Molecular Brain is an open access, peer-reviewed, online journal soon to be launched by BioMed Central.

Molecular Brain encompasses all aspects of studies on the nervous system at the molecular, cellular and systems level providing a forum for scientists to communicate their findings.

Molecular brain research is a rapidly expanding research field in which integrative approaches at the genetic, molecular, cellular and synaptic levels yield key information about the physiological and pathological brain. These studies involve the use of modern techniques such as approaches of molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, modern electrophysiology and neurobiology.

Molecular Brain operates a closed peer review process on all manuscripts approved via initial screening by the Editors-in-Chief. The Editors-in-Chief will make a decision on a manuscript based on a minimum of two reviews.

For more information on the journal scope please see our About page.

Molecular Brain is accepting submissions; please use the online submission system to submit your manuscript. For all enquiries about the journal, please contact: editorial@molecularbrain.com.

Molecular Brain is published by BioMed Central, an independent publishing house committed to ensuring peer-reviewed biomedical research is open access - immediately and permanently available online without charge or any other barriers to access.
