發育神經生物學發表關于神經系統發育和衰老各個方面的原創研究文章和批判性評論論文，包括可塑性和行為個體發生、再生和修復以及疾病帶來的變化。該雜志的總體目標是成為廣泛介紹和討論神經系統結構和功能特性動態本質的機制的論壇。該期刊歡迎機械的研究報告,使用的遺傳、表觀遺傳、分子、細胞、生理、解剖或行為的工具來研究神經干細胞的分化和成熟或主細胞,在體外和體內,不同壽命的無脊椎動物,脊椎動物和人類,在正常發育和衰老,疾病。除神經發育和神經進化的基本分子和細胞機制外，當前特別感興趣的主題包括神經炎癥和神經免疫反應、神經發育障礙、神經系統疾病的比較研究以及神經系統修復中干細胞的使用等。該雜志還出版了一些當前有重大意義的專題，包括那些專門研究特定脊椎動物或無脊椎動物的專題，這些專題有利于研究神經動力學。即將出版的和過去的特刊的完整列表可以在期刊主頁的一個專門部分找到。編輯歡迎對今后特刊可能的選題提出建議，有興趣的讀者可向編輯部提出建議，供編輯考慮。編輯們還歡迎在投稿前詢問該期刊是否有興趣發表任何原創研究報告，以及就相關的活躍研究領域發表評論文章。有興趣的讀者應與編輯部聯系，提供文章大綱或摘要草稿，供編輯部考慮。有興趣提交給發育神經生物學的作者應該參考該雜志的作者指南，它提供了關于手稿準備和更多有用的建議。所有關于發育神經生物學的投稿都應通過該期刊的在線系統:criptcentral.com/neuro-wiley提交。

Developmental Neurobiology publishes original research articles and critical review papers on all aspects of nervous system development and aging, including plasticity and the ontogeny of behavior, and regeneration and repair as well as changes brought about by disease. The general aim of the journal is to be the forum of choice for the broad presentation and discussion of the mechanisms underlying the dynamic nature of the structural and functional properties of the nervous system.The journal welcomes reports of mechanistic studies that use the whole range of genetic, epigenetic, molecular, cellular, physiological, anatomical or behavioral tools to examine the differentiation and maturation of neural stem or primary cells, in vitro and in vivo, across the varied lifespans of invertebrates, vertebrates and humans, both in normal development and aging, and in disease. Topics of particular current interest, beside basic molecular and cellular mechanisms of neural development and neuroevolution, include neuroinflammation and neuroimmune responses, neurodevelopmental disorders, comparative studies of diseases of the nervous system, and the use of stem cells in nervous system repair, among others.The journal also publishes Special Issues on topics of significant current interest, including those devoted to specific vertebrate or invertebrate groups that are advantageous for addressing neural dynamics. A complete list of forthcoming and past Special Issues can be found on a dedicated section of the journal homepage. The Editors welcome suggestions of possible topics for future Special Issues, and interested readers should contact the Editorial Office with their proposal for the Editors’ consideration.The Editors also welcome pre-submission inquiries of the journal’s interest in publishing any original research reports, as well as Review articles covering relevant active research areas. Interested readers should contact the Editorial Office with an article outline or draft abstract for the Editors’ consideration.Authors interested in submitting to Developmental Neurobiology should consult the journal’s Author Guidelines, which provides useful advice on manuscript preparation and more. All submissions to Developmental Neurobiology should be submitted via the journal’s online system: manuscriptcentral.com/neuro-wiley.
