Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the neural and behavioral mechanisms underlying complex behaviors in animal models, including social interaction, communication, and reproductive processes. Studies investigate the impact of genetic factors, hormonal changes, and interventions like exercise on these behaviors and associated cognitive and emotional states. The research often utilizes rodent models to explore molecular pathways and neurobiological underpinnings.
