Neuropsychiatric Research is a leading international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the understanding of the complex interplay between brain function and behaviour in psychiatric and neurological disorders. Our mission is to provide a premier forum for disseminating high-quality, innovative research that bridges the gap between basic neuroscience and clinical practice. The journal welcomes original research, reviews that elucidate the neurobiological substrates—from molecular and cellular mechanisms to systems-level circuits—underlying cognitive, emotional, and behavioural dysfunction.
