Most-cited papers in BMC Neuroscience

An information integration theory of consciousness

Giulio Tononi · 2 Nov 2004

BACKGROUND: Consciousness poses two main problems. The first is understanding the conditions that determine to what extent a system has conscious experience. For instance, why is our consciousness generated by certain parts of our brain, such as the thalamocortical system, and not by other parts, such as the cerebellum? And why are we conscious during…

An extremely rich repertoire of bursting patterns during the development of cortical cultures

Daniel A. Wagenaar, Jerome Pine, Steve M. Potter · 7 Feb 2006

BACKGROUND: We have collected a comprehensive set of multi-unit data on dissociated cortical cultures. Previous studies of the development of the electrical activity of dissociated cultures of cortical neurons each focused on limited aspects of its dynamics, and were often based on small numbers of observed cultures. We followed 58 cultures of different densities--3000 to…

Left inferior frontal gyrus is critical for response inhibition

Diane Swick, Victoria Ashley, And U. Turken · 21 Oct 2008

BACKGROUND: Lesion studies in human and non-human primates have linked several different regions of prefrontal cortex (PFC) with the ability to inhibit inappropriate motor responses. However, recent functional neuroimaging studies have specifically implicated right inferior PFC in response inhibition. Right frontal dominance for inhibitory motor control has become a commonly accepted view, although support for…

Intranasal delivery bypasses the blood-brain barrier to target therapeutic agents to the central nervous system and treat neurodegenerative disease

Leah R. Hanson, William H. Frey · 1 Dec 2008

Intranasal delivery provides a practical, non-invasive method of bypassing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) to deliver therapeutic agents to the brain and spinal cord. This technology allows drugs that do not cross the BBB to be delivered to the central nervous system within minutes. It also directly delivers drugs that do cross the BBB to the…

Replicate high-density rat genome oligonucleotide microarrays reveal hundreds of regulated genes in the dorsal root ganglion after peripheral nerve injury.

Michael Costigan, Katia Befort, Laurie A. Karchewski et al. · 25 Oct 2002

BACKGROUND: Rat oligonucleotide microarrays were used to detect changes in gene expression in the dorsal root ganglion (DRG) 3 days following sciatic nerve transection (axotomy). Two comparisons were made using two sets of triplicate microarrays, naïve versus naïve and naïve versus axotomy. RESULTS: Microarray variability was assessed using the naïve versus naïve comparison. These results…

BMC Neuroscience template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the BMC Neuroscience format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the BMC Neuroscience template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does BMC Neuroscience use?
BMC Neuroscience uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. BMC Neuroscience. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to BMC Neuroscience?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready BMC Neuroscience document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the BMC Neuroscience template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the BMC Neuroscience format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is BMC Neuroscience?
BMC / BioMed Central journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by BMC (BioMed Central).
Can I export a submission-ready BMC Neuroscience PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official BMC Neuroscience template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the BMC Neuroscience template cost?
You can start writing in the BMC Neuroscience template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready BMC Neuroscience PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
