《視覺神經科學》是一本國際期刊，致力于出版高質量的基礎視覺神經科學實驗和理論研究報告。出版的一個主要目標是將反映當代視覺神經機制研究的多樣性和原創性的廣泛研究匯集在一份期刊上。貢獻涉及脊椎動物和無脊椎動物物種的分子細胞和系統級過程。如果研究的目的是解決有關視覺神經機制的問題，則包括完全基于臨床心理生理學或行為數據的研究。

Visual Neuroscience is an international journal devoted to the publication of high-quality reports of experimental and theoretical research in basic visual neuroscience. A major goal of publication is to bring together in one journal a broad range of studies that reflect the diversity and originality of contemporary research on neural mechanisms of vision. Contributions deal with molecular cellular and systems-level processes in both vertebrate and invertebrate species. Studies based exclusively on clinical psychophysiological or behavioral data are included if they are designed to address questions concerning neural mechanisms of vision.
