Motivation: Without trying to sound bitter that the paper was desk rejected (which of course can happen), my impression is that Nature Neuroscience is very, very slow relative to comparable journals (like Neuron, for example).

Motivation: The feedback from the editor to justify the rejection was rather generic and not very useful. It would have been very useful to describe specific issues to be resolved or addressed by complementary experiments to make the manuscript potentially suitable to be sent to reviewers.

Motivation: we had corrected an over- and mis-interpreted paper previously published in nature neuroscience, yet editor thought the topic was not in the scope of the journal. (i dont want to disrespect authors published in nature neuro) but does that mean nature neuro publishes only wrong paper or what ?

Motivation: Really long for a desk reject... given other people's experiences I will skip nature neuro in the future unless I'm really sure it will go through. Could definitely have gone out for review somewhere else by now.

Motivation: Overall, pleased with the process. Submission was straightforward, editorial response was swift. Also provided a reasonable explanation for the editorial rejection.
