Frontiers Special Topic Alert

Did you know?

Frontiers encourages discussions on hot issues in neuroscience by publishing Special Topics. These are collections of 10 or more articles on grand challenges, new developments and emerging topics. A Special Topic, hosted by a Frontiers editor or guest editor, unites the world's leading experts and is an excellent way to present the latest advances and challenges in your area of expertise.

Don't miss your opportunity to contribute and make an impact in your field! Check out the upcoming Special Topics in the Frontiers in Neuroscience journal series and send your abstract to the host editor.

You are a leading scientist in your field and would like to host your own Special Topic? Send your proposal to the Editorial Office.
