New Brain Connectivity Journal Launches in Spring

Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., the leading publisher in Biotechnology, announced this week about their new peer-reviewed journal called Brain Connectivity. Expected to launch in the spring, this new journal will  become the premier source of cutting-edge basic and clinical neuroscience research aimed at better understanding of structural and functional connections in the brain and how these connections are altered by neurological disorders.

As readers anticipate the launch of Brain Connectivity, they can also celebrate with the introduction of the new neuroscience initiative, The Human Connectome Project. Funded by $40 million in research grants from the National Institutes of Health, the Human Connectome Project is a major effort to map all the brain connections in about 1,000 human subjects in the United States using current imaging technology. Researchers will be able to access human connectome data through an interactive website. Brain Connectivity will be at the forefront of connectomics research and will follow the progress of the Human Connectome Project and other similar initiatives worldwide.

Brain Connectivity will be the journal researchers and clinicians turn to to find out more on aspects of brain connectivity. It will include original peer-reviewed papers, review articles, point-counterpoint discussions on controversies in the field, and a product/technology review section.
