About this journal

Aims and scope

ASN NEURO is an open access, peer-reviewed journal uniquely positioned to provide investigators with the most recent advances across the breadth of the cellular and molecular neurosciences. The official journal of the American Society for Neurochemistry, ASN NEURO is dedicated to the promotion, support, and facilitation of communication among cellular and molecular neuroscientists of all specializations.

The open access platform and comprehensive scope of the journal allow for rapid dissemination of current research across disciplines to contribute to a complete approach to issues pertaining to the nervous system. High-quality research articles and reviews in such areas as neurochemistry and biology, neurogenetics, glial cells and function, neurodevelopment, neurodegeneration and repair, neuroimmunity, signaling, and other neuro- or glial-related topics are encouraged for submission.
