The brain is the central organ of the nervous system, an integrated network of billions of neurons and glial cells organized into the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstem that governs perception, movement, cognition, emotion, and the regulation of bodily functions. Its cortical and subcortical structures, white-matter tracts, and functional networks support sensory processing, motor control, memory, and higher cognition, sustained by tightly regulated cerebral blood flow and metabolism. Investigation of the brain combines structural and functional neuroimaging, electrophysiology, and histopathological and molecular analysis to characterize both normal function and the pathology of tumors, vascular disease, neurodegeneration, epilepsy, and traumatic injury. Therapeutic strategies range from pharmacology and surgery to neuromodulation techniques such as deep brain stimulation, which targets specific nuclei to treat movement disorders and epilepsy. Research in this area examines malignant brain neoplasms and their epidemiology, deep brain stimulation of the subthalamic nucleus in Parkinson's disease and as a target for epilepsy, cerebral hemodynamics and cerebrovascular reactivity, functional connectivity in dementia, traumatic brain injury outcomes, and the molecular characterization of neurological disease. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research on brain structure, function, pathology, and treatment across experimental, clinical, and translational settings.
