BRAIN BEHAVIOR AND EVOLUTION

Brain, Behavior and Evolution is a journal with a loyal following, high standards, and a unique profile as the main outlet for the continuing scientific discourse on nervous system evolution. The journal publishes comparative neurobiological studies that focus on nervous system structure, function, or development in vertebrates as well as invertebrates. Approaches range from the molecular over the anatomical and physiological to the behavioral. Despite this diversity, most papers published in Brain, Behavior and Evolution include an evolutionary angle, at least in the discussion, and focus on neural mechanisms or phenomena. Some purely behavioral research may be within the journal’s scope, but the suitability of such manuscripts will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. The journal also publishes review articles that provide critical overviews of current topics in evolutionary neurobiology.

《大脑、行为与进化》是一本忠实的、高标准的、独特的期刊，是关于神经系统进化的科学论述的主要出口。该杂志发表了神经生物学的比较研究，主要关注脊椎动物和无脊椎动物的神经系统结构、功能或发育。方法的范围从分子的解剖学和生理学到行为。尽管存在这样的多样性，大多数发表在《大脑、行为与进化》上的论文都从进化的角度，至少在讨论中是这样，并且关注神经机制或现象。一些纯粹的行为研究可能在该杂志的范围内，但这些手稿的适用性将在个案的基础上进行评估。该杂志还发表评论文章，提供对进化神经生物学当前主题的批判性综述。
