Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience

《行为神经科学前沿》是一本开放获取的期刊，旨在发表对动物和人类行为的重大见解，以便更好地理解行为背后的神经机制。我们的期刊欢迎关注行为和神经生物学分析之间相互作用的各个层次的论文:从分子生物学和遗传学，到形态学、生化、神经化学、电生理学、神经内分泌、药理学和神经影像学研究，只要它们有助于解开行为的神经生物学基础。行为神经科学前沿欢迎所有动物物种的工作，包括人类，并鼓励结合动物和人类研究的综合和翻译方法。近年来，翻译工作已被证明特别适合处理与精神病理学相关的主题和问题，杰出的例子表明，动物研究如何有助于确定人类行为偏差的关键遗传机制，反之，人类的创新发现如何指导动物的基本工作。我们的最终目标是加快进展在这个研究领域的关键时刻,当我们面临着多重挑战:需要集成的结果得到在不同级别的分析,不断重新定义主题和方法关注和行为神经科学领域的特点。提交原创性研究之外的手稿的作者应该在他们的求职信中强调他们在同一主题上的出版记录是如何为他们在该领域的贡献做好准备的。我们还要求研究主题的潜在组织者(信息请访问www.frontiersin.org/about/RTGuidelines)向编辑部(neuroscience.researchtopics@frontiersin.org)提供他们的简历，并在提案中阐明他们的研究专长如何使他们有资格组织关于该特定主题的研究主题。

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.
