《腦刺激》雜志旨在成為神經(jīng)調(diào)節(jié)領(lǐng)域原創(chuàng)研究的主要刊物。期刊包括:a)原創(chuàng)文章;b)短通信;c)邀請(qǐng)和原創(chuàng)評(píng)論;d)技術(shù)和方法視角(新設(shè)備的回顧、新方法的描述等);e)給編輯的信。該雜志的特刊將根據(jù)科學(xué)價(jià)值加以審議。腦刺激的范圍擴(kuò)展到整個(gè)腦刺激領(lǐng)域，包括非侵入性和侵入性技術(shù)，以及通過(guò)使用電、磁、無(wú)線(xiàn)電波或靶向藥物刺激改變腦功能的技術(shù)。這包括研究大腦刺激對(duì)基本過(guò)程的影響，如基因表達(dá)和分子生物學(xué)的其他方面，神經(jīng)化學(xué)調(diào)節(jié)，大腦功能活動(dòng)，感覺(jué)運(yùn)動(dòng)功能，以及系統(tǒng)層面的認(rèn)知和情感過(guò)程。該雜志尋求最高水平的研究生物物理學(xué)和生物神經(jīng)物理學(xué)的刺激范式，以及使用這些技術(shù)作為探針概述模式的神經(jīng)連接。作為這一基本重點(diǎn)的平等合作伙伴，該雜志將對(duì)刺激技術(shù)的治療潛力和副作用的研究具有很強(qiáng)的代表性。將研究納入治療學(xué)不僅代表臨床試驗(yàn)，而且還代表概念部分、涉及該領(lǐng)域的倫理討論、服務(wù)研究等。

Brain Stimulation aims to be the premier journal for publication of original research in the field of neuromodulation. The journal includes: a) Original articles; b) Short Communications; c) Invited and original reviews; d) Technology and methodological perspectives (reviews of new devices, description of new methods, etc.); and e) Letters to the Editor. Special issues of the journal will be considered based on scientific merit.The scope of Brain Stimulation extends across the entire field of brain stimulation, including noninvasive and invasive techniques and technologies that alter brain function through the use of electrical, magnetic, radiowave, or focally targeted pharmacologic stimulation. This includes investigations that study the effects of brain stimulation on basic processes, such as gene expression and other aspects of molecular biology, neurochemical regulation, functional brain activity, sensorimotor function, and cognitive and affective processes at the systems level.The journal seeks the highest level of research on the biophysics and biopsychophysics of stimulation paradigms as well as the use of these techniques as a probe to outline patterns of neural connectivity. As an equal partner with this basic emphasis, the journal will have strong representation of research on the therapeutic potential and adverse effects of the stimulation technologies. The inclusion of research in therapeutics will represent not only clinical trials, but also conceptual pieces, discussions of ethics as they pertain to this field, services research, etc.
