OBM Neurobiology

(ISSN 2573-4407)

OBM Neurobiology is an international peer-reviewed Open Access journal published quarterly online by LIDSEN Publishing Inc. By design, the scope of OBM Neurobiology is broad, so as to reflect the multidisciplinary nature of the field of Neurobiology that interfaces biology with the fundamental and clinical neurosciences. As such, OBM Neurobiology embraces rigorous multidisciplinary investigations into the form and function of neurons and glia that make up the nervous system, either individually or in ensemble, in health or disease. OBM Neurobiology welcomes original contributions that employ a combination of molecular, cellular, systems and behavioral approaches to report novel neuroanatomical, neuropharmacological, neurophysiological and neurobehavioral findings related to the following aspects of the nervous system: Signal Transduction and Neurotransmission; Neural Circuits and Systems Neurobiology; Nervous System Development and Aging; Neurobiology of Nervous System Diseases (e.g., Developmental Brain Disorders; Neurodegenerative Disorders).

OBM Neurobiology publishes a variety of article types (Original Research, Review, Communication, Opinion, Comment, Conference Report, Technical Note, Book Review, etc.). Although the OBM Neurobiology Editorial Board encourages authors to be succinct, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. Authors should present their results in as much detail as possible, as reviewers are encouraged to emphasize scientific rigor and reproducibility.

Topical Collection Information

The WHO classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System (CNS) highlighted the pivotal role of molecular and genetic markers for predicting tumor biological behavior, therapy response and patient prognosis. We seek original research articles focusing on genetic, molecular and radiological features of CNS tumors that might impact on clinical practice, including clinical and preclinical data. Additionally, we invite submission of reviews, editorials, case reports, technical reports elucidating biological features of the CNS tumors, the interaction of tumors with healthy nervous tissue, as well as illustrating the effect of medications and cutting-edge technology on CNS tumor diagnosis and treatment.

Precision Brain Tumour Diagnosis with Convolutional Recurrent Attention Networks

Received: 25 May 2026;  Published: 28 August 2026;  doi: 10.21926/obm.neurobiol.2603351

Abstract

Histological heterogeneity and complex imaging patterns make brain tumour diagnosis difficult. In order to make timely clinical decisions and plan personalised treatment, MRI multi-class brain tumour classification must be accurate. Expert evaluation in conventional image interpretation increases di [...]

Clinical Characteristics of Patients with Pituitary Adenoma: A Single-Center, Cross-Sectional Study from Surabaya, Indonesia (2016-2020)

Received: 04 January 2026;  Published: 24 August 2026;  doi: 10.21926/obm.neurobiol.2603348

Abstract

Pituitary adenoma (PA) is a benign tumor, accounting for the majority of pituitary tumors. While extensive epidemiological data on PA exists globally, such data is limited in Indonesia. Epidemiological insights are crucial as disease patterns, including PA, can be ethnicity-dependent, and the incide [...]
