Developmental Neuroscience
Gain New Insights into the Mechanisms of Brain Development in Health and Disease
Developmental Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary journal publishing papers covering all stages of invertebrate, vertebrate and human brain development. Emphasis is placed on publishing fundamental as well as translational studies that contribute to progress in understanding mechanisms of brain development as well as causes and consequences of disruptions in brain development. The journal provides valuable information for both physicians and biologists. The journal accepts original research reports, reports on technological advances, and long and short reviews. Current topics of particular interest to the journal include:
- Genetics of Neurodevelopmental Disorders
- Stem Cell-derived Models of Neurological Disease
- Injury of the Developing Nervous System
- Pre-clinical models of Neurodevelopmental Disorders
- Mechanisms of Pediatric Brain Tumors
- Functional Imaging of Developing Human Brain
- Mechanisms of Neural Circuit Formation
- Developmental Disruptions in Neural Circuitry
- Neuroimmune Interactions
- Glial Function in the Developing Brain
- Gut Microbiota and Brain Development
