Neuron template — frequently asked questions
How do I write a paper in the Neuron format?

What reference style does Neuron use?
Neuron uses Numbered (Elsevier) 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.
