《神經化學雜志》是目前世界范圍內關于神經系統分子化學和細胞生物學研究的主要資料來源。每一期都包含數十篇由世界領先的醫學和研究機構的研究人員撰寫的重要原始發現的完整報告。《神經化學雜志》致力于在神經系統分子化學和細胞生物學方面迅速發表高質量的原創研究成果。通常不考慮完全是藥物組織化學或免疫學和方法的論文，或克隆不提高神經化學知識的驗證序列的論文。該雜志特別鼓勵在分子和細胞生物學領域提交論文。每一期的一個亮點是《華爾街日報》廣受好評的“快速溝通”欄目，該欄目展示了具有特別重要性和時效性的新觀點和數據。《華爾街日報》的小型評論簡明扼要地總結了當前在特別重要領域的研究成果。

The Journal of Neurochemistry is the leading source for current research worldwide on the molecular chemical and cellular biology of the nervous system. Each issue contains dozens of full-length presentations of significant original findings written by investigators at leading medical and research institutions around the world. The Journal of Neurochemistry is devoted to the prompt publication of high-quality original findings in areas relevant to molecular chemical and cell biological aspects of the nervous system. Papers that are wholly pharmalogical histochemical or immunological and methods papers or the cloning of confirmatory sequences that do not advance knowledge in neurochemistry are not normally considered. The Journal particularly encourages submissions in the areas of molecular and cellular biology. A highlight of each issue is the Journal's critically acclaimed Rapid Communications section presenting new ideas and data of particular importance and timeliness. The Journal's Mini-Reviews present concise self-contained summaries of current research in particularly important areas.
