About

Journal of Neurochemistry (JNC)

The Journal of Neurochemistry (JNC) is the official journal of the International Society for Neurochemistry. It publishes high-quality research and reviews covering all areas of neurochemistry, including the molecular, cellular, and biochemical processes of the nervous system.

The journal focuses on studies that improve our understanding of brain function and disease, especially neurological and psychiatric disorders. With a strong emphasis on clear, reliable science, JNC provides a global platform for researchers to share important discoveries and advances in the field.

Gene Regulation & Genomics - Research on the control of gene expression, including the role of coding and non-coding RNA in regulating transcript levels and function.

Brain Development & Cell Differentiation - Studies on the molecular mechanisms driving nervous system development, regeneration, and the influence of genetic and environmental factors.

Synaptic Plasticity - Research on the structural and functional changes at synapses, including mechanisms of synapse formation, transmission, and adaptation in health and disease.

Bioenergetics & Metabolism - Studies exploring how energy is produced, transformed, and used in the nervous system, and how metabolism supports neural function and signaling.

Neuroinflammation & Neuroimmunology - Research on interactions between the nervous and immune systems across health, disease, aging, and injury.

Neuronal Plasticity and Behaviour - Studies on how molecular and cellular processes influence neural circuits, shaping learning, memory, and behaviour.

Molecular Basis of Disease - Research into the molecular mechanisms underlying neurological and psychiatric disorders, including identification of potential therapeutic targets.

Clinical Studies, Biomarkers & Imaging - Research focused on clinical applications, including biomarkers, imaging, and approaches to diagnosis, monitoring, and precision medicine.

Neurotools, Methods & Neurochemistry Resources - Development of new tools, methods, and technologies that advance neurochemistry research.
