Psychoneuroendocrinology publishes papers dealing with the interrelated disciplines of psychology, neurobiology, endocrinology,
immunology, neurology, and psychiatry, with an emphasis on multidisciplinary studies aiming at integrating these disciplines in terms
of either basic research or clinical implications. One of the main goals is to understand how a variety of psychobiological factors interact
in the expression of the stress response as it relates to the development and/or maintenance of neuropsychiatric illnesses. The journal
is international and comprises original research papers, reviews of an area of the literature, or at an appropriate stage in the development
of the author's own work, commentaries in areas of current interest, short communications and book reviews. Although reviews, editorials
and commentaries are usually by invitation, interested authors can contact one of the Co-Editors-in-Chief to discuss the suitability
of topics for either category of manuscripts.
