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 the nervous system, including molecular, cellular, developmental and animal model studies, as well as cognitive and behavioral research, and computational modeling.
BMC Neuroscience (ISSN 1471-2202) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, Scopus, EMBASE, PsycINFO, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.

Structural abnormalities in the brains of Tourette's Syndrome patients are revealed by voxel-based morphometry and magnetization transfer imaging, supporting a likely causal role for alterations in prefrontal cortex areas leading to other structural changes causing basal ganglia dysfunction.
BMC Neuroscience 2009, 10 :32
N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors can be assembled from an NR3B subunit and any one of the eight NR1 splice variant subunits to form functional receptors that are fully activated by glycine but insensitive to glutamate.

As pairs of guitarists listen to a metronome beat and start to play a jazz-fusion melody together, electrical recordings reveal an increased oscillatory coupling of their brain waves.
