計算神經科學雜志為符合神經科學計算和實驗工作之間的接口的論文提供了一個論壇。《計算神經科學雜志》發表了完整的原創論文，描述了與大腦和神經系統計算相關的理論和實驗工作。特別鼓勵理論和實驗相結合的論文。主要的理論論文應該處理與生物神經系統明顯相關的問題。實驗論文應該對神經系統的計算功能有意義，并且可以使用包括解剖、電生理、生物物理、成像和分子生物學在內的各種方法報告結果。報告計算神經科學研究人員感興趣的新技術的論文也受到歡迎。預計從認知到細胞的所有層次的分析都將在《計算神經科學雜志》上發表。

The Journal of Computational Neuroscience provides a forum for papers that fit the interface between computational and experimental work in the neurosciences. The Journal of Computational Neuroscience publishes full length original papers describing theoretical and experimental work relevant to computations in the brain and nervous system. Papers that combine theoretical and experimental work are especially encouraged. Primarily theoretical papers should deal with issues of obvious relevance to biological nervous systems. Experimental papers should have implications for the computational function of the nervous system and may report results using any of a variety of approaches including anatomy electrophysiology biophysics imaging and molecular biology. Papers that report novel technologies of interest to researchers in computational neuroscience are also welcomed. It is anticipated that all levels of analysis from cognitive to cellular will be represented in the Journal of Computational Neuroscience .
