Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the structure and function of the brain, including white matter tracts, neural networks, and specific brain regions. Studies investigate visual processing, language, emotion perception, olfaction, motor control, and sensory systems. The journal also covers neuroplasticity, the effects of diet on brain structure, and the neuroanatomical basis of disorders like depression and impulsivity. Research methodologies include diffusion imaging, tractography, meta-analyses, electrophysiology, and animal models.
