Neuron Communications is an international, open-access journal that publishes studies exploring the molecular structures, cellular networks, and functional interactions between neurons and other cell types such as glial and immune cells, so as to advance our understanding of cell-to-cell interactions in the nervous system, particularly during neural development, aging, injury, and regeneration.

The journal welcomes studies that go beyond single-cell or single-molecule analysis to explore the network-level, structural, and functional relationships between cells, especially in the context of emerging single-cell, spatial, and systems-level technologies. Research integrating molecular biology, neurophysiology, regenerative neuroscience, and computational approaches to uncover cellular interactions and signaling pathways is particularly encouraged.
