Neurogenetics (journal)
Neurogenetics is a peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to the publication of research concerning the genetic basis of neurological and psychiatric disorders. It aims to bridge the gap between molecular genetics and clinical neuroscience, providing a platform for the dissemination of cutting-edge findings in the field.
The journal covers a broad range of topics, including:
- Gene identification and characterization: Studies that identify and characterize genes associated with neurological and psychiatric diseases.
- Molecular mechanisms: Research investigating the molecular mechanisms by which genetic variants contribute to disease pathogenesis.
- Genetic epidemiology: Epidemiological studies exploring the prevalence and distribution of genetic factors in neurological and psychiatric disorders.
- Animal models: Studies utilizing animal models to investigate the genetic and biological underpinnings of neurological and psychiatric diseases.
- Gene therapy and other therapeutic approaches: Research exploring gene therapy and other therapeutic interventions targeting the genetic causes of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
- Pharmacogenomics: Studies examining the influence of genetic variation on drug response in the treatment of neurological and psychiatric diseases.
The target audience for Neurogenetics includes researchers, clinicians, and other professionals working in the fields of genetics, neuroscience, neurology, psychiatry, and related disciplines. The journal publishes original research articles, reviews, and short communications. It emphasizes rigorous methodology, clear presentation of results, and insightful discussion of the implications of the findings. Neurogenetics is typically indexed in major databases such as PubMed/MEDLINE and Web of Science.
