Neuroscience and Behavioral Physiology - Editor-in-Chief’s Featured Article
With each issue, our Editor-in-Chief, Dr. Balaban, selects articles of particular interest and significance.
Volume 52, Issue 3, March 2022
From the editor – “The paper reviews neurophysiological and behavioral data based on noninvasive treatments of the cerebellum and spinal cord with the aim to improve and restore motor functions. The possible causes of contradictions in results from different authors using weak direct current neuromodulation of the cerebellum and spinal cord are considered.”
Stolbkov, Y.K., Gerasimenko, Y.P.
Volume 52, Issue 2, February 2022
From the editor – “Experiments reported in the paper suggest that prenatal hypoxia induces a decrease in olfactory function in rats resulting from impairment of the central elements of the analyzer development during the first months of postnatal ontogeny.”

Dubrovskaya, N.M., Vasilev, D.S., Tumanova, N.L., Alekseeva, O. S. & Nalivaeva, N. N.
From the editor – “The paper reviews the role of interactions in the corticolimbic system in forming the behavioral responses to threatening stimuli in ontogenesis. Critical analysis of published data on this question is clarifying the mechanisms of formation of adolescent psychopathology.”
Dygalo, N.N.
Volume 52, Issue 1, January 2022
From the editor – “Molecular mechanisms of functioning of a new family of epigenetic regulators of major cell functions, sirtuins, are reviewed in the paper. These molecules are present in the cells and support the antioxidant defense of neurons, may have potential as diagnostic markers and treatment targets for neuropathologies.”
Pukhalskaia, A.E., Diatlova, A.S., Linkova & Kvetnoy, I. M.
Volume 51, Issue 4, May 2021
From the editor – “In this paper an experimental EEG analysis of resting state network connectivity during the ‘incubation’ period (when the attention is not directed to the task) of solution seeking was performed. The results demonstrate that the optimum situation is a combination of defocusing of attention and increased activity in the motivational salience network.”
