Biological Psychology (BP)
Journal Descriptions
Biological Psychology is a well‑established, peer‑reviewed journal published by Elsevier B.V. that has been in continuous publication since 1973. It focuses on research exploring the complex relationships between physiological systems and psychological phenomena. Studies published in the journal investigate biological mechanisms underlying behaviour, emotion and cognition, integrating methods from electrophysiology (EEG, ERP), neuroimaging (fMRI, PET), hormonal and immune system assays, autonomic measures, and biochemical analyses. A core emphasis is on empirical work with human subjects, although theoretically relevant animal studies are considered when they offer insights into human biological psychology. The journal welcomes diverse research designs including experimental, longitudinal and computational studies, along with critical methodological innovations. Special issues often highlight emerging topics such as neural correlates of emotion, stress physiology, interoception, and psychobiological markers of mental health. Authors contributing to Biological Psychology aim to deepen scientific understanding at the interface of psychology and biology, informing fields like clinical psychology, cognitive neuroscience and behavioural medicine. The journal is widely indexed in major abstracting services and has a global authorship and readership, reflecting its broad interdisciplinary impact.
