Cognitive Brain Research

Aims & Scope

Incorporated into Brain Research.

Brain Research is dedicated to publishing the highest quality and greatest impact articles within the ever-evolving field of Neuroscience.

We recognize how technology has changed the way scientific breakthroughs are communicated and Brain Research is committed to serving as a dynamic journal meeting the needs of the neuroscience research community.

We now offer multiple formats for scientists to share their work with the community.

These include Short Reports, Technology Developments, and Commentaries, in addition to standard research articles and reviews that the journal has published in its storied 50-year history.

Brain Research is a broad-format journal accepting manuscripts from across the international neuroscience community that range in scope from issues in fundamental neurobiology to translational and clinical neuroscience, there are contemporary themes within neuroscience that our Editorial Board has identified that are of particular innovation and interest because of their innovation and importance, highlighted below.

The journal is further committed to studies that investigate sex-differences as a powerful cross-cutting variable within these high-interest areas.

Consistent with our mission, however, Brain Research remains enthusiastic to publish any neuroscience-oriented work that advances the field in a meaningful way.
