Declining or Waning
- Traditional Pharmacological Studies:
Research focusing solely on traditional pharmacological interventions without integrating neurobiological insights has become less prominent, as there is a growing emphasis on personalized medicine and multi-faceted treatment approaches. - Animal Models in Isolation:
The reliance on animal models without correlating findings to human studies has diminished, with a shift towards more integrative approaches that consider human clinical data and translational implications. - Basic Neuroscience without Clinical Relevance:
Papers that focus exclusively on basic neuroscience without a clear clinical application are becoming less frequent, as the journal prioritizes studies that connect foundational research with clinical outcomes. - Single-Factor Studies:
Research focusing on single factors in isolation, such as one type of neurotransmitter or one specific brain region, is declining in favor of studies that explore the interconnectedness of multiple systems and their roles in health and disease.
