Hormones and Behavior
Official Journal of the Society for Behavioral NeuroendocrinologyHormones and Behavior publishes original research articles, reviews, commentaries, perspectives and special issues concerning hormone-brain-behavi... relationships, broadly defined. The journal welcomes studies conducted on species ranging from invertebrates to mammals, including studies of humans. Also included is work addressing neuroendocrine-behav... relationships, neuroendocrine and endocrine mechanisms controlling the development or adult expression of behavior as well as studies of the environmental control and evolutionary significance of hormone-brain-behavi... relationships. Studies with an emphasis on molecular, neuroanatomical, or non-neural systems are also welcome when relevant to endocrine signaling and behavior.The journal's scope ranges from laboratory and field studies concerning neuroendocrine as well as endocrine mechanisms controlling the development or adult expression of behavior to studies concerning the environmental control and evolutionary significance of hormone-behavior relationships.- ISSN: 0018-506X
The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
General The Journal of Steroid Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is devoted to experimental and theoretical developments in areas related to steroids, sterols, hopanoids, vitamin D and lipids. JSBMB is interested in functional analyses of signal transduction pathways, impact on molecular phenotypes and clinical outcome, and metabolomics of these molecules. Our journal publishes a variety of contributions, including:Original research articlesGeneral and focused reviewsMini-reviews (addressing controversial or hot contemporary topics)Rapid communications (brief articles of particular interest and clear novelty).Selected cutting-edge topics are addressed in Special Issues managed by Guest Editors. Special Issues contain both commissioned reviews and original research papers to provide comprehensive coverage of specific topics. Regardless of the type of submission, all submissions undergo rigorous peer-review prior to publication.ScopeMan... related to unsolved issues in genetics, molecular biology, biochemistry, structural biology, steroid chemistry, cell biology, evolution, comparative endocrinology, molecular medicine, translational research and clinical medicine, and systems biology “omics” are encouraged.Specific aimsEnhancement of our understanding, and the development of approaches to study the interplay between the environment, genomes, metabolism and diseaseStudies on signal transduction pathways, functional annotation of genes and kinetics of metabolic pathwaysAnalyses of mechanisms underlying homeostasis in aging, health and diseaseEffects of ethnicity on signal transduction pathways and reference valuesStudies on steroids, molecular endocrinology and metabolism in transgender individualsInvestiga... on target and off-target effects for therapies or drugs (including doping and anabolic steroids)Provision of new analysis tools, synthesis and analysis methods, and reference dataCreation of enduring and validated resources for metabolomics and systems biology analysesExclusion criteria for manuscriptsWe do not accept data that have been as a whole, or in part, published elsewhere (does not apply to data that has been deposited in a data repository or documents that have been posted on a preprint server)We do not accept case descriptions or clinical descriptions of cohorts without analyses of mechanisms leading to changed phenotypesWe do not accept observations collected by experiments in a single cell line, single sample of organism, reagents or tools that are not validated (e.g. antibodies that are not characterized, origin and identity of cells that are not depicted, analytical methods not characterised for LOD, precision and accuracy)We do not accept data based on technical replicates rather than biological replicates, or the use of inappropriate statistical analysesWe do not accept GWAS without functional analyses explaining associations or at least a functional discussions on correlationsWe do not accept manuscripts prepared using generative AI.

Biological Psychology
Biological Psychology publishes original scientific papers on neural, endocrine, immune, and other physiological aspects of psychological states and processes. Such aspects include assessments by biochemistry, electrophysiology, and neuroimaging during psychological experiments as well as biologically induced changes in psychological function. Psychological investigations based on biological theories are also of interest. All aspects of psychological functioning, including psychopathology, are germane.The Journal is focused on work with human individuals, but may consider work with animals, if conceptually related to issues in human biological psychology. The Journal welcomes work that spans disciplines and methods and recruits an editorial team that is especially suited for handling such manuscripts. Empirical reports are the core of the Journal, but methodological and theoretical reports relevant to biological psychology are encouraged (see list of article types for more information). Finally, the Journal regularly publishes special issues on selected topics within its scope.- ISSN: 0301-0511
Neurotoxicology and Teratology
Affiliated with the The Developmental Neurotoxicology Society, formerly known as The Neurobehavioral Teratology Society.Neurotoxicol... and Teratology provides a forum for publishing new information regarding the effects of chemical and physical agents on the developing, adult, or aging nervous system. In this context, the fields of neurotoxicology and teratology include studies of agent-induced alterations of nervous system function, with a focus on behavioral outcomes and their underlying physiological, neurochemical, molecular, and immunological mechanisms. The Journal publishes original, peer-reviewed Research Reports of experimental, clinical, and epidemiological studies that address the neurotoxicity and/or functional teratology of pesticides, solvents, heavy metals, nanomaterials, organometals, industrial compounds, mixtures, drugs of abuse, pharmaceuticals, animal and plant toxins, atmospheric reaction products, and physical agents such as radiation and noise. These reports include traditional mammalian neurotoxicology experiments, human studies, studies using non-mammalian animal models, and mechanistic studies in vivo or in vitro. Special Issues, Reviews, Commentaries, and Symposium Papers provide timely updates on areas that have reached a critical point of synthesis, on aspects of a scientific field undergoing rapid change, or on areas that present special methodological or interpretive problems. Theoretical Articles address concepts and potential mechanisms underlying interactions of agents of interest with the nervous system. Short Communications concisely describe a new method, technique, apparatus, or experimental result.- ISSN: 0892-0362
Progress in Retinal and Eye Research

By invitation, leading experts write on basic and clinical aspects of the eye in a style appealing to molecular biologists, neuroscientists and physiologists, as well as to vision researchers and ophthalmologists.The journal covers all aspects of eye research, including topics pertaining to the retina and pigment epithelial layer, cornea, tears, lacrimal glands, aqueous humour, iris, ciliary body, trabeculum, lens, vitreous humour and diseases such as dry-eye, inflammation, keratoconus, corneal dystrophy, glaucoma and cataract.Any queries with proposals for Review Articles can be sent directly to Alan Stitt, Editor in Chief.- ISSN: 1350-9462
Neurobiology of Learning and Memory
Neurobiology of Learning and Memory publishes articles examining the neurobiological mechanisms underlying learning and memory at all levels of analysis ranging from molecular biology to synaptic and neural plasticity and behavior. We are especially interested in manuscripts that examine the neural circuits and molecular mechanisms underlying learning, memory and plasticity in both experimental animals and human subjects.Neurobiolog... of Learning and Memory includes major research and review papers as well as rapid communications reporting new results.In addition, the following categories are featured:Invited Short Reviews that succinctly survey appropriate areas of current research or theory Commentaries that serve as vehicles for brief presentations of new theories, hypotheses, points of view, or critiques of current researchNeurobiology of Learning and Memory supports the preregistration of research studies.Neurobiology of Learning and Memory accepts manuscripts that have been posted as preprints on BioRxiv.- ISSN: 1074-7427
