Neurophotonics

Editor-in-Chief: Anna Devor, Boston University, USA

Neurophotonics is a Gold Open Access journal covering advances in optical technology applicable to study of the brain and their impact on basic and clinical neuroscience applications.

On the cover: murine neuron in 3D rendering of an image stack recorded with confocal microscopy (from "Distribution of spine classes shows intra-neuronal dendritic heterogeneity in mouse cortex" by C. Theobald, A. Lotfinia, J. Knobloch, et al.; image credit: M. A. Lauterbach, A. Lotfinia, and Y. Medlej), in Volume 12 Issue 1.
