Ageing Research Reviews

  • ISSN: 1568-1637
  • 5 Year impact factor: 13
  • Impact factor: 12.5
As the average human life expectancy has increased, so too has the impact of ageing and age-related disease on our society. Ageing research is now the focus of thousands of laboratories that include leaders in the areas of genetics, molecular and cellular biology, biochemistry, and behaviour. Ageing Research Reviews (ARR) covers the trends in this field. It is designed to fill a large void, namely, a source for critical reviews and viewpoints on emerging findings on mechanisms of ageing and age-related disease. Rapid advances in understanding of mechanisms that control cellular proliferation, differentiation and survival are leading to new insight into the regulation of ageing. From telomerase to stem cells to energy and oxyradical metabolism, this is an exciting new era in the multidisciplinary field of ageing research. The cellular and molecular underpinnings of manipulations that extend lifespan, such as caloric restriction, are being identified and novel approaches for preventing age-related diseases are being developed. ARR publishes articles on focussed topics selected from the broad field of ageing research, with an emphasis on cellular and molecular mechanisms of the aging process and age-related diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders. Applications of basic ageing research to lifespan extension and disease prevention are also covered in this journal.

In addition, the journal reports studies on the effects alcohol on brain mechanisms of neuroplasticity over the life span, biological factors associated with adolescent alcohol abuse, pharmacotherapeutic strategies in the treatment of alcoholism, biological and biochemical markers of alcohol abuse and alcoholism, pathological effects of uncontrolled drinking, biomedical and molecular factors in the effects on liver, immune system, and other organ systems, and biomedical aspects of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder including mechanisms of damage, diagnosis and early detection, treatment, and prevention. Articles are published from all levels of biomedical inquiry, including the following: molecular and cellular studies of alcohol's actions in vitro and in vivo; animal model studies of genetic, pharmacological, behavioral, developmental or pathophysiological aspects of alcohol; human studies of genetic, behavioral, cognitive, neuroimaging, or pathological aspects of alcohol drinking; clinical studies of diagnosis (including dual diagnosis), treatment, prevention, and epidemiology. The journal will publish 9 issues per year; the accepted abbreviation for Alcohol for bibliographic citation is Alcohol.Alcohol subscribes to the tenets of The Farmington Consensus. Submission of a paper to the journal will be taken as evidence that the authors have complied with the tenets set forth in the Consensus. All submitted material will be subject to peer review. Alcohol considers three types of manuscripts for publication:- Original research articles are full-length reports of the authors' original research addressing topics consistent with the Aims and Scope of the journal.

Brain Network Disorders

  • ISSN: 3050-6239
Brain Network Disorders (BND) is an open access, peer-reviewed journal sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association, managed by Xuanwu Hospital Capital Medical University. The Journal publishes Original Article, Review, Short Communication, Case Report, Correspondence, Editorial, Practice Guidelines, Systematic Review, and Meta Analysis. The interest of the Journal encompasses a broad range of cross-disciplinary studies that bridge the knowledge gap between bench science and bedside clinical applications. The aim is to accelerate the translation of emerging data on chronic brain disorders, form theory to practice, by creating a platform for rapid exchange of information and ideas among investigators and clinicians representing diverse fields including but not limited to:Neurology, neuroscience, psychiatry, neuroimage, and epidemiologyNeurodegenerative diseases and chronic brain aging disorders, cerebrovascular diseases, stroke, epilepsy, movement disorders, cognitive disorders, psychological abnormalities, and care researchNeuroimmunology, neurogenetics, evolutionary neuroscience, neuro-oncology, molecular and cellular neuroscience, neurophysiology, behavioral neurology, pharmacology, neuropathology, functional neuroanatomy, geriatrics, and electrophysiologyFunctional neurosurgery and neurology, brain–computer interface, brain network, connectomic mechanisms, and circuit disordersArtificial intelligence, machine learning, and computational biology Bioengineering and other technologies for general brain diseasesOmics-based studiesOther related topicsThe primary objective of the BND Journal is to establish a distinguished international forum for the exchange of information and the swift dissemination of emerging knowledge on connectome-related brain disorders. The Journal specifically aims to foster diverse conceptual models to characterize a variety of neuropsychiatric disorders, collectively termed "dysconnectivity syndromes." This goal is pursued by encouraging the development of novel paradigms that define these conditions not solely based on localized lesions but also in terms of dysfunctions in multiple interconnected systems and neural networks. The Journal seeks to contribute to constructing a more comprehensive network map, extending beyond current connectome efforts focused on structural connectivity, by incorporating a broad spectrum of systems or variables that influence functional connectivity dynamics in the healthy brain. These factors include genomic, vascular-metabolic, immune-inflammatory, cell signaling, co-morbid conditions, nutrition, endocrine, and other lifestyle elements.Recent advancements in quantum computing, machine learning algorithms, and in silico modeling systems have begun to provide essential tools to address the complexities of brain network disorders. Consequently, the Journal advocates for developing innovative conceptual models derived from complexity sciences and general system theory to elucidate the causal or mechanistic relationships between these intricate brain disorders' biological and behavioral aspects. This approach allows for the simulation of interactions and the respective influence of various variables in the manifestation of dysconnectivity syndromes as "systems failures" and the clinical-behavioral features of these neuropsychiatric conditions as "emergent behaviors" of complex systems. The Journal anticipates that this line of inquiry will pave the way for new methodologies to (a) explain the etiologies, (b) develop more precise diagnostic tools, and (c) discover effective interventions for these multifaceted brain disorders.The BND Journal fosters a global exchange of pioneering research and swift dissemination of emerging knowledge on connectome-related brain disorders. By championing the development of diverse conceptual models and encouraging the formulation of novel paradigms, the Journal aims to deepen our understanding of dysconnectivity syndromes. The integration of recent technological advancements, such as quantum computing, machine learning algorithms, and in silico modeling, underscores the Journal's commitment to addressing the complexities of brain network disorders with unprecedented precision.The BND Journal not only seeks to elucidate the intricate mechanisms underlying these disorders but also aspires to pave the way for more accurate diagnostics and effective interventions. By shedding light on the interactions among key variables that maintain functional connectivity in the healthy brain, the Journal contributes to advancing the field of neuropsychiatry and improving clinical outcomes. Through its dedication to innovative research, the Brain Network Disorders Journal will undoubtedly play a pivotal role in transforming our approach to understanding and treating complex brain disorders.
