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.Neurosc... 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.Neurologi... diseases and disorders, such as Alzheimer’s disease, autism spectrum disorder, deafness, mood disorders, epilepsy, Huntington’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and stroke.Neuroinflamma... 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. Mendelian Randomization: While recognizing its value to the field, Neuroscience does not accept papers that use Mendelian Randomization as its only technique. Studies utilising this technique need to also incorporate a neuroscience-specifi... hypothesis, mechanistic investigation, experimental manipulation and / or substantive insights into neural function, structure, disease mechanisms, or behavior.- ISSN: 0306-4522
Biological Psychiatry
A journal of Psychiatric Neuroscience and TherapeuticsA Publication of the Society of Biological PsychiatryBiological Psychiatry, founded in 1969, is an official journal of the Society of Biological Psychiatry and the first in the Biological Psychiatry family of journals. Companion titles include Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging and Biological Psychiatry: Global Open Science. The Society's purpose is to promote excellence in scientific research and education in fields that investigate the nature, causes, mechanisms and treatments of disorders of thought, emotion, and behavior. In accord with this mission, this peer-reviewed, rapid-publication, international journal publishes novel results of original basic, translational, and clinical mechanistic research that advances our understanding of psychiatric disorders and their treatment. Reviews and commentaries that focus on topics of current research and interest are also encouraged.Biologica... Psychiatry is one of the most selective and highly cited journals in the field of psychiatric neuroscience. The 2024 Impact Factor score for Biological Psychiatry is 9.0. It is ranked 9th in Psychiatry titles and 17th in Neurosciences titles in the Journal Citation Reports published by Clarivate Analytics. By total citations, Biological Psychiatry is ranked 3rd in Psychiatry.

Brain Stimulation
Basic, Translational, and Clinical Research in NeuromodulationAbout Brain StimulationBrain Stimulation is the premier journal for publishing research in the field of neuromodulation. The journal includes: a) original articles; b) invited and original reviews or commentaries; and c) letters to the Editor. Special issues of the journal will be considered based on scientific merit.Brain Stimulation publishes original work across the entire field of brain stimulation, including noninvasive and invasive techniques and technologies that alter brain function using electrical, magnetic, radiowave, sound, light, focally targeted pharmacologic stimulation, or any other physical method to directly alter neural function. This includes investigations that study the effects of brain stimulation on basic processes, such as gene expression and other aspects of molecular biology, neurochemical regulation, functional brain activity, sensorimotor function, and cognitive and affective processes at the systems level. As an equal partner with this basic emphasis, the journal has strong representation of research on the therapeutic potential and adverse effects of the stimulation technologies. Research in therapeutics includes not only clinical trials, but also conceptual pieces, discussions of ethics as they pertain to this field, services research, and epidemiology.The journal also publishes the highest level of research on the biophysics and biopsychophysics of stimulation paradigms, as well as the use of these techniques as a probe to outline patterns of neural connectivity. The journal will consider any form of neuromodulation that impacts on brain processes. Spinal cord stimulation or peripheral nerve stimulation will be considered only if behavioral effects are mediated by a central brain mechanism. The journal scope does not include psychological manipulations, such as visual or auditory presentation, nor are routine pharmacology studies appropriate for this journal. Studies of imaging correlates of brain states that do not involve brain stimulation are also not within the purview of the journal.- ISSN: 1935-861X
