Aims and scope

Neurogenetics publishes findings that contribute to a better understanding of the genetic and epigenetic regulation of nervous system development and function, as well as of brain dysfunction. In addition to Neurogenetic disorders, studies addressing the genetic or epigenetic basis of neurodevelopmental, neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseases are the main focus of the journal. Thereby, in addition to neurons, studies investigating the role of glia cells in these diseases are welcome.
Neurogenetics therefore includes findings in humans and other organisms that help understand neurological disease mechanisms and publishes papers from many different fields such as biophysics, cell biology, human genetics, neuroanatomy, neurochemistry, neurology, neuropathology, neurosurgery and psychiatry.

Neurogenetics is published in hardcopy and online. It includes Review Articles, Original Articles, Short Communications and Letters to the Editors on the field of neurogenetics and neuroepigenetics. Well-powered studies reporting negative results are also welcome.
