JOURNAL OF NEURAL TRANSMISSION

The investigation of basic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of neurological and psychiatric disorders has undoubtedly deepened our knowledge of these types of disorders. The impact of basic neurosciences on the understanding of the pathophysiology of the brain will further increase due to important developments such as the emergence of more specific psychoactive compounds and new technologies. The Journal of Neural Transmission aims to establish an interface between basic sciences and clinical neurology and psychiatry. The journal is published monthly in five sections: Basic Neurosciences and Genetics This section will accept manuscripts dealing with pharmacological molecular pharmacological neurochemical as well as molecular biological and molecular genetical studies related to the nervous system. In particular this section will publish work from the basic neurosciences i.e. experimental work animal studies including behavioral short and long term evaluations. Parkinson's Disease and Allied Conditions Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Neuroscientific studies both basic and clinical in nature related to movement disorders such as parkinsonism dystonia chorea myoclonus etc. will be considered for publication in this section.
