Learning & Memory

Journal Title：Learning & Memory

The neurobiology of learning and memory is entering a new interdisciplinary era. Advances in neuropsychology have identified regions of brain tissue that are critical for certain types of function. Electrophysiological techniques have revealed behavioral correlates of neuronal activity. Studies of synaptic plasticity suggest that some mechanisms of memory formation may resemble those of neural development. And molecular approaches have identified genes with patterns of expression that influence behavior. It is clear that future progress depends on interdisciplinary investigations. The current literature of learning and memory is large but fragmented. Until now, there has been no single journal devoted to this area of study and no dominant journal that demands attention by serious workers in the area, regardless of specialty. Learning & Memory provides a forum for these investigations in the form of research papers and review articles.

学习和记忆的神经生物学正在进入一个新的跨学科时代。神经心理学的进展已经确定了对某些功能至关重要的脑组织区域。电生理技术揭示了神经活动的行为相关性。突触可塑性的研究表明，记忆形成的某些机制可能类似于神经发育的机制。分子方法已经确定了影响行为的表达模式的基因。很明显，未来的进步取决于跨学科研究。目前关于学习和记忆的文献数量庞大，但支离破碎。到目前为止，还没有一本期刊专门研究这一研究领域，也没有一本主流期刊引起该领域严肃工作者的关注，无论专业如何。《学习与记忆》以研究论文和评论文章的形式为这些研究提供了一个论坛。

Learning & Memory创刊于1994年，由Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖医学 - 神经科学全领域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所属细分领域中专业影响力一般，过审相对较易，如果您文章质量佳，选择此期刊，发表机率较高。平均审稿速度 较慢,6-12周 ，影响因子指数1.8，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。
