 An international multidisciplinary journal devoted to fundamental research in the brain sciences.
Now incorporating Cognitive
Brain Research, Developmental Brain Research, Molecular Brain Research and Brain Research Protocols
Editor-in-Chief:
F.E. Bloom
See editorial board for all editors information
As of 2006, Cognitive Brain Research, Developmental Brain Research, Molecular Brain Research and Brain Research Protocols are merged into Brain Research. The scope of Brain Research (publishing articles describing primary research) as well as Brain Research Reviews (publishing review articles) is now expanded to encompass all aspects of modern neuroscience research.
The content of the journal, and the peer review of submissions, is now structured according to 9 main sections (see under Description below), each of which has its own team of Editors expert in the research areas described. Upon submission of their manuscripts, authors are required to select the most appropriate section to which the paper should be allocated. If accepted, the article will be featured under this subject heading in the relevant issue's Table of Contents
See Letter to Authors
The journal's Web submission site has been changed to reflect the new organization.
As of July 1st, the journal no longer processess Short Communication submittals. All research articles should be formatted as Research Reports.

Description
Brain Research publishes papers reporting interdisciplinary investigations of nervous system structure, function and chemistry
at all levels of resolution, from molecular to behavioral and social that are of general interest to the broad community of neuroscientists.
Clinical investigations, Protocols (i.e. methods papers) and Minireviews will also be considered for publication if they provide significant
insight into the structure or function of the nervous system, the pathophysiology of a disease, or its treatment. Computational and theoretical
papers will also be considered.
The table of contents for these journals is now available pre–publication, via e–mail,
as part of the free ContentsDirect service from Elsevier. Please send an e–mail message tocdhelp@elsevier.co.uk
for further information about this service.
1. Cellular and Molecular Biology of Nervous Systems
All studies investigating
the cellular, molecular and genetic bases of structure and function in nervous systems. Included are: molecular dissection of intracellular
and extracellular signal transduction pathways, regulation and analysis of gene expression, use of viral vectors as well as genetically
modified and model organisms, gene linkage studies, dynamic imaging of intracellular structures and molecules incluing protein trafficking,
studies of cell morphogenesis, adhesion, migration and death, proteomics, and structural biology.
2. Nervous System Development,
Regeneration and Aging
All studies concerning the formation of the nervous system from a broad range of disciplines including
neurogenetics, neurogenesis, gliagenesis, neural stem cells, neural induction and patterning, neuronal migration, cell death, differentiation,
development of the blood-brain barrier, axon guidence, synaptogenesis, myelination, cell interactions in the developing nervous system,
and imaging studies in human as well as animal model systems, involving both vertebrate species, and in vitro preparations.
3. Neurophysiology, Neuropharmacology and other forms of Intercellular Communication
Senior Editor: Floyd E. Bloom (La
Jolla, CA, USA)
Associate Editors:Gary Aston-Jones (Charleston, Sc, USA), Rita J. Valentino (Philadelphia, PA, USA)
All studies whose primary focus is on pre- and post-synaptic structure and function at the cellular and circuit level and their dissection
by pharmacological means. This includes models of synaptic plasticity such as LTP and LTD as well as studies of ion channels and neurotransmitter
receptors.
4. Structural Organization of the Brain
All studies whose primary focus is on the structural organization
of the healthy nervous systems including estimates of regional and subregional volumes by any method (from microscopy to non-invasive
functional imaging), as well as comparative neuroanatomic studies.
5. Sensory and Motor Systems
All studies whose
primary focus is on chemical senses, vision, auditory and vestibular sensation, somatic sensation (including pain), sensorimotor integration,
oculomotor control, motor systems regulating locomotion, central pattern generators, and specific components of motor systems from spinal
cord, cerebellum, thalamus to motor and pre-motor cortex.
6. Regulatory Systems
All studies dealing with internal
regulatory systems of the central and peripheral nervous systems, including: central modulatory, neuroendocrine and automatic (cardiovascular,
respiratory, thermo-, gastrointestinal, urogenital) regulation; stress and the brain; regulation of food intake and the body weight;
biological rhythms and sleep; brain bloodflow, metabolism and homeostasis.
7. Cognitive and Behavioral Neuroscience
All studies of the neural mechanisms of cognition and behavior in humans and animals including basic behaviors such as feeding, mating,
reproduction, and aggression, and higher mental functions such as attention, learning and memory, language, judgment, reasoning, decision-making,
emotion, and higher-order perceptual and motor processes.
8. Disease-Related Neuroscience
All studies whose primary
focus is on the structural organization of nervous systems of experimental perturbed, or clinically diseased nervous systems including
estimates of regional and subregional volumes by any method (from microscopy to non-invasive functional imaging), circuitry and synaptic
details (by light and electron microscopy).
9. Computational and Theoretical Neuroscience
All studies dealing with
the realistic simulations, analysis and predictions of the structure and functions of nervous systems and neuronal elements within a
nervous system, and the development and application of databases of neuronal attributes across experimental preparations in order to
compare quantitatively their differences in structure, function and responses to experimental perturbations.
TYPES OF PAPERS
1. Research Reports reporting results of original fundamental research in any branch in the brain sciences. Papers describing
new methods or significant developments of recognised methods which provide significant insight into the structure or function of the
nervous system, the pathophysiology of a disease, or its treatment. Articles should be written in sufficient detail to allow others to
verify the above methods. (Style should be the same as Research Reports.)
2. Minireviews: short reviews on a topical
subject providing significant insight into the structure or function of the nervous system, the pathophysiology of a disease, or its
treatment. Minireviews will generally be by invitation, but suggestions are welcomed.
3. Reviews: Unless invited for inclusion
in a thematic special issue of Brain Research, all review articles submitted to the journal will be published in Brain Research
Reviews.
Brain Research will also regularly publish thematic special issues highlighting important new developments
in neuroscience research.
