《行為大腦研究》是一本國際性、跨學科的期刊，專門發(fā)表廣義上的行為神經科學領域的文章。只要目標是描述行為背后的神經機制，來自包括神經科學、行為科學或認知科學在內的整個學科領域的貢獻都是合適的。因此，研究范圍可能從神經生理學、神經解剖學、神經化學或神經藥理學分析腦行為關系，包括使用分子遺傳學或行為遺傳學方法，到涉及使用腦成像技術的研究，到神經行為學研究。報告的原始研究，主要方法的進步，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.
