Neuroscience Bulletin, aims to publish research advances in the field of neuroscience and promote the exchange of scientific ideas within the community. The journal publishes original papers on topics in neuroscience and focuses on the implications for diseases of the nervous system. Neuroscience Bulletin welcomes research contributions on molecular, cellular, or developmental neuroscience using multidisciplinary approaches and functional strategies. We feature full-length original articles, reviews, methods, protocols, letters to the editor, insights, and research highlights. As the official journal of the Chinese Neuroscience Society, which currently has more than 15000 members in China, Neuroscience Bulletin is devoted to facilitating communication between Chinese neuroscientists and their international colleagues. The journal is recognized as the most influential publication in neuroscience research in China.
