Neuroscience

Neuroscience is the official journal of the International Brain Research Organization (IBRO). Founded in 1976, Neuroscience is IBRO’s flagship journal and its profits support IBRO's numerous international initiatives for investigators at all career stages and the neuroscience community worldwide.

Neuroscience publishes high-quality peer-reviewed articles on fundamental science, meta-analyses, clinical studies, and reviews focused on the scientific study of the central, peripheral, and enteric nervous systems.

As an international, interdisciplinary journal, Neuroscience covers research in molecular, cellular, developmental, systems, behavioural, cognitive and computational neuroscience.

Neuroscience and IBRO are committed to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of the journal. We strongly encourage consideration of diversity in authorship teams and article references. Additionally, we require robust justification for the choice of sex and gender in cellular and animal models, as well as in patient inclusion/exclusion criteria in clinical trials or sample collection.

Research areas include, but are not limited to:

The central, peripheral, and enteric nervous systems, including neuroscience related to the brain, retina, spinal cord, and gut-brain axis.

The neuroscience of physiological processes encompassing all life stages (development, adulthood, aging) and related to multiple conditions, including infection, memory, neuroimmunology, pain, addiction, reward, stress, and synaptic plasticity.

Neurological diseases and disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, autism spectrum disorder, deafness, mood disorders, epilepsy, Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and stroke.

Neuroinflammation, including the role of microglia, astrocytes, and other non-neuronal nervous system cell types.

Neuroscience related to the understanding of cognition, emotion, and behaviour.

Neuroscience-related techniques and technologies, including artificial intelligence, computational neuroscience, electrophysiology, optogenetics, and neural imaging.

Neuroscience-related therapeutics, including pharmaceutical interventions, exercise, nutrition, neuroscience reprogramming, stem cell therapy, transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Reviews: We welcome unsolicited reviews that offer new insights, perspectives, or opinions on a controversy or innovation in the field. Reviews that merely reiterate background information will not be accepted.
