Studies with clear relevance to the cerebral cortex, such as the thalamocortical relationship or cortico-subcortical interactions, are also included.
The journal is multidisciplinary and covers a large variety of modern neurobiological and neuropsychological techniques, including anatomy, neurogenetics, biochemistry, molecular neurobiology, cell biology, electrophysiology, behavior, artificial intelligence, and theoretical modeling. In addition to research articles, special features such as brief reviews, book reviews, and commentaries are included.
