《壓力》雜志的目的是為從事基本壓力研究的科學(xué)家提供閱讀該領(lǐng)域更全面觀點的可能性。同行評審的論文、受邀評審和簡短的交流將涉及壓力的跨學(xué)科方面:壓力刺激的機(jī)制，包括個體內(nèi)部和個體之間;對壓力的生理和行為反應(yīng)，以及它們在短期和長期的調(diào)節(jié);適應(yīng)機(jī)制，應(yīng)對策略和壓力的病理結(jié)果。《壓力》將出版生理學(xué)、神經(jīng)生物學(xué)、分子生物學(xué)、遺傳學(xué)研究、免疫學(xué)和行為研究的最新進(jìn)展，因為它們會影響對壓力及其不良后果的理解和改善。具體方法可能包括轉(zhuǎn)基因動物、發(fā)育/程序研究、電生理學(xué)、組織化學(xué)、神經(jīng)化學(xué)、神經(jīng)藥理學(xué)、神經(jīng)解剖學(xué)、內(nèi)分泌學(xué)、自主生理學(xué)、免疫學(xué)、慢性疼痛、行為學(xué)和其他行為研究和臨床措施。

The journal Stress aims to provide scientists involved in basic stress research with the possibility of reading a more integrated view of the field. Peer reviewed papers, invited reviews and short communications will deal with interdisciplinary aspects of stress in terms of: the mechanisms of stressful stimulation, including within and between individuals; the physiological and behavioural responses to stress, and their regulation, in both the short and long term; adaptive mechanisms, coping strategies and the pathological consequences of stress. Stress will publish the latest developments in physiology, neurobiology, molecular biology, genetics research, immunology, and behavioural studies as they impact on the understanding of stress and its adverse consequences and their amelioration. Specific approaches may include transgenic animals, developmental/programming studies, electrophysiology, histochemistry, neurochemistry, neuropharmacology, neuroanatomy, endocrinology, autonomic physiology, immunology, chronic pain, ethological and other behavioural studies and clinical measures.
