Experimental Neurology
Experimental Neurology, a Journal of Neuroscience Research, publishes original research in neuroscience with a particular emphasis on novel findings in neural development, regeneration, plasticity and transplantation. The journal has focused on research concerning basic mechanisms underlying neurological disorders.
Since Sid Gilman, University of Michigan, took over as Editor-in-Chief in 2003, Experimental Neurology has broadened and expanded dramatically into translational neuroscience. Experimental Neurology is now one of the premier journals covering the basic science underlying both neurological and psychiatric disorders. Section editors have been recruited from Europe as well as the US and rotated frequently to ensure that we have fresh, unbiased reviews. Current Section Editors include Steven Goldman, Cellular and Molecular Neuroscience; Evan Snyder, Development; Eugene Johnson, Genetic Disorders and Trophic Factors; James Geddes, Neural Systems; James Herman, Neuroendocrine and Homeostatic Mechanisms; Mathias Baehr, Neurological Disorders; Ahmet Hoke, Peripheral Neuropathy and Pain; Isabella Heuser, Psychiatric Disorders; Jerry Silver, Regeneration and Plasticity; and Marie-Francoise Chesselet, Transplantatiion and Repair. Section Editors and the Editor-in-Chief review each submission to determine whether the article should be sent out for external review to shorten the review process and avoid unnecessary delays. The development of commentaries for significant articles continues to be well received, and a series of Special Issues is drawing attention to emerging areas in neuroscience of growing interest, including stem cells, pain and neuropathy, mitochondrial disorders, and brain stimulation for psychiatric disorders. The turnaround time to first decision is now often less than one month (average 6 weeks), articles are posted to Science Direct as articles in press within 2 months of acceptance. Medline / Pubmed now lists articles as soon as they appear on Science Direct. Please see also the editorial from Sid Gilman from November 2005.
