History

• NeuroImage was founded by Academic Press in 1992 and its first volume appeared in August 1992.本刊由（Academic Press）于 1992 年创办，第 1 卷于 1992 年 8 月出版。
• It was founded under editors John Mazziotta and Arthur Toga of the University of California, Los Angeles, and grew around brain mapping research.创始主编为（University of California Los Angeles）的（John Mazziotta）与（Arthur Toga），刊物围绕脑图谱研究成长。
• The online-only companion NeuroImage: Clinical was launched in 2012, followed by NeuroImage: Reports in 2021.纯在线姊妹刊（NeuroImage: Clinical）于 2012 年创办，（NeuroImage: Reports）于 2021 年跟进。
• The journal became fully gold open access in January 2020, with an article processing charge later set at 3540 US dollars.本刊自 2020 年 1 月转为完全金色开放获取，文章处理费其后定为 3540 美元。
• On 17 April 2023 more than 40 editors resigned over that charge and launched Imaging Neuroscience with MIT Press, after which Elsevier rebuilt the board through an interim team.2023 年 4 月 17 日，四十余位编辑因该费用集体辞职，并与（MIT Press）另办（Imaging Neuroscience），（Elsevier）随后以临时团队过渡并重组编委会。
• Its Journal Impact Factor fell from 7.4 in 2022 to 4.5 in 2024 before recovering to 5.3 in 2025, when it ranked second among 18 neuroimaging journals.影响因子由 2022 年的 7.4 降至 2024 年的 4.5，2025 年回升至 5.3，在 18 种神经影像学期刊中排名第二。

Editors

• Senior editors include Sonja Kotz of Maastricht University, Cindy Lustig of the University of Michigan, Bruce Pike of the University of Calgary, Aina Puce of Indiana University and Stephen Smith of the University of Oxford.资深编辑包括（Maastricht University）的（Sonja Kotz）、（University of Michigan）的（Cindy Lustig）、（University of Calgary）的（Bruce Pike）、（Indiana University）的（Aina Puce）与（University of Oxford）的（Stephen Smith）。
• Editors come from 17 countries, with the largest groups in the United States, Britain, Canada, China and Switzerland.编辑来自 17 个国家，其中美国、英国、加拿大、中国与瑞士人数最多。
• Manuscripts are screened by the editors and then sent for anonymous peer review before a decision is taken.稿件先由编辑初筛，再送匿名同行评审，之后作出决定。
• Article types include original research, reviews, methods and models or resources papers, and contributions on emerging or controversial issues.文章类型包括原创研究、综述、方法与模型或资源类论文，以及讨论新兴或有争议问题的稿件。
• The two companion titles, NeuroImage: Clinical and NeuroImage: Reports, are edited separately and cover pathology as well as null results and registered reports.两本姊妹刊（NeuroImage: Clinical）与（NeuroImage: Reports）独立编辑，分别侧重病理机制以及零结果与注册报告。
