Dear Readers of Frontiers in Autonomic Neuroscience,

As you are all aware, autonomic neuroscience is a multidisciplinary field, in which authors choose a journal based on its perceived impact but, more importantly, on its relevance and readership. Together, the Frontiers journals are broad in scope, yet the areas covered by individual journals within the Frontiers stable are necessarily narrower. Now, to facilitate your use of the Frontiers articles we are going to highlight those articles published in our sister journals that are relevant to us working in autonomic neuroscience.

So, here is a wrap-up of articles you may have missed over the last few months.
