Aims and Scope
This international rapid-publication journal, sponsored by the Society of Biological Psychiatry, covers
the whole range of psychiatric neuroscience. Both basic and clinical contributions are encouraged
from all disciplines and research areas relevant to the pathophysiology and treatment of major
neuropsychiatric disorders. Full-length and Brief Reports of novel results, Case Reports and
Correspondence of unusual significance, judged to be of high impact to the field are published,
particularly those addressing genetic and environmental risk factors, neural circuitry, and neurochem-
istry, and important new therapeutic approaches. Concise Reviews, Neuroscience Perspectives,
Editorials and Commentary, generally invited by the Editors, which focus on topics of current research
and interest, are also rapidly published.
*Act in a personal capacity and do not necessarily reflect the view of the Federal Government, the
