Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the development, function, and plasticity of the nervous system, including studies on neural circuits, cellular mechanisms, and the impact of various interventions and conditions on brain function. Articles cover topics such as microglial development and transplantation, synaptic organization and maturation, proteomic analysis of neuronal compartments, and the effects of pharmacological agents and stimulation techniques on neural processes. The scope also extends to neuroimaging for disease prediction, the role of specific genes in cortical development, and the study of sensory processing and pain mechanisms.
