Journal Title：Frontiers In Neural Circuits

Frontiers in Neural Circuits publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research on the emergent properties of neural circuits - the elementary modules of the brain. Specialty Chief Editors Takao K. Hensch and Edward Ruthazer at Harvard University and McGill University respectively, are 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 and the public worldwide.

Frontiers in Neural Circuits launched in 2011 with great success and remains a "central watering hole" for research in neural circuits, serving the community worldwide to share data, ideas and inspiration. Articles revealing the anatomy, physiology, development or function of any neural circuitry in any species (from sponges to humans) are welcome. Our common thread seeks the computational strategies used by different circuits to link their structure with function (perceptual, motor, or internal), the general rules by which they operate, and how their particular designs lead to the emergence of complex properties and behaviors. Submissions focused on synaptic, cellular and connectivity principles in neural microcircuits using multidisciplinary approaches, especially newer molecular, developmental and genetic tools, are encouraged. Studies with an evolutionary perspective to better understand how circuit design and capabilities evolved to produce progressively more complex properties and behaviors are especially welcome. The journal is further interested in research revealing how plasticity shapes the structural and functional architecture of neural circuits.

Frontiers in Neural Circuits 发表了经过严格同行评审的关于神经回路（大脑的基本模块）的涌现特性的研究。哈佛大学和麦吉尔大学的专业主编 Takao K. Hensch 和 Edward Ruthazer 得到了杰出的国际专家编委的支持。这本多学科开放获取期刊处于向全球研究人员、学者和公众传播和交流科学知识和有影响力的发现的最前沿。

Frontiers in Neural Circuits 于 2011 年推出并取得了巨大成功，并且仍然是神经回路研究的“中心水坑”，为全球社区提供数据、想法和灵感的共享服务。欢迎发表揭示任何物种（从海绵到人类）中任何神经回路的解剖学、生理学、发育或功能的文章。我们的共同主题是寻找不同电路使用的计算策略，以将其结构与功能（感知、运动或内部）联系起来，它们运行的​​一般规则，以及它们的特定设计如何导致复杂特性和行为的出现。鼓励使用多学科方法，特别是更新的分子、发育和遗传工具，重点关注神经微电路中的突触、细胞和连接原理。特别欢迎具有进化视角的研究，以更好地了解电路设计和功能如何演变以产生越来越复杂的特性和行为。该杂志对揭示可塑性如何塑造神经回路的结构和功能架构的研究更感兴趣。
