regeneration.
