Aims & Scope
Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience is a high-impact open-access journal that publishes rigorous and insightful research on the neural and molecular mechanisms underlying behavior. We aim to provide a platform for the dissemination of novel findings that advance our understanding of the brain and its role in shaping behavior across species and throughout the lifespan. The journal covers a broad range of topics, including but not limited to: neurobiology of learning and memory, addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, social behavior, motor control, sensory processing, and neurodevelopmental disorders. We welcome original research articles, reviews, mini-reviews, and perspective pieces that offer novel insights and stimulate discussion within the field.
