The aim of the Journal of Behavioral and Brain Science is to publish original research articles and reviews in the general field of behavioural and brain function. Articles dealing with the neuroanatomical and neurochemical basis of behavior are especially welcomed. Multidisciplinary contributions from all fields of the neurosciences are encouraged so long as emphasis is placed in investigating the biological substrates of behavior and of mental processes underlying behavior.
