The aim of the Journal is to stimulate, publish and disseminate original investigations on the autonomic nervous system: this includes
the innervation of blood vessels and viscera, autonomic ganglia, efferent and afferent autonomic pathways, and autonomic nuclei and pathways
in the central nervous system.
The Editors will consider papers that deal with any aspect of the autonomic nervous system, including
structure, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, development, evolution, ageing, behavioural aspects, integrative role and influence
on emotional and physical states of the body. Interdisciplinary studies will be encouraged. Studies dealing with human pathology will
be also welcome.
The main types of contribution are full-length articles. These should be as concise as possible and should describe
original research that materially advances knowledge of the autonomic nervous system.
Short communications, book reviews and short
review articles will be considered for publication.
