Seminars in the Neurosciences is a review journal.  Each issue is devoted to
a single topic or theme of current interest to neuroscientists, and is
edited by a guest editor appointed for that issue.  The aim of each issue is
to provide a co-ordinated, topical review of a selected subject that will be
of interest to all levels of reader from the senior undergraduate to the
researcher.  Forthcoming topics (with guest editor): Dopamine (Trevor W.
Robbins); Immune Responses in the Nervous System (Cedric S. Raine); Building
the Architecture of the Nervous System (Andrew Lumsden).  The Editorial
Advisory Board for the journal is: Marianne Bonner-Fraser, J.P. Changeux,
Klaus Peter Hoffman, John S. Kelly, Peter Kennedy, Motoy Kuno, Dale Purves,
and Janis C. Weeks.
