Podcast on Measuring Sympathetic Nerve Activity
Our sister journal, American Journal of Physiology-Heart and Circulatory Physiology, recently published an article and podcast on guidelines for recording sympathetic nerve activity.   This topic is of high relevance to our authors who study neural control of autonomic function.

Meeting Announcement
Plan to attend the 6th International Conference on Auditory Cortex from September 10-15, 2017, in Banff, Alberta, Canada.
 
Journal of Neurophysiology Embraces Preprints
NIH recently announced that preprints can be cited in grant applications. Many journals do not allow prepublication of research, and thus will not accept papers previously hosted on a preprint server.

Journal of Neurophysiology is an exception: we embrace prepublication of research on preprint servers such as bioRxiv, arXiv, or PeerJ.
