Scope & Mission

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience is a leading journal in its field, publishing rigorously peer-reviewed research that advances our understanding of the mechanisms of Central Nervous System aging and age-related neural diseases. Specialty Chief Editors Gemma Casadesus at Kent State University and Thomas Wisniewski at the New York University School of Medicine are supported by an outstanding Editorial Board of international researchers. 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.

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 to the aging process and neurological diseases associated with senescence, and developing 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 and neurological diseases and pathological events connected to this process. Neuroimaging studies and clinical studies targeted to mechanistic aspects of neuronal aging/disease are also welcome.

Instructions for Submitting Authors

For basic research involving mechanistic and intervention-based studies within the field of aging and age-related neurological diseases in animals and humans (clinical trials with neuroimaging, biomarkers for age-related disease or age-delaying interventions), please indicate in the cover letter that your submission is intended for consideration within our pre-clinical/translational division. If your manuscript involves clinical research on CNS related-related changes that occur with aging and age-related neurological diseases (changes in neurological function that occur across the lifespan or comparisons and normal aged to diseased CNS function), please indicate in the cover letter that your submission is intended for our clinical division.

Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience  is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics.
