Acta Anatomica Nipponica (AAN)

Acta Anatomica Nipponica is a long-established scientific journal focused on anatomical and morphological research in Japan. Founded in 1961, it has historically served as an important publication platform for the Japanese Association of Anatomists. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research articles covering human anatomy, comparative anatomy, histology, cytology, and developmental biology. It has contributed significantly to the advancement of anatomical sciences in Japan and has also provided a medium for international academic exchange in morphological research. The journal emphasizes both gross and microscopic anatomical studies, including investigations into tissue structure, organ development, and neuroanatomy. Over time, Acta Anatomica Nipponica has documented important scientific progress in experimental anatomy and biomedical morphology, reflecting developments in medical education and research in Japan. It is typically published bimonthly, although publication frequency has varied in different historical periods. The journal played a key role in establishing Japan’s academic presence in anatomical sciences during the 20th century. While modern indexing and publication formats have evolved, its historical contributions remain valuable for anatomical research and medical history. Today, its legacy continues through newer anatomical and biomedical journals associated with Japanese academic societies.
