《神經(jīng)發(fā)育障礙雜志》是一份開放獲取的期刊，融合了當(dāng)前許多學(xué)科的前沿研究，包括神經(jīng)生物學(xué)、遺傳學(xué)、認(rèn)知神經(jīng)科學(xué)、精神病學(xué)和心理學(xué)。該雜志主要關(guān)注神經(jīng)發(fā)育障礙的發(fā)病機(jī)制，包括自閉癥、脆性X綜合征、結(jié)節(jié)性硬化癥、特納綜合征、22q缺失綜合征、普瑞德-威利和安格曼綜合征、威廉姆斯綜合征、溶酶體儲(chǔ)存疾病、閱讀障礙、特殊語言障礙和胎兒酒精綜合征。隨著特定基因在神經(jīng)發(fā)育綜合征基礎(chǔ)上的發(fā)現(xiàn)，研究神經(jīng)回路的強(qiáng)大工具的出現(xiàn)，以及探索分子機(jī)制的新方法的發(fā)展，神經(jīng)發(fā)育障礙發(fā)病機(jī)制的跨學(xué)科研究現(xiàn)在越來越普遍。《神經(jīng)發(fā)育障礙雜志》為研究人員提供了一個(gè)獨(dú)特的場(chǎng)所，他們有興趣比較和對(duì)比與各種神經(jīng)發(fā)育障礙發(fā)病機(jī)制相關(guān)的機(jī)制和特征，加深我們對(duì)每種疾病的病因?qū)W和相關(guān)表型的理解。

Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders is an open access journal that integrates current, cutting-edge research across a number of disciplines, including neurobiology, genetics, cognitive neuroscience, psychiatry and psychology. The journal’s primary focus is on the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders including autism, fragile X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, Turner Syndrome, 22q Deletion Syndrome, Prader-Willi and Angelman Syndrome, Williams syndrome, lysosomal storage diseases, dyslexia, specific language impairment and fetal alcohol syndrome. With the discovery of specific genes underlying neurodevelopmental syndromes, the emergence of powerful tools for studying neural circuitry, and the development of new approaches for exploring molecular mechanisms, interdisciplinary research on the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders is now increasingly common. Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders provides a unique venue for researchers interested in comparing and contrasting mechanisms and characteristics related to the pathogenesis of the full range of neurodevelopmental disorders, sharpening our understanding of the etiology and relevant phenotypes of each condition.
