Declining or Waning
- Traditional Histological Techniques:
While still relevant, there is a noticeable decrease in the publication of studies relying solely on traditional histological methods, as newer imaging technologies gain preference for their ability to provide more detailed insights. - Basic Anatomical Descriptions Without Functional Context:
Papers that focus purely on structural descriptions without linking findings to functional implications or disease relevance are becoming less common, as the field moves towards integrative approaches. - Studies on Non-Mammalian Models:
Although comparative studies are still valued, there has been a reduced emphasis on non-mammalian models in favor of more translational research that focuses on mammalian systems, particularly in relation to human health. - Overly Specialized Topics with Limited Broader Impact:
Research papers that delve into very niche topics without broader implications for neuroanatomy or neuroscience are seeing a decline, as the journal encourages more holistic and impactful studies.
