About the journal
Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy is a vehicle for the publication of scientific reports relating the functional and biochemical aspects of the nervous system with its microanatomical organization. The scope of the journal concentrates on reports which combine microanatomical, biochemical, pharmacological and behavioural approaches.
Papers should offer original data correlating the morphology of the nervous system (the brain and spinal cord in particular) with its biochemistry. Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy is particularly interested in publishing important studies performed with up-to-date methodology utilizing sensitive chemical microassays, hybridoma technology, immunocytochemistry, in situ hybridization and receptor radioautography, to name a few examples.
Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy is the natural vehicle for integrated studies utilizing these approaches. The articles will be selected by the editorial board and invited reviewers on the basis of their excellence and potential contribution to this field of neurosciences. Both in vivo and in vitro integrated studies in chemical neuroanatomy are appropriate subjects of interest to the journal. These studies should relate only to vertebrate species with particular emphasis on the mammalian and primate nervous systems.
Journal of Chemical Neuroanatomy will consider for publication manuscripts of an interdisciplinary nature rather than those dealing solely with one area of interest. Two types of contributions will be considered:
1. Original research articles: these should contain an Abstract, Introduction, Materials and methods, Results and Discussion sections. The text should be succinct but there is no restriction on the number of pages or figures.
2. Review articles: these should extensively survey a specific field. An Abstract is required although Materials and methods and Results sections are not. There are no restrictions on the number of figures or pages. Although review articles are usually invited, submitted review articles will also be considered.
The table of contents for this journal is now available pre-publication, via e-mail, as part of the free ContentsDirect service from Elsevier. Please send an e-mail message to cdhelp@elsevier.co.uk for further information about this service.

HARDCOPY SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS
One original and three copies of the manuscript, including Tables and Figures (and where appropriate original photomicro-graphs should be supplied with each copy) should be submitted to the Editor-in-Chief geographically closest to the corresponding author:
H.W.M. Steinbusch PhD, European Graduate School of Neuroscience (EURON), Maastricht University, Department of Psychiatry and Neuropsychology, P.O. Box 616, 6200 MD Maastricht, The Netherlands, tel: +31-(43)-3881021, fax: +31-(43)-3671096, e-mail: cheneu@np.unimaas.nl.;
R. Quirion, Scientific Director, Douglas Hospital Research Centre, McGill University 6875 blvd. Lasalle, Verdun, Que'bec, Canada, H4H 1R3, tel: +1-(514)-762-3048 ext 22934, fax: +1-(514)-762-3034, e-mail: quirem@douglas.las.mcgill.ca
STYLE AND PRESENTATION
1. All manuscripts should include a separate title sheet containing the title of the manuscript, the name of the author(s), institutional affiliation and full postal address, including telephone and, if available, fax number of the author to whom page proofs and correspondence should be dispatched.
2. All manuscripts should be typed, using double line spacing (including references, tables and figure legends) on A4 (210 x 297 mm) or equivalent paper. Margins of at least 40 mm should be left at the top, bottom and left-hand side of each page. Each page should be numbered in sequence in the top right-hand corner, with the title page as page 1.
3. Every paper for publication must be preceded by an abstract of not more than 250 words, stating the principal results and conclusions.
This should be typed on a separate sheet. The abstract should be self-contained and sufficiently comprehensive to allow effective use by abstracting services.
The Introduction should provide an adequate background for the research being reported, followed by Materials and methods, Results, and Discussion sections. In lengthy manuscripts, these sections should be divided into smaller sections using subheadings.
4. KEYWORDS: A maximum of 7 keywords, identified as such, should appear below the abstract. Do not repeat words from the title, and refer to Index Medicus for examples of headings.
Nomenclature, abbreviations and symbols should be used consistently and follow the latest internationally accepted rules. As a general rule, all except standard abbreviations should be defined when first used.
5. REFERENCES. Only articles that have been published or are in press may be included in the references. References to published literature should be quoted in the text by giving the author's name and year of publication in parentheses. The two possible forms of this depend on the context. One can either discuss a specific piece of work: e.g. 'see Hökfelt (1982)', or references can be appended to a statement '(Hökfelt, 1982; Sawchenko, 1983)'. If two or more references are cited, they should be in chronological order. For 3 or more authors, the first author should be cited and et al. within the text. The full list of authors should then be given in the reference list.
References to a 'personal communication' should be made only in the text, with the permission of the person who communicated the information. A letter from the cited person giving permission for the citing of unpublished results must be included. Where a work is cited as being 'in press' this implies that it has been formally accepted for publication. Permission from the author to refer to this work must be obtained and the name of the journal which has accepted the paper should be cited in the reference. References should be listed alphabetically in a section labelled 'References' at the end of the paper. Journal references should be arranged as follows, using abbreviated journal names, and giving the first and last page:
Cuello, A.C., Kanazawa, L., 1978. The distribution of substance P immunoreactive fibers in the rat central nervous system. J. Comp. Neurol. 178, 129-156.
Book References should be given as follows:
Either: Bures, J., Buresova, O., Huston, J., 1983. Techniques and Basic Experiments for the Study of Brain and Behaviour, Elsevier, Amsterdam.
or: Rossier, J., Bloom, F., 1982. Central neuropharmacology of endorphins. In: Malick, J.B., Bell, R.M.S. (Eds.), Endorphins. Dekker, New York, pp. 165-186.
6. TABLES. These should be typed in double spacing, with adequate space between vertical and horizontal columns. The units in which the results are expressed should be given at the top of each column and not repeated in each line of the table. Tables should be numbered consecutively with Arabic numerals.
7. ILLUSTRATIONS. All illustrations should be submitted in their final form. Line diagrams should be in black ink on tracing paper. Half-tones should be selected for their clarity and sharpness and should be mounted on thin card only and printed on white glossy photographic paper. All half-tones should be supplied for same-size reproduction; either to fit one column width only of 82 mm wide x 235 mm maximum depth; or to a maximum printed area of 173 mm wide x 235 mm depth. Photographs and illustrations supplied larger than these maximum areas will be reduced and care should be taken that any lettering will still be legible when reduced. The name of the author, figure number and an arrow indicating the orientation of the illustration should be included on the back of each illustration. Figure legends (captions) should be typed on a separate sheet, using double spacing. Colour photographs and line illustrations using a second colour will be printed only at the author's expense. Details of these charges are available from the publisher and the editors.
GENERAL
1. Manuscripts will be returned if rejected, together with referees' comments.
2. Manuscripts returned for revision with referees' comments should be resubmitted within 3 months.
PROOFS
1. Manuscripts will not be returned if accepted, but the publisher will supply proofs to the designated author prior to publication.
Proofs are provided primarily for checking typesetting accuracy. Any alterations from the edited manuscript will be subject to the publisher's discretion. No page charges will be levied against authors or their institutions for publication in this journal.
2. 25 reprints will be supplied free of charge to the designated author and the publisher will supply a reprint order form at proof stage for the purchase of additional copies. As a special bonus we can offer an author who submits an article for a second time 100 free reprints instead of the normal 50.
Authors are invited to consult the Editors-in-Chief if in doubt about any aspect of scope, format or content of a proposed manuscript.
