Neural Development

《神经发育》是一份开放获取、同行评议的期刊，研究涉及分子、细胞、生理或行为方法的各个方面的研究手稿，为神经系统的形成机制以及成人神经系统的更新和再生提供了新的见解。神经发展的目的是发现神经系统如何产生和获得感知世界和控制自适应运动输出的能力。该领域包括分析祖细胞如何在胚胎发育过程中形成神经系统，以及最初形成的神经回路如何在出生后早期的经历中形成，以及成年人的更新和再生。一些研究使用成熟的、基因可访问的模型系统，但也从提供行为或进化洞见的不太传统的模型中获得有价值的洞见。

Neural Development is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that considers manuscripts on all aspects of research that use molecular, cellular, physiological or behavioural methods to provide novel insights into the mechanisms that underlie the formation of the nervous system, as well as its renewal and regeneration in adults.Neural Development aims to discover how the nervous system arises and acquires the abilities to sense the world and control adaptive motor output. The field includes analysis of how progenitor cells form a nervous system during embryogenesis, and how the initially formed neural circuits are shaped by experience during early postnatal life, as well as renewal and regeneration in adults. Some studies use well-established, genetically accessible model systems, but valuable insights are also obtained from less traditional models that provide behavioral or evolutionary insights.
