Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology (FIN)is comprised of comprehensive review articles, systematic reviews, opinion pieces, and meta-analyses. Most of the reviews are invited but we welcome unsolicited reviews and meta-analyses, and proposals for thematic special issues provided they meet the quality threshold of the journal. We also encourage authors to submit proposals for commentaries which succinctly raise new ideas or provide additional analysis to further explore ramifications of an article published in FIN.Areas of interest include:Endocrine interactions that influence neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative diseaseSex differences in clinical populations and in pre-clinical modelsStress and stress systems interactions with health and diseaseNeuroendocrine influences on health across the lifespan from development, puberty, adulthood and agingMicrobiota/neuroendocrine interactions with health and diseaseNeuroendocrine -immune interactions: links to behavior and diseaseIntegrative cellular, molecular and behavioral aspects of hormonally active neuropeptidesComparative and clinical neuroendocrinologyNeuroendocrine control of energy balance, glucose homeostasis, and metabolism.
