Molecular Neurobiology

Aims & Scope

Molecular Neurobiology is an exciting journal for neuroscientists needing to stay in close touch with progress at the forefront of molecular brain research today.

It is an especially important periodical for graduate students and "postdocs," specifically designed to synthesize and critically assess research trends for all neuroscientists hoping to stay active at the cutting edge of this dramatically developing area.

This journal has proven to be crucial in departmental libraries, serving as essential reading for every committed neuroscientist who is striving to keep abreast of all rapid developments in a forefront field.

Most recent significant advances in experimental and clinical neuroscience have been occurring at the molecular level.

Until now, there has been no journal devoted to looking closely at this fragmented literature in a critical, coherent fashion.

Each submission is thoroughly analyzed by scientists and clinicians internationally renowned for their special competence in the areas treated.
