Physiology & Behavior is aimed at the causal physiological mechanisms of behavior and its modulation by environmental factors. The journal invites original reports in the broad area of behavioral and cognitive neuroscience, where the interaction of physiology and behavior is the prerequisite for all published material. The range of subjects includes behavioral neuroendocrinology, psychoneuroimmunology, learning and memory, ingestion,taste, social behavior, exercise (as it relates to behavior), studies related to the mechanisms of psychopathology and studies using animal models with the purpose of translating the findings to humans. Purely pharmacological studies (either using natural compounds or synthetic chemicals), studies on improving human performance beyond physiological adaptations, or studies on improving livestock production are not in the focus of the Journal.We also welcome contemporary reviews and theoretical articles, and the Editors invite such proposals from interested authors. Editors invite such proposals from interested authors.Thematic issues and more comprehensive studies are also considered for publication, subject to the same review standards and process. Articles will be published in English.

《生理與行為》研究的是行為的因果生理機(jī)制及其受環(huán)境因素的調(diào)節(jié)。該雜志邀請行為和認(rèn)知神經(jīng)科學(xué)的廣泛領(lǐng)域的原始報(bào)告，其中生理和行為的互動(dòng)是所有出版材料的先決條件。研究范圍包括行為神經(jīng)內(nèi)分泌學(xué)、心理神經(jīng)免疫學(xué)、學(xué)習(xí)與記憶、攝食、味覺、社會(huì)行為、運(yùn)動(dòng)(與行為有關(guān))、與精神病理學(xué)機(jī)制有關(guān)的研究，以及使用動(dòng)物模型將研究結(jié)果轉(zhuǎn)化為人類的研究。純藥理學(xué)研究(使用天然化合物或合成化學(xué)物質(zhì))、關(guān)于超越生理適應(yīng)提高人類性能的研究，或關(guān)于提高牲畜產(chǎn)量的研究都不在該雜志的重點(diǎn)。我們也歡迎當(dāng)代評論和理論文章，編輯們也歡迎有興趣的作者提出這樣的建議。編輯們邀請感興趣的作者提出這樣的建議。還考慮出版專題問題和更全面的研究報(bào)告，但審查標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和程序相同。文章將以英文發(fā)表。
