ResumoAfter nearly a year as the Editor-in-Chief, it is time to reflect on the past months and to write the traditional Passages editorial that opens a new annual volume of the Journal of Comparative Neurology. I wish to note, in passing, that it was a particular pleasure and honor to present our former Editor-in-Chief, Clif Saper, with the 2012 Sanford L. Palay Award for his outstanding contributions to the field of structural neuroscience and for his indefatigable service to the Journal for more than 20 years. The award is made by our publisher, John Wiley & Sons, and by the Journal of Comparative Neurology at the social event of the Cajal Club during the Society for Neuroscience annual meeting. Clif remains with us as an Editor Emeritus. With the transition from Clif's leadership complete, I have had the opportunity to consider new developments, as well as improvements for the Journal, and have begun to implement some. To begin with a popular topic, the issue of our antibody policy being a frequently discussed matter, but one for which I received unequivocal marks of support from many readers and contributors, we are, with the publisher, continuing our efforts to update the antibody database on a regular basis and to clear it of redundancies and errors. I must salute the efforts of our Managing Editor, Adam Gordon, whose dedication to this tedious task has been nothing but remarkable. We are currently exploring ways to enhance the contents of the database to include more information about the documented antibodies that would thus be directly available to authors. Also, in a joint effort with the publisher, we have initiated an exploration, which we hope to be as systematic as possible, of the historic contents of the Journal, with the concept of republishing some of its landmark papers. We started with the 1896 description by Kenyon of honeybee mushroom bodies, which reports the neurons that were later to bear his name, to reflect the long tradition of insect neuroscience studies in JCN. A virtual issue that included a note written by Ian Meinertzhagen, featuring modern studies on the mushroom bodies published in the Journal, is available from the Journal's website. Other such projects are currently underway. We added a “Featured articles” link to the webpage that makes articles selected for their contents freely accessible for a period of time, after which they are replaced by newer papers. Also, the Journal now has a downloadable iPad App, with which readers can browse figures and images, or search abstracts and articles. In addition, the online table of contents of each issue is now enhanced with a graphical abstract that features a small image and a short description that summarizes each paper accepted for publication from January, 2012, onward. Also, to keep up with the increasing demand for disclosure from academic institutions and perceptible concerns about authorships in the scientific community, we decided to request from our authors that a statement of conflict of interest and a statement of authors' contributions to the work be included as new sections in their submissions. These now appear after the Acknowledgments section in published papers. I take this opportunity to thank the Publishing Editor of JCN, Matthew Giampoala, who has helped me through the year in implementing all of these developments. One of my goals for the Journal was to open it to the field of brain imaging. I believe that this is an area into which JCN could expand very successfully and evolve to be a desirable place for publishing such studies. My idea was to promote the publication of papers dealing with the structural and functional organization of our own species, in an integrated manner, with studies of brain diseases and of specific systems. This required reinforcing the Editorial Board by appointing experts in brain imaging, as well as a new Associate Editor to represent this particular domain, to attract papers dealing with human brain imaging, as well as to capture imaging studies in animal models as they become more numerous and of higher quality. I was very fortunate to recruit Leslie Ungerleider to assume this position on our board of Associate Editors. Leslie graduated from the State University of New York at Binghamton and obtained her PhD from New York University. During her postdoctoral training with Karl Pribram at Stanford University, she began her work on higher order perceptual mechanisms in the cortex of primates. She moved to the NIMH in 1975, joining Mortimer Mishkin in the Laboratory of Neuropsychology. Their neurobehavioral work in macaque monkeys inspired their original theory of “two cortical visual systems,” one specialized for object recognition and another for visuospatial perception. In 1995, Leslie became Chief of the Laboratory of Brain and Cognition at NIMH. She is a Member of the National Academy of Sciences, of the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, and of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She received the Women in Neuroscience Lifetime Achievement Award and in 2008 became an NIH Distinguished Investigator. Her work has long been devoted to establishing links between neural structure and cognitive function, especially in the visual modality. Leslie's early work made use of anatomical tracing techniques in macaque monkeys to define cortical areas that comprise visual association regions and their connectivity. With the advent of functional brain imaging, Leslie turned her interests toward investigations of the human cortex and used her expertise in macaque neuroanatomy to develop novel hypotheses in human functional imaging studies. She joined the Journal in December, 2012. With the new year comes also the time of transitions in our editorial board. Earlier this year, we announced the retirement of Joel Price from the Board of Associate Editors and we were pleased to appoint Kathy Rockland to replace him. As continuing members, Charles Greer and Anton Reiner will remain on our Editorial Board for another 4-year term, and we take this opportunity to thank them warmly for their outstanding service and contributions. We welcome 10 new members in 2013: Ramon Anadon, Hans-Rudolf Berthoud, Susan Courtney, Sonia Garel, Suzanne Haber, Uwe Homberg, Leah Krubitzer, Luiz Pessoa, Susan Travers, and David Van Essen. We hope that they will all contribute to the Journal's success in the coming years. We also thank seven members whose terms are expiring this year and whose help and service to the Journal is greatly appreciated. They are Catherine Dulac, Ann Graybiel, Joseph LeDoux, Marcus Raichle, Joshua Sanes, Peter Strick, and Michael Stryker. We hope that they may, at a future time, rejoin our board. Finally, we must acknowledge the following individuals, who reviewed articles for the Journal over the last year. The reputation of our Journal depends on the dedication of our reviewers and the quality of their reviews, and we are deeply grateful for the willingness and hard work of all of our reviewers. Those who reviewed three or more articles are indicated by an asterisk in the following list. Reviewers indicated by an asterisk have reviewed 4 or more articles. Matti Airaksinen J.
