Welcome to BMC Neuroscience published by BioMed Central
BMC Neuroscience is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of cellular, tissue-level, organismal, functional and developmental aspects of the nervous system.
BMC Neuroscience (ISSN 1471-2202) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, Scopus, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.
BMC Neuroscience 2008, 9 :119
The Drosophila circadian clock protein CLOCK is expressed exclusively in circadian neurons during embryogenesis and is present prior to the period gene PER, suggesting it is a key factor in the early development of the circadian system.
BMC Neuroscience 2008, 9 :117
Intranasal administration of transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) results in reduced infarct volume, improved neuroprotection and enhanced neurogenesis in adult mice after stroke, which may have therapeutic potential for cerebrovascular disorders.
BMC Neuroscience 2008, 9 :103
A non-invasive brain stimulation technique, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), can improve the use of a person
s non-dominant hand by stimulating relevant motor regions of the brain and has potential to aid recovery of motor skills after stroke.
