Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal focuses on the neurochemistry of neurological and psychiatric disorders, investigating molecular mechanisms, cellular processes, and potential therapeutic interventions. Research explores topics such as ferroptosis in Parkinson's disease, the role of the renin-angiotensin system in stroke, the impact of exercise and insulin on cerebral metabolism, and the neurobiological effects of deep brain stimulation. It also examines neurotransmitter systems like dopamine and serotonin, the influence of gut microbiota on brain function, and the involvement of specific proteins and signaling pathways in conditions including Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, and glioblastoma. The journal also covers the effects of viral infections on neuronal function and the role of aging and inflammation in brain health.
