Journal Title：Neural Development

Neural Development is a peer-reviewed open access, online journal, which features studies that use molecular, cellular, physiological or behavioral methods to provide novel insights into the mechanisms that underlie the formation of the nervous system.

Neural Development aims to discover how the nervous system arises and acquires the abilities to sense the world and control adaptive motor output. The field includes analysis of how progenitor cells form a nervous system during embryogenesis, and how the initially formed neural circuits are shaped by experience during early postnatal life. Some studies use well-established, genetically accessible model systems, but valuable insights are also obtained from less traditional models that provide behavioral or evolutionary insights.

《神經發(fā)育》是一本同行評審的開放獲取在線期刊，刊登的研究采用分子、細胞、生理或行為方法，為神經系統(tǒng)形成的機制提供新見解。

《神經發(fā)育》旨在發(fā)現(xiàn)神經系統(tǒng)如何產生并獲得感知世界和控制自適應運動輸出的能力。該領域包括分析祖細胞如何在胚胎發(fā)生過程中形成神經系統(tǒng)，以及最初形成的神經回路如何在出生后早期經歷中形成。一些研究使用完善的、遺傳上可訪問的模型系統(tǒng)，但也可以采用非傳統(tǒng)模型來提供行為或進化見解，從而獲得有價值的見解。

Neural Development創(chuàng)刊于2006年，由BioMed Central出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋生物 - 發(fā)育生物學全領域，此刊是中等級別的SCI期刊，所以過審相對來講不是特別難，但是該刊專業(yè)認可度不錯，仍然是一本值得選擇的SCI期刊 。平均審稿速度 12周，或約稿 ，影響因子指數(shù)4，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預警名單，廣大學者值得一試。
