認知、情感和行為神經科學發表評論和主要研究文章，涉及人類的行為和大腦過程，包括正常參與者和腦損傷患者。此外，強烈推薦使用動物模型來處理涉及行為、侵入性或成像方法的認知或情感過程的文章。如果文章涉及與認知相關的主題，如感知、注意、記憶、語言、解決問題和推理，或與情感過程和情感狀態相關的主題，如恐懼、焦慮、憤怒和驚訝，那么這些文章將適合《華爾街日報》。在所有情況下，編輯將給予最高優先級的論文，報告結合行為和神經科學的方法，以解決這些研究主題;我們還邀請使用計算和其他建模方法的合成論文。

Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience publishes review and primary research articles concerned with behavior and brain processes in humans, both normal participants and patients with brain injury. In addition, articles that use animal models to address cognitive or affective processes involving behavioral, invasive, or imaging methods are also strongly encouraged. Articles will be appropriate to the journal if they cover topics relating to cognition such as perception, attention, memory, language, problem-solving, and reasoning or topics concerning emotional processes and affective states such as fear, anxiety, anger, and surprise. In all cases, the editors will give highest priority to papers that report a combination of behavioral and neuroscientific methods to address these research topics; we also invite synthetic papers that make use of computational and other approaches to modeling.
