Aims

OBM Neurobiology (ISSN 2573-4407) is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal published quarterly online by LIDSEN Publishing Inc. By design, the scope of OBM Neurobiology is broad, so as to reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the field of Neurobiology that interfaces biology with the fundamental and clinical neurosciences. As such, OBM Neurobiology embraces rigorous multidisciplinary investigations into the form and function of neurons and glia that make up the nervous system, either individually or in ensemble, in health or disease. OBM Neurobiology welcomes original contributions that employ a combination of molecular, cellular, systems and behavioral approaches to report novel neuroanatomical, neuropharmacological, neurophysiological and neurobehavioral findings related to the following aspects of the nervous system: Signal Transduction and Neurotransmission; Neural Circuits and Systems Neurobiology; Nervous System Development and Aging; Neurobiology of Nervous System Diseases (e.g., Developmental Brain Disorders; Neurodegenerative Disorders).

OBM Neurobiology publishes a variety of article types (Original Research, Review, Communication, Opinion, Comment, Conference Report, Technical Note, Book Review, etc.). Although the OBM Neurobiology Editorial Board encourages authors to be succinct, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. Authors should present their results in as much detail as possible, as reviewers are encouraged to emphasize scientific rigor and reproducibility.

LIDSEN Publication Ethics Statement

OBM Neurobiology is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). We strictly adhere to the code of publication ethics set forth by COPE and deal with suspected ethical issues in accordance with its Core Practices.

Submitted articles are required to comply with Editorial Process and Quality Control, Research and Publication Ethics Guidelines, and Instructions for Authors, and rigorous and thorough peer review processes will be conducted to enforce high-quality articles. To verify the originality of content submitted to the journal, we run an assay using iThenticate to check the similarity of submissions against previously published works. We are committed to ensuring that any potential ethical issues realized or pointed out, regardless of whether the manuscript is in the peer-review stage, has been accepted, or has been published, will be investigated and managed following a standard process.
