History

• The journal was launched in 1978 by Pergamon Press as Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, providing a dedicated review venue for the growing intersection of neuroscience and the behavioural sciences, and it became part of the Elsevier portfolio following the acquisition of Pergamon该刊于 1978 年由培格曼出版社（Pergamon Press）创刊，为神经科学与行为科学日益增长的交叉领域提供专门的综述平台，培格曼被收购后并入爱思唯尔期刊群。
• It has been published bimonthly throughout most of its history, with six issues per volume per year, and it is one of the leading review titles in behavioural neuroscience该刊历史上大部分时间以双月刊形式出版，每年一卷六期，是行为神经科学领域的主要综述期刊之一。
• The Journal Impact Factor moved from 8.989 in 2021 to 9.052 in 2022, then to 7.9 in 2024 and to 8.5 in 2025, maintaining first quartile standing in behavioral sciences and neurosciences throughout该刊影响因子由 2021 年的 8.989 升至 2022 年的 9.052，再降至 2024 年的 7.9 与 2025 年的 8.5，始终居行为科学类与神经科学类第一四分位。
• The journal has progressively expanded its coverage to address epigenetic programming, gut microbiome and behaviour, digital mental health and the translational neuroscience of psychiatric disorders, reflecting the evolution of the field该刊逐步扩展覆盖以纳入表观遗传编程、肠道菌群与行为、数字心理健康与精神障碍的转化神经科学，反映该领域的演进。
• The publisher carries the journal on ScienceDirect and the digital object identifier prefix of its articles is 10.1016, shared with other Elsevier journals出版方将该刊载于（ScienceDirect），其文章的数字对象唯一标识符前缀为（10.1016），与爱思唯尔其他期刊一致。

Editors

• The journal is led by an editor-in-chief supported by an editorial board whose members are drawn from neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, pharmacology and ethology departments across the world该刊由一位主编带领，配以由世界各地神经科学、心理学、精神病学、药理学与动物行为学院的学者组成的编委会。
• The editorial team includes associate editors responsible for subject areas such as behavioural neuroscience, psychopharmacology, cognitive and affective neuroscience, neuroendocrinology and developmental programming, reflecting the integrative scope of the journal编辑团队设有副编辑，分别负责行为神经科学、精神药理学、认知与情感神经科学、神经内分泌学与发育编程等方向，对应刊物的整合定位。
• Editorial handling follows the Elsevier editorial management system, with submissions assigned to handling editors based on subject expertise and competing interest declarations稿件处理依托爱思唯尔的编辑管理系统，依据学科专长与利益冲突声明分配责任编辑。
