The primary mission of Behavioral Neuroscience is to publish original research papers in the broad field of the biological bases of behavior. Occasional review articles and theoretical papers are also acceptable for publication if they are judged to make original and important conceptual contributions to the field. Studies covering the entire range of relevant biological and neural sciences, for example, anatomy, chemistry, physiology, endocrinology, and pharmacology, are considered so long as behavioral variables are measured or manipulated or if the work has clear relevance to behavior. Studies on the genetic, evolutionary, and developmental aspects of behavior are also appropriate, as are behavioral studies, if they have clear implications for biological processes or mechanisms. Single-experiment papers are deemed just as acceptable as multiple-experiment papers. Good experimental design, controls and procedures importance or significance, and proper scholarship are the major criteria. The journal also publishes a "Brief Communications" section. Papers for this section should be so labeled and must not exceed 3,250 words of text, with no more than two figures and/or tables. The journal will also occasionally publish "Technical Comments" concerning research papers it has previously published, as well as responses by the authors. These must not exceed 800 words.
　　行为神经科学的主要任务是在行为生物学基础的广泛领域发表原创研究论文。偶尔的评论文章和理论论文也可以发表，如果他们被认为对这个领域有独到的重要的概念性贡献。只要行为变量被测量或操纵，或者工作与行为有明确的相关性，就可以考虑涵盖相关生物和神经科学的整个范围的研究，例如解剖学、化学、生理学、内分泌学和药理学。对行为的遗传、进化和发展方面的研究也是恰当的，如果行为研究对生物过程或机制有明确的暗示的话，也是恰当的。单个实验论文和多个实验论文一样可以接受。良好的实验设计，控制和程序的重要性或重要性，以及适当的奖学金是主要标准。《华尔街日报》还刊登了“简要交流”栏目。本节的论文应贴上标签，文字不得超过3250字，图表和/或表格不得超过两张。《华尔街日报》还将偶尔发表有关其先前发表的研究论文的“技术评论”，以及作者的回应。字数不得超过800字。
