《行為大腦研究》是一本國際性、跨學(xué)科的期刊，專門發(fā)表廣義上的行為神經(jīng)科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的文章。只要目標(biāo)是描述行為背后的神經(jīng)機(jī)制，來自包括神經(jīng)科學(xué)、行為科學(xué)或認(rèn)知科學(xué)在內(nèi)的整個學(xué)科領(lǐng)域的貢獻(xiàn)都是合適的。因此，研究范圍可能從神經(jīng)生理學(xué)、神經(jīng)解剖學(xué)、神經(jīng)化學(xué)或神經(jīng)藥理學(xué)分析腦行為關(guān)系，包括使用分子遺傳學(xué)或行為遺傳學(xué)方法，到涉及使用腦成像技術(shù)的研究，到神經(jīng)行為學(xué)研究。報告的原始研究，主要方法的進(jìn)步，或新的概念方法都是鼓勵。該雜志還將考慮對選定主題的評論。

Behavioural Brain Research is an international, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the publication of articles in the field of behavioural neuroscience, broadly defined. Contributions from the entire range of disciplines that comprise the neurosciences, behavioural sciences or cognitive sciences are appropriate, as long as the goal is to delineate the neural mechanisms underlying behaviour. Thus, studies may range from neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, neurochemical or neuropharmacological analysis of brain-behaviour relations, including the use of molecular genetic or behavioural genetic approaches, to studies that involve the use of brain imaging techniques, to neuroethological studies. Reports of original research, of major methodological advances, or of novel conceptual approaches are all encouraged. The journal will also consider critical reviews on selected topics.
