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 live 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. Manuscripts should use a combination of experimental approaches to address at least two of the general areas aforementioned; research that is exclusively descriptive in nature will not be considered for publication. For example, manuscripts describing changes in RNA or protein expression patterns alone are not appropriate for publication but can be considered if they include experiments that investigate the function of those proteins or how changes in their expression levels may be related to behavior, plasticity or neurotransmission. In addition, studies that exclusive report on the association of genetic polymorphism with disease, but fail to include additional experiments demonstrating alterations in the gene's expression or to address potential biological mechanisms relevant to the disease, will not be viewed favorably by the Journal.

Your Paper Your Way We now differentiate between the requirements for new and revised submissions. You may choose to submit your manuscript as a single Word or PDF file to be used in the refereeing process. Only when your paper is at the revision stage, will you be requested to put your paper in to a 'correct format' for acceptance and provide the items required for the publication of your article. To find out more, please visit the Preparation section below. Types of paper Brain Research Bulletin is dedicated to the rapid publication of significant research articles and reviews in all areas of the neurosciences. In addition to reports of original research, the journal also publishes short actualized reviews on emerging areas of neuroscience, methodological developments, and occasional Special Issues organized by Guest Editors. Published manuscripts should inform about mechanisms and processes of nervous system organization and function. Only in exceptional circumstances does the journal publish reports entirely related to human or animal performance or behavior. The editors are committed to maintaining a high quality of all published reports and to a rapid and fair review process. Accelerated publication is the goal for all manuscripts. All articles will be published in English. Contact details for submission Once you are ready to submit, go to https://www.editorialmanager.com/brb/default.aspx • Select the "Submit paper" option. • Follow prompts online. Please note that at each stage of the submission process it is possible to go back a step, save the submission to continue later, or remove/change any information already entered. • The submission system will generate a PDF file to be used for the reviewing process. oYou will receive confirmation of your submission, and further progress of your paper at every stage of its review period thereafter, via email. To facilitate efficient and effective peer review
