About this Research Topic
This Research Topic is part of the Methods and Applications in series.
This series aims to highlight the latest experimental techniques and methods used to investigate fundamental questions in cellular neuroscience research. Review articles or opinions on methodologies or applications including the advantages and limitations of each are welcome. This Topic includes technologies and up-to-date methods which help advance science.
The contributions to this collection will undergo peer-review. Novelty may vary, but the utility of a method or protocol must be evident. We welcome contributions covering all aspects of cellular neurophysiology. Submissions will be handled by the team of Topic Editors in the respective sections.
Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience supports the FAIR (Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reusability) principles for scientific data management and stewardship (Wilkinson et al., Sci. Data 3:160018, 2016).
This Research Topic welcomes:
Methods: Describing either new or existing methods that are significantly improved or adapted for specific purposes. These manuscripts may include primary (original) data.
Protocols: Detailed descriptions, including pitfalls and troubleshooting, to benefit those who may evaluate or employ the techniques. The protocols must be proven to work.
Perspective or General Commentaries on methods and protocols relevant for neuroscience research.
Reviews and mini-reviews of topical methods and protocols highlighting the important future directions of the field.
For more information on the description and formats of the different article types please see here.
Methods and Applications in Cellular Neurophysiology welcomes contributions on new or established methods and protocols that advance our understanding of cellular/molecular mechanisms of neuronal excitability and communication. This Research Topic aims to collect new evidence and perspectives in the fields of cellular neurophysiology, including basic neural and neural circuit properties, such as electrical Methods and Applications in Cellular Neurophysiology welcomes contributions on new or established methods and protocols that advance our understanding.
