Brain Research Bulletin

Journal Title：Brain Research Bulletin

The Brain Research Bulletin (BRB) aims to publish novel work that advances our knowledge of molecular and cellular mechanisms that underlie neural network properties associated with behavior, cognition and other brain functions during neurodevelopment and in the adult. Although clinical research is out of the Journal's scope, the BRB also aims to publish translation research that provides insight into biological mechanisms and processes associated with neurodegeneration mechanisms, neurological diseases and neuropsychiatric disorders. The Journal is especially interested in research using novel methodologies, such as optogenetics, multielectrode array recordings and life imaging in wild-type and genetically-modified animal models, with the goal to advance our understanding of how neurons, glia and networks function in vivo.

《脑研究通讯》（BRB）旨在发表新颖的​​研究成果，以增进我们对分子和细胞机制的了解，这些机制是神经发育和成人期间与行为、认知和其他大脑功能相关的神经网络特性的基础。尽管临床研究不在本期刊的范围内，但 BRB 还旨在发表转化研究，以深入了解与神经退化机制、神经系统疾病和神经精神疾病相关的生物机制和过程。该期刊特别关注使用新方法的研究，例如光遗传学、多电极阵列记录和野生型和转基因动物模型中的生命成像，目的是增进我们对神经元、神经胶质细胞和网络在体内如何运作的理解。

Brain Research Bulletin创刊于1976年，由Elsevier Inc.出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖医学 - 神经科学全领域，此刊是中等级别的SCI期刊，所以过审相对来讲不是特别难，但是该刊专业认可度不错，仍然是一本值得选择的SCI期刊 。平均审稿速度 约1.5月 ，影响因子指数3.5，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
