Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary open-access journal devoted to better understanding the cellular mechanisms underlying the functions of the cells composing the nervous system (neural and non-neuronal) across all species. The past years have seen exciting progress in this area because of the merging of traditionally separate fields such as anatomy, physiology and molecular genetics. We welcome submissions of multidisciplinary studies of cellular function in vertebrates and invertebrates, in cell culture, in vivo, or using slices, and involving genetically amenable species, such as Drosophila, C. elegans, mice, and zebra fish, as well as any other species suited to elucidate fundamental principles of cellular function in neurons. Studies on basic neural functions, such as the generation of action potentials, synaptic transmission, biophysical and biochemical aspects of receptor activation, ionic channel functions, synaptic plasticity, intra- and inter- cell signaling related to the emergent functions of cells, glial-neuronal signaling and synaptic and dendritic integration, are welcome. An important frontier for the journal is to address issues at bridge between molecular/cellular physiology and integrative neuroscience, so as to understand the impact of cellular/molecular properties of neurons on circuit functions and behavior. Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience will devote special attention to novel technical approaches able to shed light on yet unresolved neuroscientific issues. Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience also publishes research on the morphology of cells and how these morphologies relate to the emergent functions of neurons. This journal also welcomes research focused on the developing adult and ageing cell, as well as cellular changes in diseases. While the journal’s primary focus is on experimental studies, we also welcome the addition of computational models to further explore experimental findings.

Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience期刊中文简介

《细胞神经科学前沿》是一本多学科的开放获取期刊，致力于更好地理解构成所有物种神经系统(神经和非神经)的细胞功能的细胞机制。过去几年，由于解剖学、生理学和分子遗传学等传统上独立的领域的融合，这一领域取得了令人兴奋的进展。我们欢迎提交的多学科研究脊椎动物和无脊椎动物的细胞功能,在细胞培养中,体内,或使用片,涉及基因的物种,比如果蝇,线虫,老鼠,和斑马鱼,以及任何其他物种适合阐明的基本原则在神经元细胞功能。欢迎对基本神经功能的研究，如动作电位的产生、突触传递、受体活化的生物物理生化方面、离子通道功能、突触可塑性、与细胞突现功能相关的细胞内和细胞间信号、胶质神经元信号、突触和树突状整合等。该杂志的一个重要前沿是解决分子/细胞生理学和综合神经科学之间的桥梁问题，从而了解神经元的细胞/分子特性对电路功能和行为的影响。细胞神经科学前沿将特别关注能够阐明尚未解决的神经科学问题的新技术方法。细胞神经科学前沿也发表了关于细胞形态学的研究，以及这些形态学如何与神经元的涌现功能相关。本杂志也欢迎关注发育中的成体细胞和老化细胞，以及疾病中的细胞变化的研究。虽然该杂志的主要重点是实验研究，我们也欢迎添加计算模型，以进一步探索实验结果。
