Read moreFrontiers in Systems Neuroscience is an open-access journal devoted to understanding whole systems of the brain, such as those involved in sensation, movement, learning and memory, attention, reward, decision-making, reasoning, executive functions, and emotions. The orientation is toward papers addressing the structural and functional architecture of brain systems, as well as the principles of information processing, storage and retrieval at the systems level. The study of brain systems includes the analysis of individual regions, as well as multiple levels and nodes of information processing. The journal will represent the full range of systems neuroscience research: from the analysis of pathways of information flow to neuronal circuits that transform simple inputs to complex outputs; short- and long-term changes in circuits that arise during activity-dependent development and plasticity; the dynamics of neuronal networks; and cognitive modules that are engaged in specific tasks. Systems neuroscience relies on a variety of approaches, spanning studies of single-cell responses in alert primates to cellular analyses of reduced preparations that leave intact key elements of computation. Recent advances in high-resolution imaging of brain activity and structure at network, cellular and sub-cellular levels, along with the application of molecular tools, have begun to transform systems neuroscience. Our journal also admits computational studies that complement experiments to better understand the emergent transformations in brain systems. We also encourage studies with multiple analysis approaches in order to better understand brain function during multiple form and time scales of information processing – in the normal and diseased brain and in any species.

Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience welcomes submissions of the following article types: Book Review, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Protocols, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge, Systematic Review and Technology Report.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty journal.
Articles published in Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in the Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community of the field.
