Frontiers in Enteric Neuroscience
Editor-in-Chief: Joël C. Bornstein
Frontiers in Enteric Neuroscience is a first-tier electronic journal that aims to publish key findings about the neural and neurobiological control of gastrointestinal functions. While the focus is on the enteric nervous system, the "little brain" within the gastrointestinal tract, studies on the "brain-gut axis" and neural coordination between different intestinal regions are also welcome. Our aim is to foster research that integrates all levels of enteric neural function including the molecular mechanisms mediating synaptic, neuromuscular and neuroeffector transmission, identities of enteric neurotransmitters, structural and dynamic properties of enteric neural circuits and their interactions with the sensory and effector mechanisms that generate complex functions. The journal will take a "conception to grave" approach, encouraging papers on enteric neural development, gastrointestinal dysfunction and aging. There is ample evidence that the neurons of the ENS interact with interstitial cells of Cajal, with enteric glial cells and with specific sensory cells in the mucosa and elsewhere, so studies of these interactions are also encouraged. The intestine is the largest immune system in the body, so neuroimmune reactions, especially responses to inflammation and other insults, will be an important part of what we publish. The complexity of the enteric neural circuits and the behaviors they regulate is such that we encourage studies using computational and mathematical models, whether realistic or abstracted, especially those where the model's predictions are tested experimentally. Our more global aim is to cast light on the lessons that enteric mechanisms provide for understanding nervous systems in general.

Frontiers in Neuropharmacology
Editor-in-Chief: Nicholas M. Barnes
Frontiers in Neuropharmacology is a first-tier electronic journal devoted to the publication of high quality research concerning all aspects of neuropharmacology; the study of drugs and their targets that influence the functions of the nervous system (brain, spinal cord and peripheral nerves) in health and disease. The scope of the journal is broad and submission of research from the cellular and molecular biology of drug targets through to their roles in isolated tissues and whole organisms, including clinical work, is welcome. Also relevant to the journal is research (either pre-clinical or clinical) to elucidate basic neuropharmacological mechanisms in health and disease or the potential of a neuropharmacological strategy for therapeutic benefit.

Frontiers in Neurogenesis
Editor-in-Chief: Angélique Bordey
Frontiers in Neurogenesis is a first-tier electronic journal dedicated to publishing new and important findings in the rapidly expanding field of neurogenesis. The journal has a particular emphasis on the biology of postnatal neural stem cells and the neurogenic niche. The identification of two adult neurogenic zones, which contain astrocyte-like neural stem cells, has led to a dramatic increase in the number of studies looking at the cellular and molecular mechanisms governing neurogenesis. Our mission is to disseminate high-quality, multidisciplinary studies related to all aspects of neurogenesis, from the biology of neural stem cells to the synaptic integration of adult-born neurons into mature circuits. We welcome submissions focusing on the genetics and epigenetics of neural progenitors, the anatomy of the neurogenic zone, and the intracellular and extracellular mechanisms governing all stages of neurogenesis (proliferation, migration, and differentiation). We publish studies that use in vitro and/or in vivo methodologies. Our journal also publishes research focusing on cellular and molecular responses of neural progenitor cells to aging and disease, as well as bioengineering approaches that use stem cells for CNS repair. Though the journal emphasizes on postnatal neurogenesis, we also welcome studies related to embryonic neurogenesis and radial glia.

Frontiers in Neuroprosthetics
Editors-in-Chief: Niels Birbaumer and Eilon Vaadia
Frontiers in Neuroprosthetics is a first-tier electronic journal devoted to studies of brain machine interfaces (BMI) and neuroprostheses. The journal aims to bring together the most outstanding work on neuroprosthetics to develop and explore neuroprosthetic devices and strategies in humans and animals, including basic research which applies BMI methodologies to study the neural and behavioral mechanisms underlying sensorimotor learning and behavior. The journal will consider original research articles on neuroprosthetics in all relevant areas including the physiology, biophysics and behavioral principles of neuroprosthetic devices and their theoretical, experimental and clinical applications. The journal will also publish work on the mathematical and physical algorithms and technological and medical innovations related to neuroprosthetics. Frontiers in Neuroprosthetics invites Review Articles that synthesize knowledge on various aspects of neuroprosthetic approaches and also Perspective and Opinion Articles to discuss and debate hot topics in neuroprosthetics.

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience
Editors-in-Chief: Mark A. Smith and Gemma Casadesus
Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience is a cutting-edge multidisciplinary journal aimed at fostering the understanding of mechanistic processes associated with CNS aging and age-related neuronal diseases. Another central role of the journal is to bring cohesion between disciplines and theories focused on understanding the fundamental processes of senescence. Special emphasis is placed on integrating findings of various sub-disciplines in neuroscience to yield translational insight into the aging process and neurological diseases associated with senescence and to develop treatment strategies aimed at the conservation of neuronal function. This aspect is critical to advance our ability to understand, manage, and treat conditions associated with aging. Because of the integrative nature of the journal, the scope of articles that will be considered is broad, and includes work elucidating genetic, biophysical, genomic, proteomic, cellular, molecular, biochemical, endocrinal, immunological, physiological, pharmacological and psychological/behavioral aspects of CNS aging, neurological diseases, and pathological events connected to these processes. Neuroimaging studies and clinical studies targeted to mechanistic aspects of neuronal aging/disease are also welcome.
