摘要
40多年来,Steven F. Maier博士通过创新研究、有影响力的指导和对科学界的奉献服务,塑造了心理神经免疫学领域。在他结束《大脑、行为与免疫》副主编的任期之际,这篇文章回顾了他最具变革性的科学贡献——从将习得性无助概念化到揭示将压力与疾病易感性联系起来的神经和免疫机制。根据我们作为长期学员和后来的同事的经验,我们还分享了他独特的指导风格、对科学严谨性的坚定承诺以及对该领域的持久影响。
Dr. Steven F. Maier: A fearless scientist, a rigorous mentor, and a legacy of excellence
For more than 40 years, Dr. Steven F. Maier has shaped the field of psychoneuroimmunology through innovative research, influential mentorship, and dedicated service to the scientific community. As he concludes his tenure as Associate Editor of Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, this tribute reflects on his most transformative scientific contributions—from conceptualizing learned helplessness to uncovering the neural and immune mechanisms linking stress to disease vulnerability. Drawing from our experiences as longtime mentees and later colleagues, we also share reflections on his unique mentoring style, unwavering commitment to scientific rigor, and enduring influence on the field.
期刊介绍:
Established in 1987, Brain, Behavior, and Immunity proudly serves as the official journal of the Psychoneuroimmunology Research Society (PNIRS). This pioneering journal is dedicated to publishing peer-reviewed basic, experimental, and clinical studies that explore the intricate interactions among behavioral, neural, endocrine, and immune systems in both humans and animals.
As an international and interdisciplinary platform, Brain, Behavior, and Immunity focuses on original research spanning neuroscience, immunology, integrative physiology, behavioral biology, psychiatry, psychology, and clinical medicine. The journal is inclusive of research conducted at various levels, including molecular, cellular, social, and whole organism perspectives. With a commitment to efficiency, the journal facilitates online submission and review, ensuring timely publication of experimental results. Manuscripts typically undergo peer review and are returned to authors within 30 days of submission. It's worth noting that Brain, Behavior, and Immunity, published eight times a year, does not impose submission fees or page charges, fostering an open and accessible platform for scientific discourse.
