Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary neuroscience journal publishing research that advances our understanding of synaptic structure: its function, plasticity, and alterations in diseases.

Led by Specialty Chief Editor Dr. P. Jesper Sjöström (McGill University, Canada) and indexed in PubMed Central (PMC), Scopus, and the DOAJ, the journal publishes articles on synaptic transmission and plasticity in all relevant areas. Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

biochemical, biophysical, and structural mechanisms involved in forming, maintaining, and altering synaptic properties
molecular composition of synapses
synaptic basis of neuropathology
techniques to interrogate synaptic function, such as those based on electrophysiology, optics, genetics, etc.
the ultrastructure, physiology, and biophysics of synaptic transmission.

In particular, the journal welcomes submissions which support and advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably SDG 3: good health and wellbeing, ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being for all, at all ages.

Manuscripts that focus solely on theory or computer modeling are not suitable for publication in this journal.

Frontiers in Synaptic Neuroscience is committed to advancing developments in the field of synaptic neuroscience allowing unrestricted access to articles and communicating scientific knowledge to researchers and the public alike, to enable scientific breakthroughs of the future.
