對神經和精神疾病發病機制的基本機制的研究無疑加深了我們對這類疾病的認識。由于更具體的精神活性化合物和新技術的出現等重要發展，基礎神經科學對理解大腦病理生理學的影響將進一步增加?！渡窠泜鬟f雜志》旨在建立基礎科學與臨床神經病學和精神病學之間的接口。該雜志每月分五個部分出版:基礎神經科學和遺傳學。本部分將接受涉及藥理分子藥理神經化學以及與神經系統相關的分子生物學和分子遺傳學研究的手稿。特別是本部分將發表基礎神經科學的工作，即包括行為短期和長期評估的動物實驗研究。帕金森病及相關疾病阿爾茨海默病及相關疾病神經科學研究，包括與運動障礙相關的基礎和臨床研究，如帕金森癥、肌陣攣性肌張力障礙等，將在本節中發表。

The investigation of basic mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of neurological and psychiatric disorders has undoubtedly deepened our knowledge of these types of disorders. The impact of basic neurosciences on the understanding of the pathophysiology of the brain will further increase due to important developments such as the emergence of more specific psychoactive compounds and new technologies. The Journal of Neural Transmission aims to establish an interface between basic sciences and clinical neurology and psychiatry. The journal is published monthly in five sections: Basic Neurosciences and Genetics This section will accept manuscripts dealing with pharmacological molecular pharmacological neurochemical as well as molecular biological and molecular genetical studies related to the nervous system. In particular this section will publish work from the basic neurosciences i.e. experimental work animal studies including behavioral short and long term evaluations. Parkinson's Disease and Allied Conditions Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disorders Neuroscientific studies both basic and clinical in nature related to movement disorders such as parkinsonism dystonia chorea myoclonus etc. will be considered for publication in this section.
