Journal Title：Journal Of Comparative Neurology

Established in 1891, JCN is the oldest continually published basic neuroscience journal. Historically, as the name suggests, the journal focused on a comparison among species to uncover the intricacies of how the brain functions. In modern times, this research is called systems neuroscience where animal models are used to mimic core cognitive processes with the ultimate goal of understanding neural circuits and connections that give rise to behavioral patterns and different neural states.

Research published in JCN covers all species from invertebrates to humans, and the reports inform the readers about the function and organization of nervous systems in species with an emphasis on the way that species adaptations inform about the function or organization of the nervous systems, rather than on their evolution per se.

JCN publishes primary research articles and critical commentaries and review-type articles offering expert insight in to cutting edge research in the field of systems neuroscience; a complete list of contribution types is given in the Author Guidelines. For primary research contributions, only full-length investigative reports are desired; the journal does not accept short communications.

JCN 成立于 1891 年，是歷史最悠久的持續(xù)出版基礎(chǔ)神經(jīng)科學(xué)雜志。從歷史上看，正如其名稱所示，該雜志專注于物種之間的比較，以揭示大腦功能的復(fù)雜性。在現(xiàn)代，這種研究被稱為系統(tǒng)神經(jīng)科學(xué)，其中動(dòng)物模型用于模擬核心認(rèn)知過(guò)程，最終目標(biāo)是了解導(dǎo)致行為模式和不同神經(jīng)狀態(tài)的神經(jīng)回路和連接。

JCN 上發(fā)表的研究涵蓋了從無(wú)脊椎動(dòng)物到人類的所有物種，報(bào)告向讀者介紹了物種神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的功能和組織，重點(diǎn)是物種適應(yīng)性如何告知神經(jīng)系統(tǒng)的功能或組織，而不是它們的進(jìn)化本身。

JCN 發(fā)表主要研究文章、批判性評(píng)論和評(píng)論類文章，為系統(tǒng)神經(jīng)科學(xué)領(lǐng)域的前沿研究提供專家見(jiàn)解；作者指南中提供了完整的投稿類型列表。對(duì)于主要研究投稿，只需要完整的調(diào)查報(bào)告；該期刊不接受簡(jiǎn)短的通訊。

Journal Of Comparative Neurology創(chuàng)刊于1911年，由Wiley-Liss Inc.出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋醫(yī)學(xué) - 動(dòng)物學(xué)全領(lǐng)域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細(xì)分領(lǐng)域中專業(yè)影響力一般，過(guò)審相對(duì)較易，如果您文章質(zhì)量佳，選擇此期刊，發(fā)表機(jī)率較高。平均審稿速度 一般,3-6周 ，影響因子指數(shù)2.3，該期刊近期沒(méi)有被列入國(guó)際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
