Brain Behavior and Evolution

期刊简介：'Brain, Behavior and Evolution' is a journal with a loyal following, high standards, and a unique profile as the main outlet for the continuing scientific discourse on nervous system evolution. The journal publishes comparative neurobiological studies that focus on nervous system structure, function, or development in vertebrates as well as invertebrates. Approaches range from the molecular over the anatomical and physiological to the behavioral. Despite this diversity, most papers published in 'Brain, Behavior and Evolution' include an evolutionary angle, at least in the discussion, and focus on neural mechanisms or phenomena. Some purely behavioral research may be within the journal’s scope, but the suitability of such manuscripts will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. The journal also publishes review articles that provide critical overviews of current topics in evolutionary neurobiology.

【译文】《大脑、行为与进化》是一本拥有忠实读者群、高标准且具有独特特色的期刊，它是关于神经系统进化持续科学讨论的主要平台。该期刊发表关于脊椎动物和无脊椎动物神经系统结构、功能或发展的比较神经生物学研究。研究方法从分子学、解剖学和生理学到行为学都有涉及。尽管存在这种多样性，但《大脑、行为与进化》发表的大部分论文至少在讨论中包含进化角度，并关注神经机制或现象。一些纯粹的行为学研究可能在该期刊的范围内，但此类手稿的适宜性将根据个案进行评估。该期刊还发表综述文章，提供关于进化神经生物学当前主题的批判性概述。
