Aims and Scope

The Journal of Neuroscience and Neurological Disorders (JNND) aims to provide a premier platform for disseminating groundbreaking discoveries, clinical practices, and theoretical frameworks that contribute to the advancement of neuroscience and neurological sciences. Our scope covers fundamental research, translational medicine, and applied clinical studies that enhance understanding and treatment of the nervous system and its disorders.

Core Aims

  • Encourage rigorous scientific inquiry and evidence-based practices in neurology and neuroscience.
  • Bridge the gap between basic science, clinical application, and patient outcomes.
  • Foster interdisciplinary collaboration among neuroscientists, clinicians, engineers, and data scientists.
  • Advance global equity in neurological research by promoting contributions from diverse geographic and socioeconomic contexts.
  • Support transparency, reproducibility, and ethical standards in scientific publishing.

Scope of Research

JNND welcomes manuscripts across a wide range of categories, including original research, reviews, case studies, clinical trials, and methodological innovations.

Basic and Experimental Neuroscience

  • Cellular and molecular neuroscience
  • Synaptic transmission and neuroplasticity
  • Neurodevelopmental biology
  • Animal models of neurological disorders

Clinical Neurology

  • Stroke, epilepsy, and cerebrovascular diseases
  • Movement disorders including Parkinson’s and dystonia
  • Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Huntington’s
  • Multiple sclerosis and demyelinating conditions

Neuropsychiatry and Cognitive Neuroscience

  • Neurobiology of mental health disorders
  • Brain–behavior relationships
  • Learning, memory, and cognition

Global Relevance

JNND recognizes the global burden of neurological and psychiatric disorders. By publishing region-specific studies alongside global perspectives, the journal supports efforts to reduce disparities in diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes.

FAQs

Can I submit interdisciplinary research?

Yes. The journal actively encourages work at the intersection of neuroscience, data science, engineering, and clinical medicine.

Does the journal accept negative results?

Yes. Scientifically rigorous studies reporting negative or null results are essential for balanced knowledge dissemination.

What is excluded from the scope?

Submissions unrelated to neuroscience or neurology, anecdotal evidence lacking scientific merit, or content violating ethical standards will not be considered.
