Brain Connectivity
Brain Connectivity is your gateway to neural network research and neuroplasticity. As an internationally renowned peer-reviewed journal, we explore the intricate relationships between brain function and structure in health and disease through human and non-human fundamental and clinical research, as well as computational modeling. Our mission is to publish pioneering research that illuminates the complexities of brain connectivity and its implications for behavior, cognition, and clinical practice.
At Brain Connectivity, we offer a diverse range of content, including Original Research, Special Issues, Data, Methods, Toolbox, Technical Reports, Case Studies, Reviews, and Perspective articles. Our scope encompasses brain function and mapping across scales, from (sub)cellular to neurobiological circuit and system levels. We welcome contributions utilizing all imaging or electrophysiological methodologies, as well as those exploring multimodal interactions including genes, biomolecules, and simulation data.
We aim to foster communication and promote new scientific methods, data, models, and research insights that advance our understanding of brain connectivity and dynamics. The journal promotes an interdisciplinary approach spanning basic and cognitive neuroscience, neuromodulation, neurobiology, neuroanatomy, neuroinformatics, biophysics, theoretical, and computational biology. Our focus is on translating brain connectivity findings to cognition, learning, emotion, and sensorimotor function to improve clinical care in neurology, neurorehabilitation, neurosurgery, psychiatry, and neuropsychology.
The journal publishes 12 double issues online and in print annually. The journal is green open access compliant and supports various options for authors to publish their work under a CC BY Open Access license.
Brain Connectivity coverage includes:
Advances in neuroimaging using PET and MRI in Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases
Clinical translation of novel PET and MRI biomarkers in neurodegenerative diseases and Stroke
How different pathological substrates influence structural and functional connectivity in brain disorders
Multimodal imaging in brain disorders in both human and animal models
Experimental techniques combining magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (connectivity), electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), positron emission tomography (PET), single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), and other new and evolving methods
Under the editorial leadership of Editor-in-Chief Steven Laureys, MD, PhD, FEAN and other leading investigators, the journal will report original investigations in the areas of neuroscience, neurology, physics, biophysics, computer science, neuroinformatics, developmental biology, genetics, molecular biology, psychiatry, pharmacology, anesthesiology, cell biology, and brain anatomy relevant to the field of brain connectivity.
Audience: Neuroscientists, biophysicists, medical physicists, neuroanatomists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, psychiatrists, psychologists, cognitive neuroscientists, mathematicians, statisticians, regenerative medicine researchers, developmental biologists, behavioural scientists, imaging scientists and computational biologists.
Submit Your Research
Since Brain Connectivity is an investigational journal, we strongly recommend that research reports contain experimental data. The articles will primarily be published in the form of original research articles, communications, and reviews with sub-categories including reports of original experimental data, methodological studies, novel data analysis schemes, theoretical data modelling, and descriptions of changes in brain connectivity in health and disease.
Articles describing the underlying mechanisms and structure behind brain connections will be given priority. Emphasis will be placed on the following experimental techniques:
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Positron emission tomography (PET)
Magnetoencephalography (MEG)
Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)
Electroencephalogram (EEG) along with other imaging modalities
Microscopy
Other new and evolving methods as applied to brain connectivity analysis
Submission of multimodal examinations and integrations is encouraged
