Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this Special Issue, we aim to feature early-career researchers in neuroscience. The senior author(s) of each contribution should be (a) the first or last author and the corresponding author, and (b) have completed their Ph.D in the last 10 years (or equivalent), be an assistant professor, or be on track to receive tenure. We welcome submissions from a range of research fields. Articles submitted to this Special Issue should meet all standard requirements of individual biology articles (regarding quality, novelty, and significance) and be relevant to a broad international and interdisciplinary readership.
Authors contributing to this Special Issue will have the opportunity to be nominated for next year's Young Investigator Award.
Prof. Dr. Yansheng Du
Guest Editor
