We are pleased to announce that the official 2-year impact factor of FBCNS for 2023 is now 5.9, with a ranking of 35 and in the 88th percentile among Neuroscience journals.

Genetic Aspects of Hydrocephalus
This series addresses new research and reviews on genetic aspects of hydrocephalus, including both human genetic studies seeking to identify new genetic causes of hydrocephalus and animal studies using genetic manipulations to provide insight into the role of specific proteins/pathways in regulating CSF dynamics and hydrocephalus development.

FBCNS is ranked in the top quartile of the Developmental Neuroscience, Neurology and Neuroscience subject categories, by SCImago Journal Rank.
