Collection Overview
Scientific Data has launched a Guest-Edited Collection on Neurogenetics.
Understanding the genetic underpinnings of neural function, development, and disease is a rapidly evolving field with profound implications for neuroscience and medicine. By ensuring data documentation and open accessibility, this Collection aims to support reproducibility and accelerate discoveries at the intersection of genetics and neuroscience.
This will be a Collection of data descriptors and will be open for submissions from all authors – on the condition that the manuscripts fall within the scope of the Collection and of Scientific Data more generally. We are welcoming submissions until 19th March 2026.
Why is this Collection important?
"Neurogenetics is pivotal for deciphering the biological underpinnings of brain function, behavior, and neurological disorders. This collection is exciting as it harnesses the power of high-throughput data to bridge genetics and neuroscience. We anticipate it will become a foundational resource, enabling future discovery by providing standardized, high-quality datasets. We encourage submissions to this curated repository to amplify the visibility and impact of research while fostering its utility for the global scientific community."
- Dr. Ji-Feng Fei, Guest Editor
"Neurogenetics is fundamental to deciphering the molecular mechanisms behind brain function and neurological disorders, offering critical insights for the entire field of neurobiology. I am particularly excited that this is our journal's first dedicated collection on the topic in many years. I believe it will inspire and motivate numerous related studies, serving as a catalyst for future discoveries. Researchers should submit to this collection to amplify the reach of their ideas and contribute significantly to the growth and recognition of this vital field."
- Dr. Wenliang Lei, Guest Editor
Why submit to a collection?
Collections like this one help promote high-quality science. They are led by Guest Editors, who are experts in their fields, and In-House Editors and are supported by a dedicated team of Commissioning Editors and Managing Editors at Springer Nature. Collection manuscripts typically see higher citations, downloads, and Altmetric scores and provide a one-stop-shop on a cutting-edge topic of interest.
