  • Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews

    • ISSN: 0149-7634
    Neuroscience and BioBehavioral Reviews is a peer-reviewed journal publishing reviews that integrate brain function and behavior across a range of areas including physiology, psychology, health and disease across the entire lifecourse of model organisms, and humans. The journal publishes review articles, mini-reviews, opinion pieces, and society consensus statements, which are novel and of exceptional significance.Submiss... to the journal are actively encouraged which deal with topics not only in the more traditional areas of behavioral neuroscience, and psychology, but also in the following areas, whenever the reviews bring new insights into brain-behavior relations or biobehavioral health: Aging biology and geroscience, Biological psychiatry, Cognitive neuroscience, Computational modelling and AI, Developmental biology, Endocrinology, Evolutionary Biology, Genetics, Immunology, Metabolic regulation and nutrition, Neuroeconomics, Neuropsychology, Physiology, Pharmacology, and other related disciplines. We do not publish empirical papers, and no unpublished data should be included in the manuscripts. New analyses and modelling of previously published and publicly available dataset are allowed as long as their inclusion is essential to support the narrative of the Review. Simple data re-analyses (including meta-analyses) without a new conceptual or theoretical framework will not be considered. We welcome review articles from clinical researchers whose submission exceeds the high-quality threshold for the journal and significantly advances our understanding of a field.We require a statement disclosing any use of AI tools to assist in writing the acknowledgements section. If none, simply state “No AI tool was used to generate any part of the paper”. Any non-disclosed use of AI may result in editorial withdrawal.
  • Neuroscience

    • ISSN: 0306-4522
    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.

  • Psychoneuroendocrinology

    • ISSN: 0306-4530
    The Official Journal of the International Society of Psycho­neuro­endocri... publishes papers dealing with the interrelated disciplines of psychology, neurobiology, endocrinology, immunology, neurology, and psychiatry, with an emphasis on multidisciplinary studies aiming at integrating these disciplines in terms of either basic research or clinical implications. One of the main goals is to understand how a variety of psychobiological factors interact in the expression of the stress response as it relates to the development and/or maintenance of neuropsychiatric illnesses. The journal is international and comprises original research papers, reviews of an area of the literature, or at an appropriate stage in the development of the author's own work, commentaries in areas of current interest, short communications and book reviews. Although reviews, editorials and commentaries are usually by invitation, interested authors can contact the Editor-in-Chief to discuss the suitability of topics for either category of manuscripts.Authors are also welcome to submit their manuscripts to the journal's open access companion title, Comprehensive Psychoneuroendocrino... .
