Experimental Brain Research

Registered Reports are a publication format in which the research question and the quality of methodology are peer-reviewed before the data are collected and analyzed. Registered Reports are intended to strengthen the methodology and transparency of research papers. The editors are pleased to offer this article type for authors submitting to Experimental Brain Research.

We invite you to contribute to a new Topical Collection entitled “Exercise-Related Changes to Brain: From Physiology to Behaviour” in Experimental Brain Research.

If you are interested in contributing to this topical collection, please contact one of the collection’s Guest Editors – Dr. Matthew Heath (mheath2@uwo.ca) or Dr. Lindsay Nagamatsu (lnagamat@uwo.ca). Please note that we invite submissions up to March 31, 2023.

We want to invite you to contribute to EBR’s newest Topical Collection “Motion Sickness: Its Causes, Neural Mechanisms, and Treatments.”

If you are interested in contributing an article to this collection, please contact Bill Yates (byates@pitt.edu). Articles must be submitted by December 31, 2022 to be considered for the collection. 

We want to invite you to contribute to EBR’s second Topical Collection “Dopamine System Involvement in Impulse Control.” The purpose of this topical collection is to help identify biological and neurophysiological factors that influence function within a person’s dopamine system and their levels of impulse control. Studies focusing on genetics, dopaminergic medication, and individual differences in dopamine synthesis are of particular interest. Studies assessing motor or cognitive domains of impulsivity across the lifespan in humans and in clinical populations are also welcomed.

The goal of this collection is to improve our understanding of factors contributing to individual differences in dopamine neurotransmission and resulting impulsive behavior. This understanding may lead to the stratification of risk for impaired impulsive trait behavior in otherwise healthy people and/or impulse control problems with the onset of disease.
 

If you are interested in contributing an Original Article or Review, please get in touch with one of the collection’s Guest Editors - Dr. Hayley MacDonald (h.j.macdonald@bham.ac.uk) or Dr. Marit Ruitenberg (m.f.l.ruitenberg@fsw.leidenuniv.nl).
