Join us in Chicago at the Neuroscience 2015 Conference

Going to #SfN15 in Chicago, United-States? Meet Frontiers at Neuroscience 2015 this October 17 – 21! Come chat with us about Open Access publishing, interactive peer-review, becoming an editor, or about hosting your very own Research Topic! A Research Topic allows you to spotlight your area of research by editing a collection of cutting-edge peer-reviewed articles. For example, take a look at this very successful Research Topic in Frontiers in Neuroscience: Neuroinflammation and behaviour has had over 48’000 views and is available as a freely downloadable e-book! You can learn more about Research Topics in this brochure. We are looking forward to seeing you at #SfN15!

STAFF PICK: Neuroscience perspectives on Security: Technology, Detection, and Decision Making

Meet Nikolaos Anagnostos. Nikolaos is a production coordinator who has been with Frontiers since 2011. As part of the production team, he sees a lot of articles come through and helps manage them along the way. His staff pick is an e-book, which is a collection of articles that were the result of a Frontiers Research Topic. The e-book is free to download. Below is why he chose this e-book. E-Book Staff Pick: Neuroscience perspectives on Security: Technology, Detection, and Decision Making Edited by: Elena Rusconi, Kenneth C. Scott-Brown, Andrea Szymkowiak From tracing the neural markers of successful lying and discussing the potential use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) as a lie detector in criminal courts, to a debate on whether non-invasive brain stimulation should be used in security and military services and a closer look at CCTV operators or at an X-ray security scanner offering multiple views of objects as image sequences: the articles included in this e-book present a wide range of security science topics, while examining the multiple social and ethical questions that arise. Personally, I found it interesting to read how much effort is done to overcome the artificial environment that is inherent in these experimental […]

World Autism Awareness Day 2014

On World Autism Awareness Day (April 2) we present a selection of popular open-access articles on advances and theories into autism spectrum disorders (ASD) The Intense World Theory – a unifying theory of the neurobiology of autism Frontiers in Human Neuroscience (Kamila Markram and Henry Markram (Co-founders of Frontiers and CEO and Editor-in-Chief, respectively)) The Intense World Theory considers autism as the consequence of a supercharged brain that makes the world more intense, which causes people with autism to develop strategies to cope. This review highlights key studies that support this theory and show how it can better explain past findings, and how it could resolve apparently conflicting data and interpretations. Autism: The Micro-Movement Perspective Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience (Elizabeth B Torres, Maria Brincker, Robert W Isenhower, Polina Yanovich, Kimberly A Stigler, John I Nurnberger, Dimitri N Metaxas and Jorge V Jose) A new screening and tracking tool for diagnosing autism is detailed in this study. It measures an autistic person’s random movements and compares these to patterns seen in non-autistic individuals. The method could be used to diagnose autism sooner and allow earlier intervention.  Network efficiency in autism spectrum disorder and its relation to brain overgrowth Frontiers in Human Neuroscience (John D Lewis, […]
