細胞和分子神經生物學發表關于細胞和亞細胞水平的神經元和大腦功能分析的原始研究。這本優秀的雙月刊提供了及時的同行評議文章，描述解剖遺傳生理學、藥理學和生物化學方法的神經功能的研究和基本機制的分析。對分離的哺乳動物組織和完整的動物進行研究，旨在研究單個細胞水平上的分子機制或神經元反應。該雜志還研究了神經元對其他器官系統的影響，如分析平滑肌或腺體細胞對神經遞質或神經激素的電或生化反應。所有文章均由至少兩名評審人員嚴格評審。

Cellular and Molecular Neurobiology publishes original research concerned with the analysis of neuronal and brain function at the cellular and subcellular levels. This superb bimonthly offers timely peer-reviewed articles that describe anatomic genetic physiologic pharmacologic and biochemical approaches to the study of neuronal function and the analysis of elementary mechanisms. Studies are presented on isolated mammalian tissues and intact animals with investigations aimed at the molecular mechanisms or neuronal responses at the level of single cells. The journal also presents studies of the effects of neurons on other organ systems such as analysis of the electrical or biochemical response to neurotransmitters or neurohormones on smooth muscle or gland cells. All articles are rigorously appraised by at least two referees.
