 A section of Brain Research devoted to the publication of review articles
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.
1. Cellular and Molecular Biology of Nervous Systems
Senior Editor: James I.
Morgan (Memphis, TN, USA)
Associate Editors: : Michael A. Dyer (Memphis, TN, USA), (one other still to be appointed)
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
Senior Editor: Richard J. Smeyne (Memphis, TN, USA)
Associate
Editors: Brian M. Davis (Pittsburgh, PA, USA), (one other still to be appointed)
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
Senior Editor:
Patrick R. Hof (New York, NY, USA)
Associate Editors: Javier de Felipe (Madrid, Spain), Teresa A. Milner (New York, NY,
USA)
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
Senior Editor: James F. Baker (Chicago, IL, USA)
Associate Editors: Joan
S. Baizer (Buffalo, NY, USA), Michael S. Gold (Baltimore, MD, USA)
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
Senior Editor: Alan F, Sved (Pittsburgh, PA, USA)
Associate Editors:
Timothy H. Moran (Baltimore, MD, USA), (one other still to be appointed)
All studies dealing with internal regulatory systems
of the central and peripheral nervous systems, including: central modulatory, neuroendocrine and automatic (cardiovascular, respiritory,
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
Senior Editor
G. Ronald Mangun(Davis, CA, USA)
Associate Editors: Thomas F. Munte (Magdeburg, Germany), Christina L. Williams (Durham,
NC, USA)
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
Senior
Editor: Frank R. Sharp (Sacramento, CA, USA)
Associate Editors: George F. Koob (La Jolla, CA, USA), Herbert Y. Meltzer
(Nashville, TN, USA)
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
Senior Editor: Jonathan D. Cohen (Princeton, NJ, USA)
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.
