神經生物學的進展旨在幫助個人跟上先進的知識，在廣泛的神經科學領域通過出版綜合評論領先的研究人員。它將包括神經生理學、生物化學、藥理學、分子生物學、解剖學和行為分析的應用，以解決分子、細胞、發育和系統神經科學的問題。將特別注意那些新技術的可用性已導致對神經系統問題采取多學科方法的領域。總編輯的意圖是，綜述應足夠清晰，以適應博士和博士后學生，以及神經科學和相關領域的研究科學家的同化。作者是國際的。

Progress in Neurobiology is designed to help individuals keep abreast of advances in knowledge in the broad field of neurosciences through the publication of comprehensive reviews by leading researchers. It will include the application of neurophysiological, biochemical, pharmacological, molecular biological, anatomical, and behavioral analyses to problems of molecular, cellular, developmental, and systems neuroscience. Special attention will be given to those areas where availability of new techniques has led to a multi-disciplinary approach to the problems of the nervous system. It is the intention of the Editor-in-Chief that the reviews should be of sufficient clarity to be suitable for assimilation by doctoral and postdoctoral students as well as by research scientists in neuroscience and allied fields. The authorship is international.
