Small-World Brain Networks

Danielle S. Bassett, Edward T. Bullmore · 1 Nov 2006

Many complex networks have a small-world topology characterized by dense local clustering or cliquishness of connections between neighboring nodes yet a short path length between any (distant) pair of nodes due to the existence of relatively few long-range connections. This is an attractive model for the organization of brain anatomical and functional networks because a…

Physiological Basis of Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation

Charlotte J. Stagg, Michael A. Nitsche · 1 Feb 2011

Since the rediscovery of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) about 10 years ago, interest in tDCS has grown exponentially. A noninvasive stimulation technique that induces robust excitability changes within the stimulated cortex, tDCS is increasingly being used in proof-of-principle and stage IIa clinical trials in a wide range of neurological and psychiatric disorders. Alongside these…

The Angular Gyrus

Mohamed L. Seghier · 30 Apr 2012

There is considerable interest in the structural and functional properties of the angular gyrus (AG). Located in the posterior part of the inferior parietal lobule, the AG has been shown in numerous meta-analysis reviews to be consistently activated in a variety of tasks. This review discusses the involvement of the AG in semantic processing, word…

Dorsal and Ventral Attention Systems

Simone Vossel, Joy J. Geng, Gereon R. Fink · 8 Jul 2013

The idea of two separate attention networks in the human brain for the voluntary deployment of attention and the reorientation to unexpected events, respectively, has inspired an enormous amount of research over the past years. In this review, we will reconcile these theoretical ideas on the dorsal and ventral attentional system with recent empirical findings…

The Brain’s Default Network and Its Adaptive Role in Internal Mentation

Jessica R. Andrews‐Hanna · 15 Jun 2011

During the many idle moments that comprise daily life, the human brain increases its activity across a set of midline and lateral cortical brain regions known as the "default network." Despite the robustness with which the brain defaults to this pattern of activity, surprisingly little is known about the network's precise anatomical organization and adaptive…

The Neuroscientist template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the The Neuroscientist format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the The Neuroscientist template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official SAGE format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does The Neuroscientist use?
The Neuroscientist uses Author–year (Harvard) references, shown as author–year markers such as (Smith, 2023) in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: Smith, A., Jones, B. and Lee, C. (2023) 'A representative article title', The Neuroscientist, 12(3), pp. 45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to The Neuroscientist?
No. DocuGuru generates the sagej LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a SAGE-ready The Neuroscientist 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 The Neuroscientist template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the The Neuroscientist format with correct headings, figures, tables, and author–year citations.
Who publishes The Neuroscientist?
The Neuroscientist is a multidisciplinary journal published by SAGE. DocuGuru's The Neuroscientist template matches SAGE's official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready The Neuroscientist PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official The Neuroscientist template (the sagej class) that is ready to submit to SAGE, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the The Neuroscientist template cost?
You can start writing in the The Neuroscientist template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready The Neuroscientist PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
