Who is the Intended Audience?
The intended audience are those that regularly read the Journal of Behavioral and Brain Sciences mostly because it's a continuing issue, with addendum from the previous issues. Not only that but the journal is heavily focused on those that would want to learn about how the brain affects behavior and does not pander that the people may not understand everything that is being addressed.

What is the Context for this Journal?
This journal was published in December of 2004 by Cambridge University; as a scientific journal it's expected to be formatted with a certain style of lots of words and graphs to back up the claims, adding on to that are the numerous published responses given by other sources to the main article.
What is the Overall Message?
There isn't really an overall message within the journal, as there are multiple unconnected articles within the journal all delineating some neuroscience research and are not as a whole making a point in research.
What is the Journal Trying to Achieve?
The journal issue in question is trying to educate not only on things like schizophrenia but also issues like religion and how they have effected the brains of those practicing these religions and their attitudes.
