Publish Breakthroughs in Nervous System Science
The Journal of Nervous System and Physiological Phenomena welcomes original research, clinical studies, and translational insights that advance understanding of neural circuits, brain function, and physiological mechanisms. Submit your work to reach a global audience of neuroscientists and clinicians. We prioritize clarity, reproducibility, and clinical or mechanistic significance.
Current Priority Topics and Research Themes
We are actively seeking high impact submissions across basic, clinical, and computational neuroscience. Manuscripts with clear methodological rigor and translational relevance receive priority consideration. Studies that include robust datasets, validated instruments, and strong statistical design are especially encouraged.
Neural Circuit Function and Plasticity
We welcome studies on synaptic transmission, connectivity mapping, learning mechanisms, memory systems, neurodevelopmental pathways, and adaptive plasticity across the lifespan. Multimodal approaches that integrate imaging, electrophysiology, and computational modeling are encouraged.
Clinical Neurology and Translational Research
Submit clinical trials, cohort studies, and translational investigations focused on neurological disorders, neurodegeneration, stroke, epilepsy, pain systems, and neuroimmune interactions. Clear clinical relevance and robust statistical design are essential.
Physiological Phenomena and Systems Neuroscience
We invite research on autonomic regulation, sensory processing, motor control, sleep and circadian systems, neuroendocrine integration, and brain body communication. Studies that connect neural mechanisms to physiological outcomes are highly valued.
Computational, Imaging, and Data Intensive Neuroscience
We encourage submissions that apply machine learning, network science, or advanced neuroimaging to reveal new insights into structure and function. Clear model validation, explainability, and reproducible code workflows strengthen review outcomes and accelerate uptake by the community.
Submission Pathway for Rapid Review
Our editorial process is optimized for clarity and speed while maintaining strict quality standards in neuroscience publishing.
Prepare a Complete Manuscript
Include structured abstracts, clear methodology, and data availability statements. Use recognized reporting guidelines and provide ethics approval details where applicable.
Submit via One of Two Methods
Upload files through Manuscript Zone for full tracking or use the Simple Manuscript Submission form for a streamlined upload. Both routes reach the same editorial team and review system.
Editorial Screening and Peer Review
We complete initial checks quickly, assign expert reviewers, and provide clear decisions with actionable revision guidance. High quality studies receive accelerated consideration.
Post Acceptance Publication
After acceptance, your article moves to production for copyediting, typesetting, and metadata preparation. Published papers are immediately available to readers worldwide and indexed for search visibility.
What Makes a Strong JNPP Submission
Manuscripts that align with the journal mission and provide transparent evidence move efficiently through review and gain stronger visibility after publication.
Clear Research Question and Impact Statement
Begin with a precise research question and explain how the findings advance understanding of neural mechanisms or physiological regulation. A concise impact statement helps editors assess relevance and prioritizes work with strong clinical or mechanistic value.
Transparent Methods and Reproducible Data
Provide detailed protocols, validated metrics, and statistical justification. Include data and code availability statements when possible. This transparency improves reviewer confidence and supports long term reuse by the neuroscience community.
Balanced Interpretation and Responsible Claims
Link conclusions directly to results and avoid overstatement. Discuss limitations and alternative explanations. Balanced interpretation strengthens credibility and improves the chances of a smooth review and revision cycle.
