Neural Development is a fully open access journal that considers manuscripts on all aspects of research that use molecular, cellular, physiological or behavioural methods to provide novel insights into the mechanisms that underlie the formation of the nervous system, as well as its renewal and regeneration in adults.

Neural Development is joining the Discover series!
We are excited to announce that Neural Development will move into our fully OA Discover series as Discover Neuroscience in January 2025.
We will now only accept new submissions that will be published in Discover Neuroscience.
Publication costs for Discover Neuroscience will be covered by Springer Nature until 31 December 2025. Authors whose articles are accepted for publication in Discover Neuroscience up to and including that date will not pay an article-processing charge. 2025 charge: £0/$0/€0 Standard charge: £1490.00/$1990.00/€1690.00.
The Discover journal series is committed to providing a streamlined submission process, rapid review and publication, and a high level of author service at every stage - find out more here.
Neurogenesis in non-model systems
Neural Development presents a special collection of articles focused on understanding neurogenesis in an array of diverse phylogenetically informative species highlighting fundamental commonalities and differences in neuronal development throughout the animal kingdom.
This collection is closed to new submissions.
