Aims and scopeJournal metrics Editorial board Somatosensory & Motor Research publishes original, high-quality research articles related to the neural bases for somatic sensation, somatic motor function, somatic motor integration, and somatic modeling. We encourage authors and researchers to submit their work on: Peripheral and central processes fundamental to cutaneous sensation. Afferent and efferent mechanisms of deep structures (e.g., viscera, muscle). Motor systems of the neuraxis/nueoraxis. Anatomical, physiological, biochemical, pharmacological, behavioral and psychophysical research as it relates to somatosensory or motor systems. Experimental and descriptive studies in animals, including humans, as it related to somatosensory and motor function. We discourage submissions on clinical case reports and neuropathological findings unless they illuminate somatosensory and motor mechanisms. Descriptions of modifications in techniques, theoretical papers and critical reviews are rarely accepted; authors contemplating such contributions should consult the Editor in Chief. Somatosensory & Motor Research uses ScholarOne Manuscripts (previously Manuscript Central) to submit and peer review manuscripts.
