#####Welcome To r/neuroscience!

Description:

This is a subreddit dedicated to the aggregation and discussion of articles and miscellaneous content regarding neuroscience and its associated disciplines.

Please note that r/neuroscience is intended to provide an academic and more moderated experience. For a more casual take, check out r/neuro.

Subreddit Rules:

We ask that users kindly obey the following set of ground rules:

Posts must be on-topic to neuroscience and academic in nature.
Link posts are limited to academic journal content. Domains on our whitelist are auto-approved; all others are screened by the moderator team. To see the current whitelist please see this wiki page and message the moderators to request changes to it.
Pop-science articles, news summaries of academic articles, and blog-spam are not allowed. If you wish to post a news summary - first create a link post for the academic article (even if behind a paywall) and then post the news summary in the comments.
Text posts are limited to in-depth discussions that are academic in nature. All text posts are pre-screened by the moderator team before appearing on the front-page to ensure quality. This will come down to the subjective judgement of the moderator team, but discussions about research methods or a breakthrough concept are two examples of posts that are likely to be considered academic in nature.
No medical advice questions, questions about your personal health situation, or drug use questions. If you must solicit advice on these topics from the internet, see r/AskDocs and r/AskDrugNerds, respectively.
No top-level text posts of quick questions that Wikipedia or Google could answer. Our stickied Beginner Megathread is the appropriate forum for short form discussion.
No top-level text posts about school or career path questions. Our School and Career Megathread is the appropriate forum for discussion about these topics. (We’ll be stickying this megathread after a week or so once the rule changes are no longer new and we have a sticky slot available.)
No undisclosed self-promotion. Message the moderator team to request pre-approval for anything that promotes yourself, your employer, or something you made or contributed to.
