Aims and Scope:

Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism stands at the interface between basic and clinical neurovascular research, and features timely and relevant research highlighting experimental, theoretical, and clinical aspects of brain circulation, metabolism and imaging.

Readership:

The journal is relevant to any physician or scientist with an interest in brain function, cerebrovascular disease, cerebral vascular regulation and brain metabolism, including neurologists, neurochemists, physiologists, pharmacologists, anesthesiologists, neuroradiologists, neurosurgeons, neuropathologists and neuroscientists.

Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism provides:

• Original Research - high quality, peer reviewed, authoritative research articles communicating the most significant findings to a broad multi-disciplinary readership.
• Reviews - top international researchers reveal cutting-edge advances in their respective areas of expertise providing readers with an authoritative overview of new developments in their fields.
• Rapid Communications - intended to disseminate information as quickly as possible due to the new research and information presented.
• Brief Communications - short research articles.
• Commentaries - put an original article in context and expand on how the findings are relevant.

What makes Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism stand apart?

• The only journal of its kind - covering translational neurovascular research, Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism provides peer-reviewed original research from leading researchers on all aspects of brain circulation, metabolism and imaging in a field you would otherwise need several journal subscriptions to cover.
• Accessibility to a Broad Readership - articles published in Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism are accompanied by supplementary information in the form of text, figures or videos. This allows readers to tailor information to suit their individual needs.
• Web Focuses - presented by Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism, these focuses collect original research and reviews articles on various hot topics in neurovascular research - from its own pages as well as from other well-respected NPG journals, the journal publishes them FREE online. Topics for 2007 include:
• Genes in Ischemia
