Neuroendocrinology

Neuroendocrinology is a monthly journal published in Basel by Karger, devoted to the interplay between the nervous system and the endocrine glands in health and disease.《神经内分泌学》是由 Karger 在巴塞尔出版的月刊，专注神经系统与内分泌腺在健康与疾病状态下的相互作用。

Founded in 1965, it publishes original research, expert reviews and thematic focus issues that run from molecular and cellular work to bedside practice.该刊创刊于 1965 年，发表原创研究，专家综述与专题专辑，内容从分子与细胞研究延伸到临床诊疗。

Its 2025 Journal Impact Factor is 2.4 and the five-year figure 3.1, which puts it in the third quartile of both endocrinology and neuroscience in the Journal Citation Reports.2025 年期刊影响因子为 2.4，五年影响因子为 3.1，在 Journal Citation Reports 的内分泌学与神经科学两个类目中都处于第三四分位。

Scope

• The aims statement describes a journal of original research that spans basic and clinical neuroendocrinology without separating the two.征稿说明把刊物定位为覆盖基础与临床神经内分泌学的原创研究阵地，两者不作分割。

• Its central subject is the bidirectional traffic between the nervous and the endocrine systems, examined in physiological and in pathological states alike.核心议题是神经系统与内分泌系统之间的双向传递，生理状态与病理状态都在考察之列。

• Peptide and steroid hormones receive the closest attention, starting with their part in reproduction.肽类激素与类固醇激素受到最多关注，首先涉及它们在生殖中的作用。

• Development and sex differences form a second strand, including the organisational effects of hormones on the developing brain.发育与性别差异构成第二条线索，包括激素对发育中脑组织的组织化效应。

• Degeneration and ageing appear in the same list, and the hypothalamic-pituitary axis in later life falls inside the remit.退行性变与衰老同样列入范围，老龄阶段的下丘脑-垂体轴也在其中。

• Energy balance and body weight regulation belong to the core business, a field reshaped by the discovery of leptin and ghrelin.能量平衡与体重调节属于核心议题，瘦素与胃饥饿素的发现重塑了这一领域。

• Stress responses are followed from the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis through to the behavioural consequences of prolonged stress.应激反应从下丘脑-垂体-肾上腺轴一直追到长期应激带来的行为后果。

• Inflammation supplies a further theme, reflecting the traffic between immune signalling and neuroendocrine centres.炎症提供了另一条主题，反映免疫信号与神经内分泌中枢之间的往来。

• Rhythms, from circadian timing to seasonal breeding, are treated as neuroendocrine problems in their own right.节律从昼夜定时到季节性繁殖，都按独立的神经内分泌问题处理。

• Cognition and behaviour enter through the hormonal modulation of learning, mood and social interaction.认知与行为通过激素对学习，情绪与社会交往的调节进入视野。

• Neuroendocrine tumours and inherited tumour syndromes give the clinical side an oncological anchor.神经内分泌肿瘤与遗传性肿瘤综合征为临床一侧提供了肿瘤学支点。

• Omics methods and imaging are explicitly welcomed where they address the molecular workings and the anatomy of neuroendocrine systems.组学方法与影像技术在阐明神经内分泌系统的分子机制与解剖结构时受到明确欢迎。

• The neuroanatomy, physiology and pharmacology of these systems remain standard fare, as they have been since the early volumes.这些系统的神经解剖，生理与药理自早期卷次起就是常规内容。

• Molecular and cellular work is routine, and the pharmacology of hormone analogues and receptor ligands sits in the same remit as anatomy.分子与细胞层面的研究属于常规，激素类似物与受体配体的药理与解剖学同属一个范围。

• Clinical papers deal with pituitary adenomas, hypothalamic disorders and the timing of puberty, all of them classical territory for the field.临床论文处理垂体腺瘤，下丘脑病变与青春期启动，这些都是该领域的经典题目。

• Review articles and special focus issues on topical questions complete the mix, beside reports of original laboratory and clinical work.综述与围绕热点问题的专题专辑补足版面，原创实验室研究与临床研究报告同在其中。

History

• Volume 1 appeared in 1965 under the Karger imprint in Basel, and the National Library of Medicine dates the title from that year.第 1 卷于 1965 年在巴塞尔的 Karger 出版，美国国立医学图书馆把创刊年记为这一年。

• The first volume arrived as neuroendocrinology was separating from classical endocrinology, after the concept of neurosecretion and the description of the hypothalamic-hypophysial portal vessels.首卷问世时，神经内分泌学正从经典内分泌学中分离出来，神经分泌概念与下丘脑-垂体门脉系统的描述已经确立。

• MEDLINE and PubMed take the journal from volume 3, number 3, dated 1968, and Index Medicus lists it as well.MEDLINE 与 PubMed 自 1968 年第 3 卷第 3 期起收录该刊，Index Medicus 也在收录之列。

• The title has never changed, so catalogues record no former name and the volume sequence runs unbroken from 1965.刊名从未更改，编目中没有旧名，卷号自 1965 年起连续不断。

• It remains a Karger house journal rather than the organ of a learned society, and no sponsoring body appears in its imprint.它始终是 Karger 的自办刊物，并非某个学会的机关刊，版权页上也没有挂靠机构。

• The hundredth volume came out in 2015, fifty years after the first, and the 113th in 2023.第 100 卷于 2015 年出版，距首卷正好五十年，第 113 卷出现在 2023 年。

• Twelve issues appear each year, the frequency the National Library of Medicine records for the title at present.该刊每年出版十二期，美国国立医学图书馆记录的现行刊期即为十二期。

• An electronic edition carries the eISSN 1423-0194 beside the print number 0028-3835, which has identified the journal from the start.电子版使用 eISSN 1423-0194，与自创刊起标识该刊的印本刊号 0028-3835 并行。

• Open access is optional: authors may take the gold route, and JCR counts 19.72 percent of recent papers as gold open access.开放获取为可选，作者可以走金色开放获取路径，JCR 统计近年论文中有 19.72% 采取这一方式。

• Supplements have appeared beside the regular sequence, as in 2020, when a supplementary issue was published with volume 110.增刊与正刊并行，2020 年就有一期增刊随第 110 卷发行。
