Abstract
Despite significant advancements in brain research, the intricacies of the brain remain a mystery. The Human Brain Project (HBP) is an international research initiative modeled1-3 after the Human Genome Project (HGP), launched in both the United States and Europe,4, 5 that aims to unravel the complex structure and function of the human brain. HBP takes an interdisciplinary approach, incorporating fields such as biology, medicine, informatics, chemistry, materials, and physics. Such an approach is necessary for furthering our understanding of the brain and advancing neuroscience as a field.
However, there is currently no professional journal that focuses specifically on interdisciplinary approaches to brain and neuroscience research. To fill this gap, we are proud to announce the launch of Brain-X. The “X” in the name represents the intersection of brain and neuroscience with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary research. This international publication will showcase the latest discoveries and technological breakthroughs, providing novel insights into all aspects of brain, neuroscience, and neurology.
Brain-X is dedicated to promoting interdisciplinarity and welcomes contributions from diverse fields. In particular, the journal strongly encourages studies that utilize mathematics, physics, chemistry, engineering, materials science, or information science to tackle issues in brain and neuroscience research across various disciplines. As a peer-reviewed and open-access journal, Brain-X partners with Wiley to enhance the visibility of interdisciplinary research in this field. The journal publishes a range of article types, including original research articles, data articles, methods articles, reviews, perspectives, research letters, commentaries, and correspondences.
Brain-X will comprehensively cover a broad range of topics, including but not limited to aging and brain, brain-computer interface, brain injury and rehabilitation, brain-inspired computing and artificial intelligence (AI), brain-inspired 3D printing, brain rhythm and disease, brain-gut axis, cellular and molecular neuroscience, cerebral organoids, chemical neuroscience, clinical neurology, computational neuroscience, crosstalk between brain and other organs, nanoparticles for brain drug delivery, and nerve regeneration materials.
The editorial board of Brain-X comprises influential scientists from around the world who enthusiastically encourage contributions from researchers. The journal guarantees a rapid review process with fair and prompt decisions. Upon acceptance, high-quality support from the editorial team ensures that the manuscript reaches its full potential in brain and neuroscience research. Brain-X aims to serve as a platform for students, scientists, and clinicians to share their discoveries and perspectives on brain, neuroscience, and neurology. The journal is committed to providing valuable and helpful information to the community in a timely and innovative manner.
