The Transmitter is an online publication dedicated to neuroscience research news and commentary. Aimed at professionals from across the neuroscience discipline, the website is an editorially-independent publication of the Simons Foundation.[1]

History

[edit]

Spectrum

[edit]

In 2008, the Simons Foundation Autism Research Initiative website debuted a News & Opinion section, which relaunched as Spectrum magazine in 2015.[2] The online publication was dedicated to new findings in autism spectrum disorder research.[3] It was funded by the Simons Foundation.[4][5]

The Transmitter

[edit]

The Spectrum editorial team founded The Transmitter to expand the publication's neuroscience coverage beyond the autism field; autism stories are covered on The Transmitter within a dedicated Spectrum vertical.[6] Like its predecessor, The Transmitter is funded by the Simons Foundation but maintains editorial independence.[1][7] The new website was launched on November 13, 2023, with an announcement at a satellite event hosted by the Simons Foundation during the 2023 Society for Neuroscience meeting in Washington, D.C..[7][8]
