Another New Editor Joins Our Team
|
|
|
The Journal of Neurophysiology welcomes another new associate editor, Matthew Tresch from Northwestern University.
|
|
|
Matthew Tresch's laboratory studies the neural control of movement, focusing on the role of spinal circuitry. He has expertise using a variety of research methods, including behavioral, biomechanical, and neurophysiological techniques. His lab is currrently examining the biomechanics of joints, and is also developing neuroprostheses for restoring functional movements following spinal cord injury.

Video Promoting New Features

We just released a new
YouTube video that discusses our recent efforts to make the
Journal of Neurophysiology an optimal venue to publish neuroscience research.
|
|
|
|
|
The
Journal of Neurophysiology is publishing an increasing number of review manuscripts. We can even help draw the artwork for review articles. Note that the topic of the article must be
approved by the editor-in-chief prior to composition and submission; uncommissioned articles will not be considered.
All reviews published by the
Journal of Neurophysiology can be accessed in our
Reviews Collection.

At the request of the authors, we will produce a podcast for any article that we accept. We do all the work, and the authors just need to participate in a panel discussion about the paper conducted via Skype. Podcasts are linked to the target article, listed on the
Journal's home page, and included in our
podcast archives and
listing of articles with podcasts.

Since we promote every article that we publish, it is no wonder that many of these articles become widely discussed in social media. Authors can customize the promotion of their article through completion of a
social media request form, which is linked to every acceptance letter.
The following recent articles were discussed the most through social media venues:
