Dear Colleagues, [We apologize if you have received multiple copies of this message]   We would like to draw your attention to the special volume on "Applications of Operations Research for Neuroscience" in the Annals of Operations Research. We cordially invite researchers in neuroscience who use operations research methods and related mathematical fields to contribute to this special issue. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following areas of neuroscience:  * intracellular signaling and regulation  * synaptic plasticity  * dynamics in heterogeneous neural networks  * intelligent systems and control  * perceptual, cognitive and behavioral functions  * learning and memory  * spatio-temporal network analysis  * combinatorial optimization  * signal and information processing  * neuroimaging and functional brain imaging processing  * computational modelling and simulation   Please note that the use of methods from modern operations research is a prerequisite for any paper submitted to this special issue to be accepted for review. Important Dates: Submission deadline of full papers: August 1, 2015. Submission Details: The format of manuscripts for the Annals of Operations Research as well as guidelines can be found on the web page of Springer, the publisher of the journal: http://www.springer.com/business/operations+research/journal/10479 Authors should submit a cover letter mentioning that the paper is for a special volume, along with and a manuscript via the journal's online submission site: http://www.editorialmanager.com/anor More details can be found in the Call for Paper attached to this e-mail. Please consider sharing this call for papers with any researchers who might be interested in contributing.
