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, EMBASE, Scopus, PsycINFO, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.
BMC Neuroscience 2009, 10 :132
Mice with a knockout in the PKCI/HINT1 gene display anxiolytic, anti-depressant like and goal-oriented behaviors, that in conjunction with elevated corticosterone levels, suggest a role for this gene in mood regulation.
BMC Neuroscience 2009, 10 :126
Minocycline protects neurons from cell death in experimental stroke models, but only at low doses; at high doses of the drug the ischemic effects of stroke are exacerbated, striking a note of caution for ongoing clinical trials.
BMC Neuroscience 2009, 10 :119
Activation of the otolith organs of the vestibular system regulates cerebral blood flow (CBF) independently of blood pressure, so helping to maintain blood pressure and CBF in humans when upright.
