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

Frontiers in Neuroscience presents 10 high-impact Research Topics open for submissions.

Spanning genome editing, bioinformatics, and clinical genetics, these topics are an invitation to researchers to push the boundaries of knowledge and help shape the future of genetics.

These Research Topics have been specially curated to coincide with our participation in the Society for Neuroscience (San Diego, 15-19 November 2025), a world-leading annual interdisciplinary conference on ;;;;;.

Submissions are welcome from conference speakers, attendees, and the wider research community.

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