神經毒理學和畸形學提供了成人神經毒理學和發育神經毒理學領域系統研究的原始報告，其中主要重點和理論背景是神經系統或行為。該雜志發表了原始的、同行評審的研究，涵蓋了農藥、濫用藥物、藥物、溶劑、重金屬、有機金屬、一般工業用化合物、海洋和植物毒素、大氣反應化合物以及輻射和噪音等物理因素的發育和成人神經毒性。神經毒性學和畸胎學還以簡短的交流為特征，簡要描述了一種新的方法、技術或裝置以及實驗結果。受邀審查和開放同行評注系列及時更新了正在經歷快速變化的科學領域的選定方面，或出現特殊方法或解釋問題的領域。

Neurotoxicology and Teratology presents original reports of systemic studies in the areas of adult neurotoxicology and developmental neurotoxicology in which the primary emphasis and theoretical context are on the nervous system and/or behavior. The Journal publishes original, peer-reviewed studies that cover the developmental and adult neurotoxicity of pesticides, drugs of abuse, pharmaceuticals, solvents, heavy metals, organometals, general industrial-use compounds, marine and plant toxins, atmospheric reaction compounds, and physical agents such as radiation and noise. Neurotoxicology and Teratology also features Brief Communications that concisely describe a new method, technique, or apparatus and experimental results. Invited Reviews and Open Peer Commentary series provide a timely update on selected aspects of a scientific field undergoing rapid change or on areas that present special methodological or interpretive problems.
