While original reports are preferred, mini-reviews and perspectives are invited by the editorial office.

In view of the interdisciplinary nature of the field, particular emphasis is placed on:
-
studies that advance the biological bases of normal and pathological behavior
-
the nature, etiology and pathophysiology of neuropsychiatric disorders
-
biologically relevant aspects of the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of these disorders
-
the basic mechanisms by which psychopharmacological agents exert their effect
