Brain Stimulation

Brain Stimulation aims to be the premier journal for publication of original research in the field of neuromodulation. The journal includes: a) Original articles; b) Short Communications; c) Invited and original reviews; d) Technology and methodological perspectives (reviews of new devices, description of new methods, etc.); and e) Letters to the Editor. Special issues of the journal will be considered based on scientific merit.The scope of Brain Stimulation extends across the entire field of brain stimulation, including noninvasive and invasive techniques and technologies that alter brain function through the use of electrical, magnetic, radiowave, or focally targeted pharmacologic stimulation. This includes investigations that study the effects of brain stimulation on basic processes, such as gene expression and other aspects of molecular biology, neurochemical regulation, functional brain activity, sensorimotor function, and cognitive and affective processes at the systems level.The journal seeks the highest level of research on the biophysics and biopsychophysics of stimulation paradigms as well as the use of these techniques as a probe to outline patterns of neural connectivity. As an equal partner with this basic emphasis, the journal will have strong representation of research on the therapeutic potential and adverse effects of the stimulation technologies. The inclusion of research in therapeutics will represent not only clinical trials, but also conceptual pieces, discussions of ethics as they pertain to this field, services research, etc.

《脑刺激》杂志旨在成为神经调节领域原创研究的主要刊物。期刊包括:a)原创文章;b)短通信;c)邀请和原创评论;d)技术和方法视角(新设备的回顾、新方法的描述等);e)给编辑的信。该杂志的特刊将根据科学价值加以审议。脑刺激的范围扩展到整个脑刺激领域，包括非侵入性和侵入性技术，以及通过使用电、磁、无线电波或靶向药物刺激改变脑功能的技术。这包括研究大脑刺激对基本过程的影响，如基因表达和分子生物学的其他方面，神经化学调节，大脑功能活动，感觉运动功能，以及系统层面的认知和情感过程。该杂志寻求最高水平的研究生物物理学和生物神经物理学的刺激范式，以及使用这些技术作为探针概述模式的神经连接。作为这一基本重点的平等合作伙伴，该杂志将对刺激技术的治疗潜力和副作用的研究具有很强的代表性。将研究纳入治疗学不仅代表临床试验，而且还代表概念部分、涉及该领域的伦理讨论、服务研究等。
