Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
- Introduction: From the Egyptians and the Greeks to optogenetics and gene therapy, neuroscience has always been based in the future. In this Special Issue, we report the most recent findings using the most cutting-edge methods. Connectomes and CRISPR are the future, but so are tried-and-true methods such as the well-documented case study technique. In this issue, the best of neuroscience is encouraged. “Cutting edge” does not only refer to techniques; new theories spawn new ideas that open up the future.
- Aim of this Special issue: We are soliciting the most advanced ideas and findings in neuroscience, generally speaking and broadly defined. Papers can be reviews of the literature or purely theoretical, but we will give preference to original experimental findings. While modern techniques fit our aims, classic methods with advanced findings are also encouraged. Authors are especially encouaged to submit papers that excite and advance. This issue is the perfect place for both studies that venture outside the typical and research that can move the knowledge base to a new area.
Suggested themes and article types for submissions include experimental findings, theortical manuscripts, and review papers. Clinical results are welcome, as well as those that are purely experimental. Papers from an evolutionary perspective that are novel in their findings or theory are encouraged. We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Prof. Dr. Julian Keenan
Guest Editor
