投稿须知/期刊简介:

The Journal of Comparative Neurology appears weekly and publishes papers on the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system. Its field is broadly defined but does not include clinical neurology neuropathology psychiatry and introspective psychology excepting insofar as these bear on the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system. Preference is given to papers which deal descriptively or experimentally with the nervous system its structure growth and function. Preliminary notices are not desired nor will material previously or simultaneously published elsewhere be accepted. Generally papers that will occupy not more than 18 to 26 printed pages are preferred but in special cases longer articles will be accepted.

期刊描述简介:

Established in 1891, JCN is the oldest continually published basic neuroscience journal. Historically, as the name suggests, the journal focused on a comparison among species to uncover the intricacies of how the brain functions. In modern times, this research is called systems neuroscience where animal models are used to mimic core cognitive processes with the ultimate goal of understanding neural circuits and connections that give rise to behavioral patterns and different neural states. Research published in JCN covers all species from invertebrates to humans, and the reports inform the readers about the function and organization of nervous systems in species with an emphasis on the way that species adaptations inform about the function or organization of the nervous systems, rather than on their evolution per se. JCN publishes primary research articles and critical commentaries and review-type articles offering expert insight in to cutting edge research in the field of systems neuroscience; a complete list of contribution types is given in the Author Guidelines. For primary research contributions, only full-length investigative reports are desired; the journal does not accept short communications.
