Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology® publishes advances in translational and interdisciplinary research on psychopharmacology, broadly defined, and/or substance abuse.

The scope of research in these areas continues to expand and to benefit from collaborations across a broad range of disciplines, including behavioral science, biochemistry, brain imaging, genetics, medicine, neuroendocrinology, neuroscience, and pharmacology.

The overall goal of Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology is to provide a forum for high-quality, innovative preclinical and clinical research that advances our understanding of the behavioral and biological determinants of the effects of centrally acting drugs.
