Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience

期刊简介：Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience publishes rigorously peer-reviewed research that synthesizes multiple facets of brain structure and function, to better understand how multiple diverse functions are integrated to produce complex behaviors. Led 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.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 actions generating purposeful and social behaviors. The journal is therefore focused on the primary questions of how multiple sensory, cognitive and emotional processes merge to produce coordinated complex behavior. It is questions such as this that cannot be answered at a single level – an ion channel, a neuron or a synapse – that we wish to focus on. 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.

【译文】《整合神经科学前沿》发表经过严格同行评审的研究，综合大脑结构和功能的多个方面，以更好地理解多种多样的功能是如何整合产生复杂行为的。由一群杰出的国际专家组成的编辑委员会领导，这本多学科开放获取期刊处于传播和沟通科学知识和重大发现的前沿，面向全球的研究人员、学者、临床医生和公众。我们的目标是发表与深化理解大脑功能背后的整合机制相关的研究。在大多数现实生活经验中，来自几个模态的感觉输入以影响感知和行动的方式汇聚和相互作用，从而产生有目的和社会行为。因此，该期刊专注于如何将多个感官、认知和情感过程合并以产生协调的复杂行为这一基本问题。这类问题不能在单一层面——如离子通道、神经元或突触——得到解答，这是我们希望关注的。在《整合神经科学前沿》中，我们欢迎在分子、细胞、系统和行为水平上进行体外或体内研究。欢迎任何物种和任何发展阶段和衰老阶段的研究，这些研究专注于理解大脑和行为涌现特性的整合机制。
