Journal Guide

Journal of Neurochemistry continues to be a leading source for research into all aspects of neuroscience, with a particular focus on molecular and cellular aspects of the nervous system, the pathogenesis of neurological disorders and the development of disease specific biomarkers. JNC is devoted to the prompt publication of original findings of the highest scientific priority and value.

Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders is an open access, peer-reviewed journal that integrates current, cutting-edge research across a number of disciplines, including neurobiology, genetics, cognitive neuroscience and psychology. The primary focus is on the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders including autism, Fragile X Syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, Turner Syndrome, 22q Deletion Syndrome, Prader-Willi Angelman Syndrome, Williams Syndrome, Lysosomal Storage Diseases, dyslexia, specific language impairment and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.

The Journal of Neuroendocrinology provides the principal international focus for the newest ideas in classical neuroendocrinology and its expanding interface with the regulation of behavioural, cognitive, developmental, degenerative and metabolic processes. Through the rapid publication of original manuscripts and provocative review articles, it provides essential reading for basic scientists and clinicians researching in this rapidly expanding field.

Under new editorship from 2008, Journal of Neurogenetics continues to publish papers involving the genetics of behavior, neural function or development, interpreted in the broadest sense. The Journal may be particularly appropriate for papers on behavioral, biochemical, or cellular aspects of neural function, plasticity, aging or disease. In addition to analyses in the traditional genetic-model organisms, C. elegans, Drosophila, mouse and the zebrafish, the Journal encourages submission of neurogenetic investigations performed in organisms not easily amenable to experimental genetics. Such investigations might, for instance, describe behavioral differences deriving from genetic variation within a species, or report human disease studies that provide exceptional insights into biological mechanisms. Manuscripts simply documenting the correlation of specific human SNPs with behavioral traits or neurological disorders are outside of the Journal's current Scope and will not be considered. In addition to Original Articles, the Journal will also publish Short Communications, and Hypotheses, as well as Invited Commentaries and Reviews. Meeting Reports or groups of Abstracts associated with Neurogeneticsconferences will also appear on a regular basis.In an attempt to energize the Journal, the new editorship:a) Has revised the presentation and has provided online access to the Journal; andb) Makes the following commitments to prospective authors: *To provide a fair and constructive peer review of manuscripts submitted.*To ensure that accepted manuscripts appear in electronic databases within six weeks of final acceptance.*To provide rapid editorial review of papers previously reviewed by other journals.*To allow authors maximal latitude in discussing the wide implications of their work and, when duly qualified, encourage discussions that question current models.*To improve representation of research from countries outside Europe and North America.

The Journal of Neuroimmune Pharmacology (JNIP) is the peer-reviewed journal of the Society on NeuroImmune Pharmacology. JNIP interfaces the disciplines of immunology, pharmacology and experimental neuroscience by acting as a platform for research discoveries into the pathogenesis and pharmacology of nervous system disorders affecting the immune system and vice versa. Original interdisciplinary scientific contributions, concise 'opinion,' and broad reviews are welcome. Research areas reporting in JNIP include receptor cell signaling, the pathobiology, cognitive neuroscience, psychopharmacology and immunity of drugs of abuse, neurodegenerative disorders, neurovirology, neuroimmunology, and neuropharmacology. Manuscripts must include original research linked to the immunology and pharmacology of human neurologic and neuropsychiatric disorders including substance abuse, depression, psychosis, Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease, Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Multiple Sclerosis, HIV-associated neurocognitive diso

The Journal of Neuroimmunology affords a forum for the publication of works applying immunologic methodology to the furtherance of the neurological sciences. Studies on all branches of the neurosciences, particularly fundamental and applied neurobiology, neurology, neuropathology, neurochemistry, neurovirology, neuroendocrinology, neuromuscular research, neuropharmacology and psychology, which involve either immunologic methodology (e.g. immunocytochemistry) or fundamental immunology (e.g. antibody and lymphocyte assays), are considered for publication.Works pertaining to multiple sclerosis, AIDS, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Guillain Barré Syndrome, myasthenia gravis, and brain tumors form a major focus. The scope of the Journal is broad, covering both research and clinical problems of neuroscientific interest.A major aim of the Journal is to encourage the development of immunologic approaches to analyse in further depth the interactions and specific properties of nervous tissue elements during development and disease.

Journal of Neuroinflammation is ready to receive manuscripts on all aspects of innate immunological responses of the central nervous system.

The Journal of Neurolinguistics is an international forum for the integration of the neurosciences and language sciences. JNL provides for rapid publication of novel, peer-reviewed research into the interaction between language, communication and brain processes. The focus is on rigorous studies of an empirical or theoretical nature and which make an original contribution to our knowledge about the involvement of the nervous system in communication and its breakdowns. Contributions from neurology, communication disorders, linguistics, neuropsychology and cognitive science in general are welcome. Published articles will typically address issues relating some aspect of language or speech function to its neurological substrates with clear theoretical import. Interdisciplinary work on any aspect of the biological foundations of language and its disorders resulting from brain damage is encouraged. Studies of normal subjects, with clear reference to brain functions, are appropriate. Group-studies on well defined samples and case studies with well documented lesion or nervous system dysfunction are acceptable. The journal is open to empirical reports and review articles. Special issues on aspects of the relation between language and the structure and function of the nervous system are also welcome.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy is the official peer-reviewed publication of the Section on Neurology of the American Physical Therapy Association. It contributes to the development of theory, evidence, and the effective use of physical therapy for individuals with neurologic conditions. It combines original research with integration and interpretation from diverse areas of study. Readers will find articles on examination, evaluation, prognosis, intervention, and outcomes that span the continuum from pathophysiology to ability.

The Journal of Neurological Surgery Part A: Central European Neurosurgery (JNLS A) is a major publication from the world's leading publisher in neurosurgery. JNLS A currently serves as the official organ of several national neurosurgery societies. The focus of JNLS A includes microsurgery as well as the latest minimally invasive techniques, such as stereotactic-guided surgery, endoscopy, and endovascular procedures. JNLS A covers purely neurosurgical topics.
