细胞和分子神经生物学发表关于细胞和亚细胞水平的神经元和大脑功能分析的原始研究。这本优秀的双月刊提供了及时的同行评议文章，描述解剖遗传生理学、药理学和生物化学方法的神经功能的研究和基本机制的分析。对分离的哺乳动物组织和完整的动物进行研究，旨在研究单个细胞水平上的分子机制或神经元反应。该杂志还研究了神经元对其他器官系统的影响，如分析平滑肌或腺体细胞对神经递质或神经激素的电或生化反应。所有文章均由至少两名评审人员严格评审。
Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology publishes original research concerned with the analysis of neuronal and brain function at the cellular and subcellular levels. This superb bimonthly offers timely peer-reviewed articles that describe anatomic genetic physiologic pharmacologic and biochemical approaches to the study of neuronal function and the analysis of elementary mechanisms. Studies are presented on isolated mammalian tissues and intact animals with investigations aimed at the molecular mechanisms or neuronal responses at the level of single cells. The journal also presents studies of the effects of neurons on other organ systems such as analysis of the electrical or biochemical response to neurotransmitters or neurohormones on smooth muscle or gland cells. All articles are rigorously appraised by at least two referees.
