Neurogenesis

Journal overview

Aims and scope

This title has ceased (2018)

Aims & Scope: Neurogenesis is critical for the development and homeostasis of the nervous system and holds a key to the prevention and treatment of many diverse diseases. A deeper understanding of how neurogenesis is controlled promises to revolutionize biology and medicine. Hence, we believe that the field requires a focused journal to present important findings to experts and non-experts alike. Neurogenesis will publish reports on the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating stem and progenitor cell maintenance and differentiation, not only during embryonic development, but also in adults and during regeneration. The journal will publish groundbreaking findings in areas of basic and translational research.

Neurogenesis publishes articles of different formats including Original Research Papers, Brief Reports, Reviews and Previews, Technical Reports, News and Views as well as Commentaries. Reviews, News and Views, and Commentary articles will generally be invited and will cover current topics and recent advances in the field. Previews will include scholarly articles covering emerging topics and methodologies in the field of neurogenesis. We will also publish special issues devoted to particular areas of neural stem and progenitor differentiation and research. Suggestions for specialized topics are welcome.

Relevant topics include (but are not be limited to):

Neurogenesis
Neural stem cells
Regulation of adult neurogenesis
Neurological disorders and repair
Glia and other neural support cells
Neural migration
Plasticity of adult-born neurons
Selective generation of neuronal subtypes

All submitted manuscripts are subjected to initial evaluation by the editorial staff, and, if found suitable for further consideration, manuscripts are sent to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. All peer review is single blind.
