Journal of Neuroscience Research

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Neuroscience Research (JNR) publishes novel research results that will advance our understanding of the development, function and pathophysiology of the nervous system, using molecular, cellular, systems, and translational approaches.

JNR covers both basic research and clinical aspects of neurology, neuropathology, psychiatry or psychology.

The journal focuses on uncovering the intricacies of brain structure and function.

Research published in JNR covers all species from invertebrates to humans, and the reports inform the readers about the function and organization of the nervous system, with emphasis on how disease modifies the function and organization.
