《神經(jīng)解剖學(xué)前沿》發(fā)表了嚴(yán)格的同行評審研究，揭示了所有物種所有神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)解剖組織的重要方面。卡哈爾研究所（CSIC）的專業(yè)總編輯哈維爾·德菲利佩得到了一個杰出的國際專家編輯委員會的支持。這本多學(xué)科開放獲取期刊是向研究人員、學(xué)者、臨床醫(yī)生和全世界公眾傳播和交流科學(xué)知識和有影響力的發(fā)現(xiàn)的前沿。使用古典和現(xiàn)代技術(shù)和方法包括軸突傳輸方法來跟蹤大腦區(qū)域之間的聯(lián)系；電子顯微鏡來獲得對亞細(xì)胞和連接解剖的更定量的了解；免疫細(xì)胞化學(xué)來繪制蛋白質(zhì)表達(dá)模式；原位雜交以繪制基因表達(dá)模式；以及許多其他強有力的技術(shù)用于檢查神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的組織。神經(jīng)解剖學(xué)的前沿領(lǐng)域鼓勵在大腦區(qū)域之間、物種之間以及健康與疾病之間進行比較研究，但與具有主要臨床重點的研究無關(guān)。我們鼓勵將現(xiàn)代定量解剖學(xué)技術(shù)與實驗研究相結(jié)合的研究，但也歡迎提供描述性神經(jīng)解剖學(xué)和神經(jīng)解剖學(xué)設(shè)計理論的材料。圖像質(zhì)量和強有力的插圖將是一個前沿的重點神經(jīng)解剖學(xué)。我們還鼓勵以理論研究為補充的解剖學(xué)論文，以更好地理解大腦的解剖學(xué)設(shè)計原理。

Frontiers in Neuroanatomy publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research revealing important aspects of the anatomical organization of all nervous systems across all species. Specialty Chief Editor Javier DeFelipe at the Cajal Institute (CSIC) is supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international experts. This multidisciplinary open-access journal is at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries to researchers, academics, clinicians and the public worldwide.The use of classical and modern techniques and approaches include axonal transport methods to track the connections between brain regions; electron microscopy to obtain a more quantitative understanding of the sub-cellular and connectivity anatomy; immunocytochemistry to map protein expression patterns; in situ hybridization to map gene expression patterns; and many other powerful techniques used to examine the organization of the nervous system. Frontiers in Neuroanatomy encourages comparative studies between brain regions, between species, and also between health and disease, but is not concerned with studies that have a primary clinical focus. We encourage studies that employ modern quantitative anatomical techniques in combination with experimental studies, but submissions of descriptive neuroanatomy and theories of neuroanatomical design are also welcome. Image quality and powerful illustrations will be a major emphasis of Frontiers in Neuroanatomy. We also encourage anatomical papers that are complemented by theoretical studies to better understand the anatomical design principles of the brain.
