Scope

• Officially the journal is a peer-reviewed multidisciplinary title carrying original work from psychology, biology, neuroscience and medicine that contributes to an understanding of behavioral development.按照官方界定，这是一份同行评审的多学科刊物，刊发心理学，生物学，神经科学与医学领域中有助于理解行为发展的原创研究。
• Research may address any stage of the organism, from embryo and fetus through the neonate, the juvenile and the adult.研究对象可以是有机体的任一阶段，从胚胎与胎儿延伸到新生儿，幼年个体与成年个体。
• Work that relates behavioral development to anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, genetics or evolution falls within the remit even when its methods cross disciplinary lines.把行为发展与解剖，生理，生化，遗传或演化联系起来的研究都在征稿范围之内，即便其方法跨越学科边界。
• A broad phylogenetic perspective is written into the aims, with invertebrates, fish, birds, rodents, other nonhuman animals and humans all named as acceptable subjects.办刊宗旨明确写入广泛的系统发育视角，无脊椎动物，鱼类，鸟类，啮齿类，其他非人动物与人类都被列为合适对象。
• Laboratory and field work are treated alike, and experimental as well as descriptive designs can be published.实验室研究与野外观察同等对待，实验性设计与描述性设计都可以刊出。
• Review articles and theoretical papers are accepted when they make an important conceptual contribution, a wording that leaves plain summaries of a literature outside the rule.综述与理论论文只在做出重要概念贡献时被接受，这一措辞把单纯汇总文献的稿子留在门限之外。
• Letters to the Editor discuss matters of general interest or material already published, may correct errors, provide clarification or offer a different point of view, and their authors are told to consult the editors beforehand.致编辑的信讨论普遍关心的问题或已刊内容，可用于更正错误，提供说明或给出不同观点，作者动笔前被告知先与编辑部商量。
• Publication turns on soundness of experimental design, appropriate controls and procedures, and statistical analysis that highlights why the finding matters.录用与否取决于实验设计的可靠性，对照与程序的恰当性，以及能够凸显结果意义的统计分析。
• Rigor, reproducibility and transparency appear by name in the aims as qualities every submitted study is expected to show.严谨，可重复与透明被点名写进入旨，作为对每一项来稿的期待。
• Human work fills much of recent content, among it studies of prenatal maternal stress, the infant gut microbiome, resting-state brain connectivity and maternal depression.人类研究占据近期刊物的许多篇幅，包括产前母亲应激，婴儿肠道菌群，静息态脑功能连接与母亲抑郁等方面的工作。
• Animal protocols keep a strong place, from surrogate rearing of infant rhesus macaques to maternal separation designs and hypothalamic responses in rodents.动物研究保持重要位置，从幼年恒河猴的替代物抚育到母婴分离方案与啮齿类的下丘脑反应都有涉及。
• Endocrine and genetic threads recur, covering gonadal hormones and social reward, variation in the oxytocin receptor gene, and paternal testosterone during demanding caregiving.内分泌与遗传线索反复出现，涉及性腺激素与社会奖赏，催产素受体基因的变异，以及父亲在高要求照料中的睾酮水平。
• Sleep and sensory development form another cluster, with infant sleep and the mastery of locomotion, sleep disruption in the neonatal intensive care unit, and screen-time neuroimaging in children all present.睡眠与感觉发展构成另一组主题，婴儿睡眠与运动技能的获得，新生儿重症监护病房的睡眠干扰，儿童屏幕时间的神经影像都在其中。
• Stress physiology binds much of the archive together, since hair cortisol assays, epigenetic programming of stress-response systems and inflammatory pathways in pregnancy share the same issues.应激生理把过刊的多数研究串在一起，头发皮质醇测定，应激反应系统的表观遗传编程与孕期炎症通路常出现在同一期。
• Social and emotional development is examined across species, from mother-infant physiological coregulation to face-to-face interaction in macaques and human dyads.社会与情绪发展在多个物种中被检验，从母婴生理协同调节到恒河猴与人类配对的面对面互动。
