The main purpose of this meeting was to promote and develop research in Neurosciences. This interaction took place in a privileged way at this meeting and brought together the vibrant Portuguese Neuroscience community that significantly advances this defying area. This Research Topic comprises nine manuscripts covering some of the work presented at SPN2019 and hot topics in neurosciences: neurodevelopment; cellular and molecular neurosciences; neurodegeneration; glia and neuroinflammation; drug and addiction; sensory processing; and rare disorders.engCellular and molecular neurosciencesDrug and addictionGlia and neuroinflammationNeurodegenerationNeurodevelopmentRare disordersSensory processingjournal article10.3389/fnmol.2021.7535001662-5099
