JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE NEUROLOGY

JCN成立于1891年，是最古老的连续出版的基础神经科学杂志。从历史上看，正如它的名字所暗示的那样，该杂志关注的是物种之间的比较，以揭示大脑功能的复杂性。在现代，这项研究被称为系统神经科学，动物模型被用来模拟核心的认知过程，最终目的是理解导致行为模式和不同神经状态的神经回路和连接。研究发表在JCN涵盖所有物种从无脊椎动物到人类,和报告告知读者在物种的神经系统的功能和组织强调物种适应性的方式通知的功能或神经系统的组织,而不是在他们的进化本身。JCN发表主要的研究论文、评论和评论类文章，为系统神经科学领域的前沿研究提供专家见解;在作者指南中给出了一个完整的贡献类型列表。对于主要的研究贡献，只需要完整的调查报告;期刊不接受短讯。

Established in 1891, JCN is the oldest continually published basic neuroscience journal. Historically, as the name suggests, the journal focused on a comparison among species to uncover the intricacies of how the brain functions. In modern times, this research is called systems neuroscience where animal models are used to mimic core cognitive processes with the ultimate goal of understanding neural circuits and connections that give rise to behavioral patterns and different neural states.Research published in JCN covers all species from invertebrates to humans, and the reports inform the readers about the function and organization of nervous systems in species with an emphasis on the way that species adaptations inform about the function or organization of the nervous systems, rather than on their evolution per se.JCN publishes primary research articles and critical commentaries and review-type articles offering expert insight in to cutting edge research in the field of systems neuroscience; a complete list of contribution types is given in the Author Guidelines. For primary research contributions, only full-length investigative reports are desired; the journal does not accept short communications.
