Frontiers in Neuroanatomy

《神经解剖学前沿》发表了严格的同行评审研究，揭示了所有物种所有神经系统解剖组织的重要方面。卡哈尔研究所（CSIC）的专业总编辑哈维尔·德菲利佩得到了一个杰出的国际专家编辑委员会的支持。这本多学科开放获取期刊是向研究人员、学者、临床医生和全世界公众传播和交流科学知识和有影响力的发现的前沿。使用古典和现代技术和方法包括轴突传输方法来跟踪大脑区域之间的联系；电子显微镜来获得对亚细胞和连接解剖的更定量的了解；免疫细胞化学来绘制蛋白质表达模式；原位杂交以绘制基因表达模式；以及许多其他强有力的技术用于检查神经系统的组织。神经解剖学的前沿领域鼓励在大脑区域之间、物种之间以及健康与疾病之间进行比较研究，但与具有主要临床重点的研究无关。我们鼓励将现代定量解剖学技术与实验研究相结合的研究，但也欢迎提供描述性神经解剖学和神经解剖学设计理论的材料。图像质量和强有力的插图将是一个前沿的重点神经解剖学。我们还鼓励以理论研究为补充的解剖学论文，以更好地理解大脑的解剖学设计原理。

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research revealing important aspects of the anatomical organization of all nervous systems across all species. Specialty Chief Editor Javier DeFelipe at the Cajal Institute (CSIC) is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international experts. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide.The use of classical and modern techniques and approaches include axonal transport methods to track the connections between brain regions; electron microscopy to obtain a more quantitative understanding of the sub-cellular and connectivity anatomy; immunocytochemistry to map protein expression patterns; in situ hybridization to map gene expression patterns; and many other powerful techniques used to examine the organization of the nervous system. Frontiers in Neuroanatomy encourages comparative studies between brain regions, between species, and also between health and disease, but is not concerned with studies that have a primary clinical focus. We encourage studies that employ modern quantitative anatomical techniques in combination with experimental studies, but submissions of descriptive neuroanatomy and theories of neuroanatomical design are also welcome. Image quality and powerful illustrations will be a major emphasis of Frontiers in Neuroanatomy. We also encourage anatomical papers that are complemented by theoretical studies to better understand the anatomical design principles of the brain.
