American Journal of Medical Genetics, Part B: Neuropsychiatric Genetics

Aims & Scope

Neuropsychiatric Genetics, Part B of the American Journal of Medical Genetics (AJMG) , provides a forum for experimental and clinical investigations of the genetic, epigenetic, and protein signaling mechanisms underlying neurologic and psychiatric disorders.

It is a resource for novel genetics studies of the heritable nature of psychiatric and other nervous system disorders, characterized at the molecular, cellular, or behavioral levels.

Neuropsychiatric Genetics publishes eight times per year.
