Brain Mechanisms

  • ISSN: 0891-0618
  • 5 Year impact factor: 2.6
  • Impact factor: 2.7
AimsBrain Mechanisms is dedicated to advancing the boundaries of neuroscience by providing a comprehensive platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge research on the dynamic processes underlying brain function and dysfunction. Our mission is to foster a deeper understanding of the intricate mechanisms of nervous systems through high-quality, integrative, and transdisciplinary research. We aim to bridge gaps across various levels of explanation, from molecular and cellular interactions during development to complex behavioral and cognitive functions, including emotional regulation and consciousness. By doing so, we pave the way for breakthroughs in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of brain disorders.ScopeBrain Mechanisms welcomes original research articles, reviews, short communications, and methodological papers that explore the following areas:- Neuroimaging and Neurophysiology: Studies employing advanced imaging and recording techniques to reveal the structure and function of nervous systems.- Experimental Neuropathology: Studies employing models to elucidate physiology and pathophysiology of disease mechanisms of nervous systems.- Molecular and Cellular Neuroscience: Research on the molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie neural function, including synaptic transmission, neural plasticity, and signal transduction.- Genetics and Genomics: Investigations into the genetic and genomic basis of neural development, function, and disorders, including studies using various omics technologies.- Behavioral and Cognitive Neuroscience: Research on the neural basis of behavior and cognition, including studies on learning, memory, emotion, consciousness, and decision-making.- Computational Neuroscience: The application of computational models and simulations to understand neural processes and predict behavior.- Neuroinformatics and Big Data: Studies leveraging big data and bioinformatics approaches to integrate and interpret complex neuroscience datasets.- Transdisciplinary Approaches: Collaborative research that integrates perspectives from molecular biology, psychology, computational sciences, and other disciplines to address complex questions in neuroscience, such as human speech, linguistic and symbolic abilities, and tool use.- Neuroscience and AI: Research on the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies to neuroscience, including studies on brain-machine interfaces and neuroprosthetics.- Clinical Neuroscience: Studies on the mechanisms underlying neurological disorders, including research on biomarkers, therapeutic targets, novel compounds and treatment strategies.Brain Mechanisms upholds the highest standards of scientific rigor and integrity. Our editorial board comprises distinguished researchers who bring diverse expertise and perspectives to ensure the quality and impact of the journal. We are committed to fostering scientific excellence, encouraging inter- and transdisciplinary collaboration, and driving the field of neuroscience forward.We invite researchers from all areas of neuroscience and related fields to submit their work to Brain Mechanisms. Together, we will explore the complexities of nervous systems and shape the future of neuroscience research, to the benefit of all life forms and beyond.

Clinical Neurophysiology

  • ISSN: 1388-2457
  • 5 Year impact factor: 3.9
  • Impact factor: 3.7
Official Organ of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Brazilian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Czech Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, and the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology.SCOPE OF THE JOURNAL: Clinical Neurophysiology is dedicated to publishing scholarly reports on the pathophysiology underlying diseases of the peripheral and central nervous system of humans. Reports on clinical trials that use neurophysiological measures as endpoints are encouraged, as are manuscripts on integrated neuroimaging of peripheral and central nervous function including, but not limited to, functional MRI, brain mapping, MEG, EEG, PET, ultrasound, and other neuroimaging modalities. Studies on normal human neurophysiology are welcome, if they are relevant to disease or clinical applications. Studies on animals and technical reports must have clear applicability to human disease. Case reports may be considered (exclusively as Letters-to-the-Editor), if implying substantial advancement of knowledge.Clinical Neurophysiology covers epilepsy, developmental clinical neurophysiology, psychophysiology and psychopathology, motor control and movement disorders, somatosensory disorders including pain, motor neuron diseases, neuromuscular diseases, neuropathies, sleep and disorders of consciousness, auditory and vestibular disorders, aging, Alzheimer's disease, other dementias, other psychiatric disorders, autonomic disorders, neural plasticity and recovery, intraoperative and ICU monitoring, and therapeutic clinical neurophysiology including non-invasive and invasive brain stimulation.All studies published in Clinical Neurophysiology must stand on their own and make a substantial contribution to the literature. The journal does not afford a high priority to 'pilot' or 'preliminary' studies or to negative studies that do not advance knowledge.Reports with a focus on education or clinical practice, case reports, methodological and technical reports and studies reporting normative data on healthy subjects are preferentially being considered in Clinical Neurophysiology Practice, a companion journal of Clinical Neurophysiology.AUDIENCE:Neurologists, Clinical Neurophysiologists, Neuroscientists, Neuroimagers, Psychiatrists, Neuropsychologists, NeurosurgeonsSee also the BRAND NEW Companion Journal Clinical Neurophysiology Practice

Clinical Neurophysiology Practice

  • ISSN: 2467-981X
  • 5 Year impact factor: 2.3
  • Impact factor: 2
Official Organ of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology. Clinical Neurophysiology Practice is a companion journal to Clinical NeurophysiologyClinical Neurophysiology Practice (CNP) is a new Open Access journal that focuses on clinical practice issues in clinical neurophysiology including relevant new research, case reports or clinical series, normal values and didactic reviews. It is an official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology and complements Clinical Neurophysiology which focuses on innovative research in the specialty. It has a role in supporting established clinical practice, and an educational role for trainees, technicians and practitioners.Types of manuscripts for consideration include: educational reviews and expert-consensus clinical practice guidelines, original research papers (including papers reporting normative data), extended case reports, systematic reviews, editorials, and Letters to the Editor.As a journal devoted to education and evidence-based clinical practice in the specialty, the priorities for Clinical Neurophysiology Practice differ from those of our companion IFCN journal Clinical Neurophysiology. Novelty is a critical issue for research-focused journals such as Clinical Neurophysiology, but is less important for Clinical Neurophysiology Practice. Quality papers may be rejected by research-focused journals because the studies do not report new advances in knowledge or are of low (research) impact, or because studies are deemed incremental, confirmatory, negative or outside journal priorities. However in clinical practice negative studies may be just as important as positive studies, and well-conceived papers reporting negative data or confirmatory results are welcome because clinical advances need confirmation before they are introduced into clinical care. Similarly, case reports can be particularly educational and are welcome. Case reports must have a neurophysiological focus and illustrate the diagnostic process, using figures that are of high quality. These reports are not specifically limited in length, the number of figures or the number of references.
