NeuroImage

NeuroImage is a gold open access journal covering important developments in understanding brain function, structure, and organization using all neuroimaging modalities, along with related imaging and analysis methodology. It focuses on the macroscopic level of the human brain while incorporating theoretical and technological innovations across multiple levels of analysis, and welcomes submissions involving animal models or clinical populations when they contribute to a systems-level understanding of the human brain. The journal publishes original research and review articles as well as papers on methods, models/resources, and emerging or controversial issues.
