2018 marks the 40 anniversary of Trends in Neurosciences (TINS), which I had the honor of joining last summer as its editor. As part of the anniversary, we will be issuing a series of 40 short Science and Society articles, each highlighting a past paper (or two) published during one of the years 1978–2017. At its core, the series aims to showcase the breadth of neuroscientific research, and give a glimpse of the remarkable progress during the last few decades. The February issue of TINS launches the series, with four articles discussing papers from 1978, 1988, 1998, and 2008.

TINS 40 岁了

2018 年是《神经科学趋势》(TINS) 40 周年，去年夏天我有幸加入该杂志担任编辑。作为周年纪念的一部分，我们将发布 40 篇短篇科学与社会文章，每篇都重点介绍在 1978-2017 年间发表的一篇（或两篇）过去的论文。该系列的核心旨在展示神经科学研究的广度，并让人们一睹过去几十年的显着进步。TINS 2 月刊推出了该系列，其中有四篇文章讨论了 1978 年、1988 年、1998 年和 2008 年的论文。
