Instructions to Authors
ALL MANUSCRIPTS submitted to SYNAPSE must be submitted solely to this journal, may not have been published in any part or form (except as an abstract for a meeting) in another publication of any type, professional or lay, and become the property of the publisher. The publisher reserves copyright, and no published material may be reproduced or published elsewhere without the written permission of the publisher and the author. The journal will not be responsible for the loss of manuscripts at any time. All statements in, or omissions from, published manuscripts are the responsibility of the authors, who will assist the Editor by reviewing proofs before publication. Reprint order forms will be sent with page proofs. No page charges will be levied against authors or their institutions for publication in the journal.
At the time of manuscript submission, authors may suggest the names of appropriate editorial board members and several other potential referees with the requisite expertise to handle the review of the paper. Authors should supply complete affiliation, address, and telephone information for individuals not specified on the editorial board. Send your manuscript and graphics by E-Mail or on CD-ROM by conventional mail, to Dr. Johnson or Dr. Jenner, addresses shown below:

Three types of manuscripts will be considered:
1. Original Research Articles. An abstract, Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion sections are required. The literature review should be succinct. There are no restrictions on the number of pages or figures.
2. Review Articles in which a specific field is reviewed through an exhaustive literature survey. An abstract is required. A Materials and Methods section and a Results section are not required. There are no restrictions on the number of pages or figures. Review articles are usually invited, but submitted review articles will be considered.
3. Short Communications representing data on research projects which have progressed to a point where the preliminary observations should be disseminated. Examples falling into this category would be pilot studies, unanticipated findings that will need replication, initial trials on new clinically significant drugs, etc. The manuscript should consist of six or less manuscript pages, including double-spaced text, references, figures and legends. No subdivisions such as Introduction, Materials and Methods, Results, and Discussion are required. An abstract is not necessary but may be included if desired (it will count as part of the six-page limitation). It is anticipated that short communications will be published as soon as possible within journal production schedules.
Manuscripts
General instructions
Synapse now processes all manuscripts for submission and review electronically rather than on paper. This saves printing costs, mailing costs, and several weeks of regular mail transit time. Therefore, please submit your manuscript electronically by E-Mail to Dr. Johnson or Dr. Jenner (addresses listed in last column). The text should be in a word processor format, such as Microsoft Word or Word Perfect, and the graphics should be submitted as pictures either embedded in the body of the manuscript, or as separate JPGs (micrographs) or GIFs (charts and graphs) no more than about 100 kB in size each. If you cannot submit it by E-Mail, you can alternatively send it on a CD-ROM by regular mail to Dr. Johnson or Dr. Jenner. In either case, the manuscript will then be sent to referees by E-Mail. You will also be required to send revised manuscripts by E-Mail or on CD-ROM, and accepted manuscripts will need a hard copy and CD-ROM to be sent to the publisher.
The manuscript should have a uniform style and be submitted exactly as the author wishes it to appear in print. It should consist of subdivisions in the following sequence: title page; abstract; text; acknowledgments; references; footnotes; tables; figure legends. Start each subdivision on a new page.
Title page. The first page of the manuscript should include:
¡ì Title of paper
¡ì Full name of author(s)
¡ì Institutional affiliation and complete mailing address
¡ì A running title not to exceed 45 letters and spaces
¡ì Individual, address, telephone number, and fax number to whom correspondence concerning manuscript should be sent.
Key Words. Key words not in the title should be included and should not exceed 85 characters and spaces. Try to use key words such as found in the headings of Index Medicus.
Abstract. Submit an abstract of 250 words or less that will serve in lieu of a concluding summary. The abstract must be written in complete sentences and succinctly state the objectives, experimental design of the paper, and principal observations and conclusions; and be intelligible without reference to the rest of the paper.
Text. The text should be presented in the following order: INTRODUCTION; MATERIALS AND METHODS; RESULTS; DISCUSSION.

In the text, references to the literature should be made by author's name followed by year of publication arranged by alphabetical order first, then by year of publication:
...studies by Briggs (1993) reveal...
...studies by Briggs and Porter (1994) reveal...
...an earlier report (Briggs, 1994)...
...earlier reports (Briggs, 1993; Briggs and Porter, 1993, 1994)...
When references are made to more than one paper by the same author, published in the same year, they are to be designated in the text as (Nisenbaum et al., 1992a,b) and in the reference list as shown below. References are to be arranged alphabetically in the following style: Author's name(s), year of publication, complete article title, abbreviated journal title, volume, and inclusive pages as follows:
Kaufman M, Spealman R, Madras B. 1991. Distribution of cocaine recognition sites in m brain: I. In vitro autoradiography with [3H]CFT. Synapse 9:177-187.
Kiyatkin EA, Wise RA, Gratton A. 1993. Drug- and behavior-associated changes in dopamine-related electrochemical signals during intravenous heroin self-administration in rats. Synapse 14:60-72.
Nisenbaum ES, Berger TW, Grace AA. 1992a. Presynaptic modulation by GABAB receptors of glutamatergic excitation and GABAergic inhibition of neostriatal neurons. J Neurophysiol 67:477-481.
Nisenbaum ES, Grace AA, Berger TW. 1992b. Functionally distinct subpopulations of striatal neurons are differentially regulated by GABAergic and dopaminergic inputs. II. In vitro analysis. Neuroscience 48:579-593.
Roland PE. 1993. Brain Activation. New York:Wiley-Liss. pp. 365-393.
