Aims and Scope:
The journal publishes results of original research on both basic and clinical aspects of the developing nervous system, ranging from simpler
nervous systems in invertebrates and in vitro growth of neural cells to regenerative processes under experimental and clinical conditions.
Papers concerned with both in vitro and in vivo studies are invited for editorial consideration.
The journal will also publish original articles, editorials and reviews and communications from the International Society for Developmental
Neuroscience covering all the latest developments in the field. Its main aims will be to facilitate the transfer of basic information to clinical
applications and to promote an understanding of the fundamental mechanisms of neural growth and development.

INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF DEVELOPMENTAL NEUROSCIENCE
INSTRUCTIONS TO AUTHORS
I. GENERAL (b) Each manuscript must have a title page which includes
1. The International Journal of Developmental Neuro- only the title, the authors’ names, the laboratory or origin,
science is devoted to the prompt publication of the results the name and address of the person to whom proofs should
be mailed, and any necessary footnotes. Original manuscripts
of original research on any aspect of the scientific study of
and diagrams are discarded 1 month after publication unless
the nervous system. The type of paper most suitable for
publication is that in which new observations are clearly and the Publisher is requested to return original material to the
succinctly reported and in which an attempt is made to make author. Corrections to the proof should be restricted to
the purpose and outcome of the study meaningful to scientists printer’s errors. Substantial alterations may be charged to
of other disciplines. Detailed and/or very specialized papers the author.
will only be considered for publication if the authors have (c) The title should be as short as is consistent with
followed the latter suggestion. Since one of the chief aims is clarity. Papers should not be numbered in series, but sub-
titles are accepted. A list of abbreviations used in the
to promote communication between neuroscientists, the
