目前的報告期刊是由于認識到專家們越來越難以跟上其領域內不斷擴大的信息量。目前的神經科學和神經科學報告提供了一個系統的方式:1.以清晰易讀的形式，就神經學和神經科學的最新進展發表專家意見;2.精選最重要的論文，從豐富的原始出版物，由專家注釋。

The Current Reports journals were developed out of the recognition that specialists have increasing difficulty keeping up to date with the expanding volume of information published in their fields. Current Neurology and Neuroscience Reports provides in a systematic manner: 1. the views of experts on current advances in neurology and neuroscience in a clear and readable form; 2. selections of the most important papers from the great wealth of original publications, annotated by experts.
