Neuroscience Bulletin（《神经科学通报》英文刊）是中国科学院主管，中国科学院脑科学与智能技术卓越创新中心主办和出版的学术型单月刊（CN31-1975/R；ISSN 1673-7067）。作为中国神经科学学会的会刊，致力于反映神经科学领域的前沿研究，发表关于神经科学研究领域广泛主题的文章，关注神经系统调节运转机制和神经系统疾病的发生发展机制。欢迎国内外科研工作者使用分子、细胞、发育和功能等各种研究策略来推动人们对神经系统及其疾病的认识。本刊主要刊登原始研究论文（Original Article）和综述（Review），同时设有实验方法（Method）、读者来信（Letter to the Editor）和研究亮点（Research Highlight）等栏目。
Neuroscience Bulletin (NB), the official journal of the Chinese Neuroscience Society, is published monthly by Center for Excellence in Brain Science and Intelligence Technology (CEBSIT), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and Springer. Neuroscience Bulletin aims to publish advances in the field of neuroscience and promote the exchange of scientific ideas within the community. The journal publishes original papers on various topics in neuroscience. Neuroscience Bulletin welcomes research contributions on molecular, cellular, or developmental neuroscience and neural circuits using multidisciplinary approaches and functional strategies.

Types of Papers
Neuroscience Bulletin considers manuscripts of the following types:
Original Article
Review
Insight
Method
Protocol
Letter to the Editor
Research Highlight
All other types of articles including Correspondence are also being considered upon enquiry. The article type should be specified in the author’s cover letter.
Please note that NB intends to publish high quality research articles as a major part of the journal. Short reports and articles of other formats are only considered if the research work provides a major scientific breakthrough. The number of these other articles is limited in every issue.
Original Article
An original article contains original research materials and presents compelling data on conceptual advances in any area of neuroscience. The total character count of all sections of the main text (including references and figure legends but excluding supplemental data) should not exceed 80,000, including spaces. Up to 8 figures and/or tables are allowed for the entire manuscript. The minimum requirement of a submitted research article is 5,000 words excluding the references and at least 6 display items (figures and tables).
The submitted manuscript should be a substantial novel research study in all aspects of neuroscience, organizing a complete story with complex mechanisms elucidated using multiple techniques or approaches. It should provide mechanistic insights into a particular aspect of neuroscience field. NB also welcomes clinical research investigating the pathogenesis or diagnostic markers of a disease. Please note that for clinical trials, an Informed Consent should be provided as supplemental material and stated in the main text. NB no long accepts clinical research that lack insightful mechanistic implications. References are limited to 100.
Review
Authoritative reviews contribute greatly to our journal and we are interested in comprehensive articles well written to describe the cutting-edge development in any field of neuroscience for a general audience. The authors are expected to cover controversies in the field and propose their own viewpoints in an unbiased and justifiable way. In particular, the scope of the review should not be dominated by the authors’ own work. Reviews are usually 5,000 to 8,000 words in length (including an abstract of no more than 150 words, excluding the reference and title) and 3-6 schematic illustrations are strongly encouraged. Reviews are often contributed by research pioneers in the field and solicited by the editors. The authors are encouraged to submit a letter of inquiry before the submission.
