STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the appointment of Professor Ted Abel of the University of Pennsylvania as the new Editor-in-Chief of the journal Neurobiology of Learning and Memory. He succeeds Professor John Guzowski of the University of California at Irvine.
Professor Abel will work to increase the presence of the journal, build its reputation as the place to publish important findings in a timely fashion and expand its coverage in two areas - the cognitive and systems neuroscience of memory and the molecular mechanisms underlying learning and memory.
Professor Abel is the Brush Family Professor of Biology in the School of Arts and Sciences at the University of Pennsylvania. He is also Co-Director of the Biological Basis of Behavior Program and Director of an NIMH-funded pre-doctoral training program in behavioral and cognitive neuroscience. He has received numerous awards, including the University of Pennsylvania School of Arts and Sciences Dean’s Award for Mentorship of Undergraduate Research, a John Merck Scholars Award, a David and Lucile Packard Fellowship in Science and Engineering and the Daniel X. Freedman Award from the National Alliance for Research on Schizophrenia and Depression (NARSAD).
Neurobiology of Learning and Memory provides a forum for developing and nurturing an international community of scholars and practitioners who are interested in all aspects of the neurobiology of learning and memory. The journal welcomes high quality articles that contribute to the full range of research on neural and behavioral plasticity, including learning and memory and related aspects of neural adaptation, at all levels of analysis from molecular biology to behaviour. Research areas include all areas of the neurobiology of learning and memory.
