Neuropharmacology

Neuropharmacology publishes original research in neuroscience focused on the actions of exogenous and endogenous chemical agents on neurobiological processes in the mammalian nervous system. The journal may consider non-mammalian and invertebrate studies in exceptional circumstances, generally does not accept clinical research except when human neuropharmacological studies provide novel mechanistic insight, and also publishes special issues and topical narrative reviews.
