Neurobiology of Pain is an international journal for the publication of basic and translational research on the mechanisms of acute and chronic pain. It focuses on experimental studies of pain mechanisms at every level from molecular and cellular to brain imaging and behavioural. The journal primarily publishes original basic and translational studies, but will consider clinical studies which address mechanistic aspects of pain based on experimental approaches in human subjects.
The scope of the journal addresses all areas of pain neurobiology, including:
- Molecular substrates and cell signaling
- Genetics and epigenetics
- Spinal and brain circuitry
- Structural and physiological plasticity
- Developmental aspects
- Laboratory models of pain
- Brain imaging
- Neuroinflammation
- Pain and cognition
- Pain and emotion
