《生理與行為》研究的是行為的因果生理機制及其受環境因素的調節。該雜志邀請行為和認知神經科學的廣泛領域的原始報告，其中生理和行為的互動是所有出版材料的先決條件。研究范圍包括行為神經內分泌學、心理神經免疫學、學習與記憶、攝食、味覺、社會行為、運動(與行為有關)、與精神病理學機制有關的研究，以及使用動物模型將研究結果轉化為人類的研究。純藥理學研究(使用天然化合物或合成化學物質)、關于超越生理適應提高人類性能的研究，或關于提高牲畜產量的研究都不在該雜志的重點。我們也歡迎當代評論和理論文章，編輯們也歡迎有興趣的作者提出這樣的建議。編輯們邀請感興趣的作者提出這樣的建議。還考慮出版專題問題和更全面的研究報告，但審查標準和程序相同。文章將以英文發表。

Physiology & Behavior is aimed at the causal physiological mechanisms of behavior and its modulation by environmental factors. The journal invites original reports in the broad area of behavioral and cognitive neuroscience, where the interaction of physiology and behavior is the prerequisite for all published material. The range of subjects includes behavioral neuroendocrinology, psychoneuroimmunology, learning and memory, ingestion,taste, social behavior, exercise (as it relates to behavior), studies related to the mechanisms of psychopathology and studies using animal models with the purpose of translating the findings to humans. Purely pharmacological studies (either using natural compounds or synthetic chemicals), studies on improving human performance beyond physiological adaptations, or studies on improving livestock production are not in the focus of the Journal.We also welcome contemporary reviews and theoretical articles, and the Editors invite such proposals from interested authors. Editors invite such proposals from interested authors.Thematic issues and more comprehensive studies are also considered for publication, subject to the same review standards and process. Articles will be published in English.
