Human Brain aims to advance the understanding of the human brain and neurological disorders, and to develop collaborative research platforms and databases related to the human brain.

This journal endorses peer-reviewed cutting-edge research on the entire genre of neurological science and clinical neurology, and prioritizes the publication of original data obtained from post-mortem brain samples, surgically resected brain samples, living subjects, or in vitro models, utilizing diverse research methodologies such as histology, neuropathology, biochemical chemistry, molecular biology, bioinformatics, brain imaging, etc. Clinical studies involving brain autopsy examination as the end measurement is much appreciated.

Article formats include original research, case reports, and systematic reviews. The journal also welcomes technological innovations, such as novel brain tissue processing methods for molecular localization, brain imaging analysis, and research in proteomics, genomics, and epigenomics.

With a core focus on human brain research, the journal's primary areas of interest include, but are not limited to:

l Investigation of the mechanisms governing human brain functions and activities, including brain development, aging and diseases;

l Investigation of the pathogenesis of neurological disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, traumatic brain injury, brain tumors, neuropsychiatric disorders, and other neurological conditions;

l Clinical research, including Guidelines and Consensus with the emphasis on improving clinical practice of neurological diseases;

l Identification of biomarkers for neurological disorders, aging, or development;

l Neuroimaging studies of the human brain in vivo and post-mortem;

l Studies on human brain structure and function, particularly where neuropathological examination serves as the definitive outcome measure;

l Standardized operating procedures and management guidelines for human brain tissue banks;

l Regional and international comparison study of human brain;

l Introductions to databases and platforms for human brain research;

l Cohort study on human brain functions and disorders;

l Innovative methodology and technology to study human brain.
