中文簡介

《行為神經(jīng)科學前沿》是一本開放獲取的期刊，旨在發(fā)表對動物和人類行為的重大見解，以便更好地理解行為背后的神經(jīng)機制。我們的期刊歡迎關(guān)注行為和神經(jīng)生物學分析之間相互作用的各個層次的論文:從分子生物學和遺傳學，到形態(tài)學、生化、神經(jīng)化學、電生理學、神經(jīng)內(nèi)分泌、藥理學和神經(jīng)影像學研究，只要它們有助于解開行為的神經(jīng)生物學基礎。行為神經(jīng)科學前沿歡迎所有動物物種的工作，包括人類，并鼓勵結(jié)合動物和人類研究的綜合和翻譯方法。近年來，翻譯工作已被證明特別適合處理與精神病理學相關(guān)的主題和問題，杰出的例子表明，動物研究如何有助于確定人類行為偏差的關(guān)鍵遺傳機制，反之，人類的創(chuàng)新發(fā)現(xiàn)如何指導動物的基本工作。我們的最終目標是加快進展在這個研究領(lǐng)域的關(guān)鍵時刻,當我們面臨著多重挑戰(zhàn):需要集成的結(jié)果得到在不同級別的分析,不斷重新定義主題和方法關(guān)注和行為神經(jīng)科學領(lǐng)域的特點。提交原創(chuàng)性研究之外的手稿的作者應該在他們的求職信中強調(diào)他們在同一主題上的出版記錄是如何為他們在該領(lǐng)域的貢獻做好準備的。我們還要求研究主題的潛在組織者(信息請訪問www.frontiersin.org/about/RTGuidelines)向編輯部(neuroscience.researchtopics@frontiersin.org)提供他們的簡歷，并在提案中闡明他們的研究專長如何使他們有資格組織關(guān)于該特定主題的研究主題。

英文簡介

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience is an open-access journal that aims to publish major insights into animal and human behavior, in order to better understand the neural mechanisms underlying behavior. Our journal welcomes papers concerned with the interplay between behavior and neurobiological analysis at all levels: from molecular biology and genetics, to morphological, biochemical, neurochemical, electrophysiological, neuroendocrine, pharmacological, and neuroimaging studies, as long as they contribute to unravel the neurobiological basis of behavior. Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience welcomes work in all animal species, including humans, and integrative and translational approaches combining animal and human research are encouraged. In recent years, translational work has proved to be particularly suitable to address topics and questions related to psychopathology, with outstanding examples showing how animal studies can help identify key genetic mechanisms of behavioral deviation in humans and, conversely, how innovative findings in humans are directing essential work in animals. Our ultimate goal is to accelerate the progress in this research area at a critical time when we are facing multiple challenges: from the need to integrate findings obtained at different levels of analysis to the constant redefinition of topics and approaches that concern and characterize the field of Behavioral Neuroscience.Authors submitting manuscripts other than Original Research should highlight in their cover letter how their publication record on the same topic has prepared them for contributing to the field. We also request that prospective organizers of Research Topics (info at www.frontiersin.org/about/RTGuidelines) provide the Editorial Office (neuroscience.researchtopics@frontiersin.org) with their CV and clarify in the proposal how their research expertise qualifies them to organize a Research Topic on that particular subject.