Steck PA, Nicolson, GL. 1993. Metastases to the central nervous system. In: Levine AJ, Schmidek HH, editors. Molecular Genetics of Nervous System Tumors. New YorK:Wiley-Liss. p. 371-379.
Weissman A, Caldecott-Hazard S. 1991. In utero methamphetamine differentially regulates adult brain monoamine uptake sites. Proc of Society for Neurosci 17:158.
Footnotes. Number footnotes to the text with consecutive arabic numerals. The corresponding reference numbers must be clearly indicated in the text. Additional references to the identical footnote must be numbered with the next consecutive number, for example:
1 Material used for this experiment was
2 Provided by ...
3 See footnote 2, page...
Type table footnotes to a table directly beneath the table and number them 1, 2, 3, etc. They must not be numbered in sequence with text footnotes.
Tables. All tables must be cited in the text and have titles. Number them consecutively with Roman numerals. Table titles should be complete but brief. Information other than that defining the data should be presented as footnotes. Since tabular material is expensive to reproduce, it should be simple and uncomplicated, with as few vertical and horizontal rules as possible.
Illustrations. Illustrations should be numbered in one consecutive series using arabic numerals, and keyed into the text. Name of author, figure number, and an arrow indicating orientation should be typed on a gummed label and affixed to the back of each illustration.
To achieve greatest fidelity and rendition of detail, it is preferable that the printer work directly from original drawings or high-quality photographic prints (but not photocopies made on an office duplicating machine). All illustrations must be submitted in complete and finished form with adequate labeling.
Color will be printed only at the author's expense. The charge for one page of color is $950. Second and subsequent pages, up to four, will cost $500 each. The color slide should be supplied, in addition to color prints.
Black-and-white prints. Prints should be on white, glossy photographic paper. Micrographs, electrophysiological recordings, and other such figures should be designed for reproduction at full text width (6 3/4 inches) and a maximum of 9 inches high, or at single column width (3 5/16 inches) and a maximum of 9 inches high. Place a circled number ("transfer lettering") in the bottom left corner of the illustration. Magnification may be indicated by a micron bar or in the legend. If more than one illustration is mounted as a plate, number and letter them left to right, top to bottom.
EarlyView. Articles are available online before the print version. Individual articles are published online via Wiley's EarlyView service at www.interscience.wiley.com, once a corrected proof is received by Wiley from the author. EarlyView significantly reduces publication time, as the article is considered published once it appears online. Articles are available as PDF full-text, fully-citable, and each article includes a digital object identifier (DOI) and a collaborative reference linking service through which readers can click on a reference citation and immediately access article content. Once articles are published electronically, it is not possible for authors to make further changes before the print version appears. The print version will indicate the online publication date. Authors may read more about DOIs at www.doi.org. Reference linking information is available at www.crossref.org
Disk Submission Instructions
Please return your final, revised manuscript on disk as well as hard copy.
The hard copy must match the disk.
The Journal strongly encourages authors to deliver the final, revised version of their accepted manuscripts (text, tables, and, if possible, illustrations) on disk. Given the near-universal use of computer word-processing for manuscript preparation, we anticipate that providing a disk will be convenient for you, and it carries the added advantages of maintaining the integrity of your keystrokes and expediting typesetting. Please return the disk submission slip below with your manuscript and labeled disk(s).
Guidelines for Electronic Submission
Text
Storage medium. 3-1/2" high-density disk in IBM MS-DOS, Windows, or Macintosh format.
Software and format. Microsoft Word 6.0 is preferred, although manuscripts prepared with any other microcomputer word processor are acceptable. Refrain from complex formatting; the Publisher will style your manuscript according to the Journal design specifications. Do not use desktop publishing software such as Aldus PageMaker or Quark XPress. If you prepared your manuscript with one of these programs, export the text to a word processing format. Please make sure your word processing program's "fast save" feature is turned off. Please do not deliver files that contain hidden text: for example, do not use your word processor's automated features to create footnotes or reference lists.
File names. Submit the text and tables of each manuscript as a single file. Name each file with your last name (up to eight letters). Text files should be given the three-letter extension that identifies the file format. Macintosh users should maintain the MS-DOS "eight dot three" file-naming convention.
Labels. Label all disks with your name, the file name, and the word processing program and version used.
Illustrations
All print reproduction requires files for full color images to be in a CMYK color space. If possible, ICC or ColorSync profiles of your output device should accompany all digital image submissions.
Storage medium. Submit as separate files from text files, on separate disks or cartridges. If feasible, full color files should be submitted on separate disks from other image files. 3-1/2" high-density disks, CD, Iomega Zip, and 5 1/4" 44- or 88-MB SyQuest cartridges can be submitted. At authors' request, cartridges and disks will be returned after publication.
Software and format. All illustration files should be in TIFF or EPS (with preview) formats. Do not submit native application formats.
Resolution. Journal quality reproduction will require greyscale and color files at resolutions yielding approximately 300 ppi. Bitmapped line art should be submitted at resolutions yielding 600-1200 ppi. These resolutions refer to the output size of the file; if you anticipate that your images will be enlarged or reduced, resolutions should be adjusted accordingly.
File names. Illustration files should be given the 2- or 3-letter extension that identifies the file format used (i.e., .tif, .eps).
Labels. Label all disks and cartridges with your name, the file names, formats, and compression schemes (if any) used. Hard copy output must accompany all files.
