Revista Brasileira de Neurologia

À propos de cette revue

Focus and Scope

The Revista Brasileira de Neurologia (RBN) is a peer-reviewed, open-access scientific journal published by the Institute of Neurology Deolindo Couto of the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (INDC-UFRJ), in association with the Neurology Association of Rio de Janeiro (Associação de Neurologia do Estado do Rio de Janeiro-ANERJ).

Founded in 1949 under the title Jornal Brasileiro de Neurologia and published under its current name since 1983, the RBN is one of the oldest scientific journals dedicated to neurology in Brazil, with continuous publication and an established editorial tradition.

The objective of the journal is to disseminate knowledge in the fields of clinical and basic neurosciences, thereby advancing in neurology and neuroscience.

The journal welcomes manuscripts that address neurological disorders, neurophysiology, neuroimaging, neurogenetics, neuroepidemiology, neurology education, historical aspects of neurology, and other topics relevant to contemporary neuroscience research and clinical practice.

The RBN gives priority to original research articles and also publishes review articles of recognized scientific relevance. Other manuscript categories — such as case reports, images in neurology, historical notes, and opinion articles — are considered on a complementary basis and must present clear scientific or educational relevance.

Since 2015, the journal has been published exclusively in digital format, providing immediate and free open access to its content.

The RBN adheres to good practices in scientific publishing, including blind peer review, editorial transparency, and ethical standards.

The journal is indexed in LILACS and is committed to expanding its visibility and international impact.
