Manuscript file types that we accept for online submission include Word, WordPerfect, and TXT. For Figure submission, we accept JPEG, TIFF, or AI files. Required items differ for each article type and are specified during the submission process.

The submitted manuscript should be accompanied with a signed “Neuroscience Bulletin copyright transfer statement and submission form” stating that all work is original, has not been published previously, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The corresponding author responsible for the originality, legality and validity of the work must sign the form.

Authors can refer to a recent issue of NB to view the general layout. The entire manuscript text should be double-spaced with font Time New Roman 12. All pages should be numbered consecutively. Abbreviations should be kept to a minimum. All abbreviations should be accompanied by their full names on their first appearance in the text, in parentheses. All quantities and units should be expressed according to international standards, and SI units must be used throughout. When an Arabic number precedes an SI unit, the unit symbol should be used rather than its full name, such as 2 s (two seconds), 2 min (2 minutes), 2 h (two hours), and 2 d (two days). Symbols are not followed by a period (e.g., min, not min.). Gene symbols should be italicized; protein products of the loci are not italicized. Nonstandard abbreviations should be defined when first used in the text. Use of abbreviations should be kept at a minimum.

Manuscripts must be written in clear and concise English and be intelligible to a broad readership. Prior to submission, authors may benefit from having their manuscript reviewed for clarity by colleagues and/or by using one of the many English language-editing services that are available.
