The Journal of Neurobiology publishes original research articles on the nervous system. High-quality contributions in all areas of neurobiology are solicited but an emphasis on cellular genetic and molecular analyses of neurodevelopment and the ontogeny of behavior is part of the editorial policy. Papers that do not conform to the general criteria for publication in the Journal of Neurobiology will be returned immediately without detailed review to avoid unnecessary delay in submission elsewhere. This title will be continued as Developmental Neurobiology in 2007.
