Has anyone so far written a JNeurosci journal article. I am looking for a LaTex template for doing so. 
This is how it looks finished.
Thank you!

I expect that the dimensions of the text body are chosen on purpose. Filling a complete A4 (or letter) paper would either require
- very long lines ⇒ poor readability; or
- quite large margins ⇒ ineffective high paper costs).
Therefore I assume that the one-column layout is intended for a final paper size that is smaller than A4 (or letter). And I expect that the large margins on the right and the bottom are automatically removed by the journal.
If you want to review a more symmetrical page layout, then the large margins can be reduced to the amount of their counterparts. The following code can be put at the beginning of the file (e.g. template.tex). Before submitting, I would remove it. Package geometry does not change the layout, if option pass is given. But the package tells the page dimensions to the output driver
(\pdfpagewidth/\pdfpageheight for pdfTeX, LuaTeX, XeTeX; \special{papersize=...} for dvips, ...).
\AtBeginDocument{%
\paperwidth=\dimexpr
1in + \oddsidemargin
+ \textwidth
% + \marginparsep + \marginparwidth
+ 1in + \oddsidemargin
\relax
\paperheight=\dimexpr
1in + \topmargin
+ \headheight + \headsep
+ \textheight
% + \footskip
+ 1in + \topmargin
\relax
\usepackage[pass]{geometry}\relax
}
The final paper size is now about 169.3 mm × 247.4 mm.
Or the original document can be included in a print document via pdfpages. Options trim control the removed margins. Also the page can be scaled to the output page size A4:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
% \extratrim is removed from the margins at each side
\newlength{\extratrim}
\setlength{\extratrim}{10mm}
\newcommand*{\trimexpr}[1]{\dimexpr(#1)+\extratrim\relax}
\begin{document}
\includepdf[
pages=-,
trim=\trimexpr{0mm} \trimexpr{49.6mm} \trimexpr{40.7mm} \trimexpr{0mm},
]{template.pdf}
\end{document}
From the ITE Research Journals FAQs:
Is there a LaTeX template I can use?
Unfortunately we do not have a template for LaTeX. Please refer to our author guide.
What are acceptable source files?
Main document - doc. pdf (tex. files must be supplied with the pdf)
Effectively, in the Home > Journals & magazines > Author guide - IET research journals one can read:
2.3.1. Revised papers should be submitted in their source file format (.doc, docx or .tex files for text and .eps, jpeg or .tif files for figures). If your paper has been prepared using LaTeX, please also upload a single .pdf file of the paper together with the LaTeX source file and the figures.
Also relevant:
5.2. Format: papers must be typed ... Authors should not copy the format of the published journal. All accepted papers will be edited into the IET Research Journals house-style. Please double space and ....
Therefore, it seem that the LaTeX template is mostly irrelevant. Probably is a good idea use only some essential packages as graphicx, and stand in the standard article class following the format requirements of this point.
The exception in theiet.org seem to be the Author guide for Electronics Letters where you can download a LaTeX document class (el-author.cls) and a example-template. (sample.tex).

There is a template for JNeurosci on Authorea:
You have to log in to Authorea to access it I think, but having done that, you have the option of downloading a
.texfile, via a button in the top right:Note: The output does not look like a published article, but neither should it. Most journals use one format for submission, and a different one for publishing. You are not supposed to worry about getting the format just like what you show in your image, only that you follow the author instructions on the journal website. That means for example using the structure described there, and that your document has double line spacing and numbered lines.
