Frontiers in Neuroscience: Dive Into Curated Research Topics for SfN 2025

Frontiers in Neuroscience presents 11 high-impact Research Topics open for submissions.

Spanning themes from advanced neuroimaging and computational modeling (including AI) to neuroplasticity, circadian rhythms, neurovascular inflammation, and brain stimulation, primarily investigating neurodegenerative and cognitive disorders.

To celebrate Frontiers’ attendance at the Society for Neuroscience Annual Meeting (San Diego, 15–19 November 2025), these Research Topics spotlight some of the most exciting and emerging areas of brain research.

The event unites a global community of neuroscientists eager to exchange ideas, showcase breakthroughs, and push the boundaries of knowledge through world-class presentations and networking opportunities.

We welcome submissions from the neuroscience research community.

Ready to submit? Email us at neuroscience@frontiers.org with the subject FNINS 2025 RTs to receive submission support and your discount code.
