Neural Regeneration Research (NRR) is a specialized international academic journal, which is supervised by the Ministry of Health, P.R. China, and covered by Science Citation Index. NRR focuses on basic and clinical research on neural regeneration, monthly, CNII-5422/R, ISSN 1673-5374, launched in April 2006, distributed all over the world. In January, 2008, NRR has been indexed in SCI-E owing to its rigorous academic attitude and clear research direction. In 2009, NRR will emphasis on novel findings in the mechanism research of nervous stem cells, nerve cells and tissue regeneration, involved in structure change, interactions and specific properties of nerve cells and tissue elements during development and disease. The journal has focused on research concerning the histomorphological changes of nerve cells, neural tissue engineering and neurodegeneration, and also the pathophysiological changes during nerve cells and tissue regeneration with treatment of traditional Chinese medicine. NRR publishes original contributions written by experts and leaders in the fields of neuroanatomy, pathology, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology, immunology, and auxanology approaches to examine neural regeneration research; it publishes experimental studies dealing with the structure and function of the nervous system, such as cerebral cortex, Hippocampus, pineal, glial cell, spinal cord neurons, peripheral neurons and sensory nerve injury and regeneration research. Clinical papers which examine normal or abnormal mechanisms in the process of neural regeneration, such as uncommon case reports and Investigation and Analysis are sought. NRR also welcomes papers from the perspective of theoretical hypothesis, research method, model preparation or imaging technique which show the features of neural regeneration.
