Journal of Molecular Psychiatry is accepting submissions

Journal of Molecular Psychiatry, a new journal edited by Professor Johannes Thome, is now accepting submissions with BioMed Central. The journal will publish scientific work which focuses on the elucidation of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying neuropsychiatric disorders. Expanding the traditional approach of biological psychiatry using advanced techniques of molecular biology, neuroimaging, behavioural biology, regenerative medicine and psychopharmacology, the journal will disseminate state-of-the-art research focusing on psychiatric conditions, their diagnosis, therapy and prevention.

Advancing understanding in eating disorders

Journal of Eating Disorders, a new BioMed Central journal is now accepting submissions. Edited by Professor Phillipa Hay and Professor Stephen Touyz, this journal aims to disseminate research that provides answers to the important issues and key challenges in the field of eating disorders, and to facilitate translation of evidence into practice.

Acta Neuropathologica Communications is accepting submissions

Acta Neuropathologica Communications, a new BioMed Central journal, edited by Werner Paulus is now accepting submissions. The journal publishes experimental and descriptive papers on the pathology of nervous system and skeletal muscle disorders and on mechanisms of neurological disease using morphological, molecular and cell biology methods. This is the sister journal to Acta Neuropathologica, published by Springer, which is also edited by Werner Paulus.
