Neurobiology Of Disease

Neurobiology of Disease is a major international open access journal at the interface between basic and clinical neuroscience. It publishes research and review papers on molecular and cellular disease mechanisms, neural systems and behavioral disorders, genetics of inherited neurological and psychiatric diseases, nervous system aging, and findings relevant to the development of new therapies. The journal also welcomes negative results when authors provide strong justification for the importance of the observations.
