Aims and Scope of Hormones and Behavior
Hormones and Behavior is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering behavioral endocrinology. It is published by Elsevier and is an official journal of the Society for Behavioral Neuroendocrinology. The journal covers hormone-brain relationships and publishes original research articles from laboratory or field studies on species ranging from invertebrates to mammals. It focuses on neuroendocrine and endocrine mechanisms affecting the development of behavior and on the ecological and evolutionary significance of hormone-behavior relationships. Less
