Overview

The Journal of Computational Neuroscience focuses on understanding brain function at the level of neurons and circuits via computational and model-based approaches that are tied to biology and are experimentally testable.

  • Publishes full-length original papers, as well as rapid communications, perspectives, and review articles.
  • Papers combining theoretical and experimental work are especially encouraged.
  • Papers reporting computational and/or statistical analysis, without a model, are not appropriate for this journal.
  • Papers reporting research utilizing machine learning or related methods to analyze neural data, but that do not address function, are not appropriate for this journal.
  • Prospective authors who are unsure of whether their manuscript is in the scope of the Journal are encouraged to contact one of the Editors in Chief prior to submission.

This is a transformative journal, you may have access to funding.

  • New Article Type “Perspective” now open for submissions

    To provide a forum for authors to present new ideas, comment on published material, or re-interpret data, a new article type was set up at this journal: “Perspective”. Articles should be brief and timely, and of wide interest to the computational neuroscience community.

    The manuscript should not exceed 3000 words and 1 figure or table, and it should not report any new data, but could re-analyze existing data or propose a new interpretation of published data. A fast publication is expected.

    Read the Editors-in-Chief’s Editorial on “Perspectives”.
