Neural Development

Journal Title：Neural Development

Neural Development is a peer-reviewed open access, online journal, which features studies that use molecular, cellular, physiological or behavioral methods to provide novel insights into the mechanisms that underlie the formation of the nervous system.

Neural Development aims to discover how the nervous system arises and acquires the abilities to sense the world and control adaptive motor output. The field includes analysis of how progenitor cells form a nervous system during embryogenesis, and how the initially formed neural circuits are shaped by experience during early postnatal life. Some studies use well-established, genetically accessible model systems, but valuable insights are also obtained from less traditional models that provide behavioral or evolutionary insights.

《神经发育》是一本同行评审的开放获取在线期刊，刊登的研究采用分子、细胞、生理或行为方法，为神经系统形成的机制提供新见解。

《神经发育》旨在发现神经系统如何产生并获得感知世界和控制自适应运动输出的能力。该领域包括分析祖细胞如何在胚胎发生过程中形成神经系统，以及最初形成的神经回路如何在出生后早期经历中形成。一些研究使用完善的、遗传上可访问的模型系统，但也可以采用非传统模型来提供行为或进化见解，从而获得有价值的见解。

Neural Development创刊于2006年，由BioMed Central出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖生物 - 发育生物学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 12周，或约稿 ，影响因子指数4，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
