Pharmacology Biochemistry & Behavior publishes original reports in the areas of pharmacology and biochemistry in which the primary emphasis and theoretical context are behavioral. Contributions may involve clinical, preclinical, or basic research. Purely behavioral studies and toxicology studies will not be published unless they have directly demonstrable relevance to the areas of pharmacology or biochemistry. Papers describing the behavioral effects of novel psychoactive drugs in models of psychiatric diseases must include a positive control.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.
