10 | 2015 Frontiers in Neuroscience Journal Series Mission Statement Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience aims to publish major insights into animal and human behaviour. We welcome papers concerning the interplay between behavior and neurobiological analysis at all levels: from molecular biology and genetics, to morphological, biochemical, neurochemical, electrophysiological, neuroendocrine, pharmacological, and neuroimaging studies, as long as they contribute to unravel the neurobiological basis of behavior. Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience welcomes work in all animal species, including humans, and integrative and translational approaches combining animal and human research are encouraged. Recently, translational work has proved to be particularly suitable to address questions related to psychopathology, with examples showing how animal studies help identify genetic mechanisms of behavioral deviation in humans and, conversely, how findings in humans are directing essential work in animals. Our ultimate goal is to accelerate the progress in this area: from the need to integrate findings obtained at different levels to the constant redefinition of topics and approaches. 1’200+ Articles published 550+ Editors 2’980’000+ Total article views 680’000+ Total article downloads 3.3 Impact Factor

14 | 2015 Frontiers in Neuroscience Journal Series Mission Statement Frontiers in Computational Neuroscience is devoted to promoting theoretical modeling of brain function and fostering interdisciplinary interactions between theoretical and experimental neuroscience. Progress in understanding the capabilities of the brain is still limited, and will only come with deep theoretical thinking and mutually stimulating cooperation between different disciplines. We therefore invite original contributions on a wide range of topics that present the fruits of such cooperation, or provide stimuli for future alliances. We aim to provide an interactive forum for cutting-edge theoretical studies of the nervous system, and for promulgating the best theoretical research to the broader neuroscience community. Models of all styles and at all levels are welcome, from biophysically motivated realistic simulations of neurons and synapses to high-level abstract models of inference and decision making. While the journal is primarily focused on theoretically based and driven research, we welcome experimental studies that validate and test theoretical conclusions. 730+ Articles published 270+ Editors 1’810’000+ Total article views 380’000+ Total article downloads 2.2 Impact Factor

18 | 2015 Frontiers in Neuroscience Journal Series Mission Statement Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience is focused on synthesizing multiple facets of brain structure and function to understand how multiple functions are integrated to produce complex behaviors. Our goal is to publish research related to furthering the understanding of the integrative mechanisms underlying brain functioning across one or more interacting levels of neural organization. In most real life experiences, sensory inputs from several modalities converge and interact in a manner that influences perception and behavior. We are therefore focused on the primary questions of how multiple sensory, cognitive and emotional processes merge to produce coordinated complex behavior. In Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience we welcome in vitro or in vivo investigations across the molecular, cellular, and systems and behavioral level. Research in any species and at any stage of development and aging that are focused at understanding integration mechanisms underlying emergent properties of the brain and behavior are welcome. 540+ Articles published 390+ Editors 1’580’000+ Total article views 350’000+ Total article downloads

26 | 2015 Frontiers in Neuroscience Journal Series Mission Statement Frontiers in Neuroinformatics is devoted to studies on the creation of data and knowledge bases, together with the development and use of numerical models and analytical tools for the sharing, integration and analysis of experimental data and the advancement of theories of nervous system function. Neuroscience is being propelled into the information age as the volume of information explodes, demanding organization and synthesis. Novel synthesis approaches are opening up a new dimension for the exploration of the components of brain elements and systems and the vast number of variables that underlie their functions. Neural data is highly heterogeneous with complex inter-relations across multiple levels, driving the need for innovative organizing and synthesizing approaches from genes to cognition, and covering a range of species and disease states. Frontiers in Neuroinformatics therefore welcomes submissions on existing neuroscience databases, development of data and knowledge bases for all levels of neuroscience, applications and technologies that can facilitate data sharing and novel tools for data acquisition, analyses, visualization, and dissemination of nervous system data. 300+ Articles published 140+ Editors 1’250’000+ Total article views 200’000+ Total article downloads 3.3 Impact Factor

32 | 2015 Frontiers in Neuroscience Journal Series Mission Statement Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience is devoted to understanding the systems of the brain such as sensation, movement, learning and memory, attention, reward, decision- making, reasoning, executive functions, and emotions. We welcome papers addressing the brain’s structural and functional architecture and information processing, storage and retrieval systems. We represent all research: from information flow analysis to neuronal circuits that transform simple inputs to complex outputs; short- and long- term changes in circuits; the dynamics of neuronal networks; and cognitive modules engaged in specific tasks. Systems neuroscience relies on approaches spanning single- cell response studies to cellular analyses that leave intact key computational elements. Advances in brain activity imaging and network, cellular and sub-cellular level structure, plus the application of molecular tools, are transforming systems neuroscience. We admit computational studies complimenting experiments to better understand brain systems, and studies with multiple analysis approaches to better understand brain function during information processing, in the normal and diseased brain. 770+ Articles published 300+ Editors 2’280’000+ Total article views 480’000+ Total article downloads

    6 | 2015Frontiers in Neuroscience Journal Series Mission Statement These are historical times for brain research. The convergence of novel molecular and optical techniques paves the way to the era of causation neuroscience, and the behavioral and functional consequences of these manipulations are being explored. It is also a new era of anatomical neuroscience, as recently developed techniques become more widely used. New research fields have recently emerged and new informatics-based methods are being developed to store the enormous amount of data produced. Theoretical and computational approaches have also been developed for deriving principles of brain operations. As the field is growing fast, we integrate and link studies in related subfields, providing an overview of the state-of-the-art research. This journal aims to look at the brain from particular standpoints all the way from genes to behavior. 1’600+ Articles published 1’300+ Editors 5’420’000+ Total article views 1’020’000+ Total article downloads 3.7 Impact Factor

    10 | 2015Frontiers in Neuroscience Journal Series Mission Statement Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience aims to publish major insights into animal and human behaviour. We welcome papers concerning the interplay between behavior and neurobiological analysis at all levels: from molecular biology and genetics, to morphological, biochemical, neurochemical, electrophysiological, neuroendocrine, pharmacological, and neuroimaging studies, as long as they contribute to unravel the neurobiological basis of behavior. Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience welcomes work in all animal species, including humans, and integrative and translational approaches combining animal and human research are encouraged. Recently, translational work has proved to be particularly suitable to address questions related to psychopathology, with examples showing how animal studies help identify genetic mechanisms of behavioral deviation in humans and, conversely, how findings in humans are directing essential work in animals.

    18 | 2015Frontiers in Neuroscience Journal Series Mission Statement Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience is focused on synthesizing multiple facets of brain structure and function to understand how multiple functions are integrated to produce complex behaviors. Our goal is to publish research related to furthering the understanding of the integrative mechanisms underlying brain functioning across one or more interacting levels of neural organization. In most real life experiences, sensory inputs from several modalities converge and interact in a manner that influences perception and behavior. We are therefore focused on the primary questions of how multiple sensory, cognitive and emotional processes merge to produce coordinated complex behavior. In Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience we welcome in vitro or in vivo investigations across the molecular, cellular, and systems and behavioral level. Research in any species and at any stage of development and aging that are focused at understanding integration mechanisms underlying emergent properties of the brain and behavior are welcome. 540+ Articles published 390+ Editors 1’580’000+ Total article views 350’000+ Total article downloads
