《神經發育障礙雜志》是一份開放獲取的期刊，融合了當前許多學科的前沿研究，包括神經生物學、遺傳學、認知神經科學、精神病學和心理學。該雜志主要關注神經發育障礙的發病機制，包括自閉癥、脆性X綜合征、結節性硬化癥、特納綜合征、22q缺失綜合征、普瑞德-威利和安格曼綜合征、威廉姆斯綜合征、溶酶體儲存疾病、閱讀障礙、特殊語言障礙和胎兒酒精綜合征。隨著特定基因在神經發育綜合征基礎上的發現，研究神經回路的強大工具的出現，以及探索分子機制的新方法的發展，神經發育障礙發病機制的跨學科研究現在越來越普遍。《神經發育障礙雜志》為研究人員提供了一個獨特的場所，他們有興趣比較和對比與各種神經發育障礙發病機制相關的機制和特征，加深我們對每種疾病的病因學和相關表型的理解。

Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders is an open access journal that integrates current, cutting-edge research across a number of disciplines, including neurobiology, genetics, cognitive neuroscience, psychiatry and psychology. The journal’s primary focus is on the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders including autism, fragile X syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, Turner Syndrome, 22q Deletion Syndrome, Prader-Willi and Angelman Syndrome, Williams syndrome, lysosomal storage diseases, dyslexia, specific language impairment and fetal alcohol syndrome. With the discovery of specific genes underlying neurodevelopmental syndromes, the emergence of powerful tools for studying neural circuitry, and the development of new approaches for exploring molecular mechanisms, interdisciplinary research on the pathogenesis of neurodevelopmental disorders is now increasingly common. Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders provides a unique venue for researchers interested in comparing and contrasting mechanisms and characteristics related to the pathogenesis of the full range of neurodevelopmental disorders, sharpening our understanding of the etiology and relevant phenotypes of each condition.
