Figures and references should be limited to a maximum of 4 and 100, respectively. FORMAT Mini-reviews should conform to JAP style guidelines, available in the Instructions for Authors section of the American Physiological Society website. http://www.the-aps.org/mm/Publications/Info-For-Authors CONTENT A mini-review, by definition, is a non-exhaustive review of a selected topic area. It is appropriate to provide a discussion on future research directions, including potential applications to humans, if applicable. Whenever appropriate, it is recommended that authors include references to past JAP articles, especially those published within the last two years. Mini-reviews should include an abstract and should employ cartoons or other types of summary figures to address major issues. Questions regarding content should be directed to the Associate Editor and/or Guest Editor coordinating the Highlighted Topics series.
